$7.00

27.50%

Citi describes a disappointing 3Q for Iluka Resources with mineral sands revenue of $232m compared to the $306m expected by the analysts. 

Zircon rutile and synthetic rutile production also disappointed on weak Chinese demand with upcoming Q4 zircon sales subject to seasonal weakness, highlights the broker.

For 2024 forecasts, Citi lowers rutile pricing by -3% and zircon by -5% (and -5% for 2025).

Buy. The target falls to $7.00 from $7.30.

FORECAST
Citi forecasts a full year FY24 dividend of 8.00 cents and EPS of 46.60 cents.
Citi forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 7.00 cents and EPS of 73.50 cents.

Buy

$7.70

40.26%

Iluka Resources delivered a weaker-than-expected 3Q24 result with mineral sands sales of 116kt, down -25-30% compared to expectations, resulting in revenue of $232m.

Goldman Sachs explains the lower-than-anticipated zircon sales, realised prices, and a delayed synthetic rutile shipment into 4Q contributed to the shortfall.

The company highlighted continued subdued demand in China for zircon used in ceramics but expects recovery in 2Q25.  Synthetic rutile sales are set to surge in 4Q as the company targets 90kt in sales.

The broker has reduced its price target to $7.70 from $7.90 and maintained a Buy rating, citing long-term growth potential in mineral sands and rare earths projects. Financial forecasts were adjusted to reflect reduced zircon sales and price assumptions.

FORECAST
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY24 dividend of 8.00 cents and EPS of 40.00 cents.
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 33.00 cents and EPS of 20.00 cents.
