Syrah Resources (ASX:SYR) is back in focus after the US International Trade Commission decided against anti dumping and countervailing duties on Chinese graphite anode material. The ruling hit the share price and raised fresh liquidity questions.
See our latest analysis for Syrah Resources.
The ITC decision capped a tough run for Syrah, with the 1 day share price return of negative 29.17% at A$0.17 adding to a year to date share price return of negative 50.00% and a 3 year total shareholder return of negative 88.54%. This suggests momentum has been fading despite offtake news like the recent graphite supply agreement with NextSource.

With the share price under pressure and the stock trading below both analyst price targets and some intrinsic value estimates, the key question is whether Syrah is now mispriced or if the market is already factoring in all the future growth risks.
Most Popular Narrative: 64.2% Undervalued
At A$0.17, the most followed narrative anchors Syrah Resources' fair value close to A$0.48, putting a spotlight on how future earnings could reshape sentiment.
The potential expansion at Vidalia to a 45,000 ton production capacity, contingent on commercial sales and financing commitments, could lead to significant revenue growth as demand for U.S. domestic supply increases due to policy shifts.
If you want to see what sits behind that projected step up in revenue and profits, and the earnings multiple used to back into A$0.48, the full narrative lays out the entire earnings roadmap without sugar coating the assumptions.
Result: Fair Value of A$0.48 (UNDERVALUED)
Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.
However, this hinges on Balama disruptions easing and Vidalia moving from costs to commercial sales, both of which could easily slip and challenge that A$0.48 view.
