Downgrade to Neutral from Buy

$0.72

0.70%

UBS lowers its target for Vault Minerals to 72c from 75c and downgrades to Neutral from Buy after three-year production guidance  came in lower than the broker’s expectation.

Consequently, the broker trims its FY26-28 production forecasts by an average of -7%.

FY26 guidance of around 346koz is down from 385koz in FY25, impacted by Deflector’s transition to owner mining, development at Spanish Galleon, and Leonora’s plant expansion, explains the broker.

More positively, the analysts note FY28 includes 42koz from Sugar Zone on an earlier restart.

Cost (AISC) guidance proved resilient, according to UBS, at around -$2,900/oz despite weaker output, with Leonora at -$2,350/oz including inventory charges. FY26 capex of -$278m was only slightly above the UBS forecast.

Despite a strong balance sheet with $686m cash and bullion, recent share price strength and slower buy-back execution contribute to the broker's material downgrades to forecast earnings. 

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY26 EPS of 3.00 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY27 EPS of 8.00 cents.

Downgrade to Neutral from Buy

$0.49

-31.47%

Jarden lowers its target for Vault Minerals to 49c from 51c after allowing for management's three-year targets and downgrades to Neutral from Buy given the recent strong share price.

FY26 production guidance of 332-360koz came in below consensus, with weaker output at Deflector during its owner-operator transition, while Mount Monger and King of the Hills are steady, explains the broker.

The analysts explain group costs (AISC) of -$2,650-2,850/oz reflect lower production and transition costs at Deflector, plus higher expensed mining at Mount Monger. It's also noted Leonora also faces higher material movement costs offset by inventory credits.

Growth capex falls around -10% year-on-year, though Deflector’s -$48m is above consensus due to new underground equipment, notes Jarden. Production is expected to recover in FY27-28 via King of the Hills and Sugar Zone.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 3.50 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 3.70 cents.
