Neutral

$14.50

-4.42%

UBS highlights Sims' 1H25 earnings beat, driven by stronger North America Metals margins despite a slight volume decline. The broker notes the business is prioritising unprocessed scrap over dealer scrap, supporting profitability.

The broker notes tariff risks remain uncertain, with potential US steel and aluminium tariffs from March, but scrap is not yet included. Cost-cutting of -$77m since FY24 is nearly complete, with -$35m remaining in 2H25.

UBS expects 2H25 EBIT to require a strong 4Q, given a weak January and February. The $72m EBIT needed in 4Q aligns with past upswings but carries risk.

The broker raises the price target to $14.50 from $13.60. Neutral rating retained.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 16.00 cents and EPS of 49.00 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 30.00 cents and EPS of 84.00 cents.

Neutral

$14.80

-2.44%

Sims's reported 1H25 underlying earnings (EBITDA) of $202m was in line with Goldman Sachs' expectations. Scrap trading margins improved 3% year-on-year, offsetting a -4% decline in sales volumes.

Management offered no 2H25 guidance, but Sims expects a similar supply-demand balance.

Inflationary costs have stabilised, though labour expenses increased to 40% of total costs. Portfolio optimisation continues, with potential divestments, including the high-growth Sims Lifecycle Services business.

The broker lowers FY25-27 earnings (EBITDA) forecasts by -10%/-11%/-6%, reducing the 12-month target price to $14.80 from $15.50. Neutral.

FORECAST
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY25 EPS of 76.00 cents.
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY26 EPS of 148.00 cents.
