Bell Potter rates PLS as Hold
PLS Group announced record quarterly spodumene concentrate production, Bell Potter highlights, with 3Q26 production of 232kt, higher than the analyst's forecast of 213kt, and sales of 196kt, which missed expectations.
Notably, higher lithium prices are helping to generate robust cash flow and earnings, the analyst explains, with free cash flow of around $375m over the period. Unit costs fell -11% q/q and were below forecasts, but in the June quarter the broker flags a rise in costs with the restarts of Ngungaju plant.
The lithium producer settled a US$600m Senior Unsecured Notes issue at 6.875% due 2031.
Target price is lifted to $5.50 from $4.60. No change to Hold rating. EPS forecasts are raised by 32% for FY26 and 43% for FY27.
Citi rates SUN as Neutral
Citi highlights Suncorp Group's introduction of five-year aggregate reinsurance cover as a key step in reducing earnings volatility, with the cost broadly offset and no impact on underlying margins.
The arrangement caps annual natural hazard losses above a threshold, improving downside protection and enabling a modest ($100m) capital release, the analysts explain.
While top-line growth is impacted by New Zealand gross written premium (GWP) disappointment and FX movements, the broker notes more favourable hazard experience expected in 2H26.
Citi retains a Neutral rating and raises its target to $17.50 from $16.75, reflecting reduced earnings volatility and updated assumptions.
