Thoughts on Whitehaven Coal (WHC) versus Bowen Coal (BCB)

Hi Guys, I would love to hear your thoughts on the upside differential between these two stocks over the next 6 to 12 months. I see that you currently hold both. Thanks, Phillip

Answer

Hi Phillip,

We are currently holding Whitehaven Coal (WHC) in our Flagship Growth Portfolio and Bowen Coking Coal (BCB) in our Emerging Companies Portfolio, this is a tough question to answer as the 2 companies are at very different stages of their life:

  • Whitehaven Coal (WHC) $9.57 – This is a $8.6bn mature company which is churning out profits, the longer the coal price can stay high the higher WHC can push.
  • Bowen Coking Coal (BCB) 27c – This $495mn QLD business has fairly recently announced their second shipment of ~40kt of metallurgical coal from its Bluff Coal mine and initial processing at Broadmeadow East, basically this is a more aggressive / leveraged play than WHC towards higher coal prices for longer.
