Outperform

$6.70

14.14%

Champion Iron reported a mixed result for 3Q25, with production meeting expectations, shipments rising 5%, and stockpile increasing to 2.9mt, Macquarie observes.

A rise in working capital by CA$100m resulted in higher net debt of CA$215m. Earnings missed compared to the broker's expectations by -CA$10m.

Macquarie lowers EPS estimates by -16% and -2% for FY25/FY26, respectively.

Target price falls -11% to $6.70. Outperform rating retained as the analyst envisages improved production, lower costs, and higher realisations despite a challenging year operationally.

FORECAST
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 16.56 cents and EPS of 44.49 cents.
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 20.98 cents and EPS of 46.26 cents.

Buy

$7.60

29.47%

Goldman Sachs notes Champion Iron reported a slightly better than expected December quarter result with EBITDA of CA$88m vs its CA$75m forecast, though it was below consensus of CA$97m.

Net debt increased to CA$619m vs broker's CA$485m estimate, and net finance costs increased to CA$30.5m compared with CA$7.5m in the September quarter, mainly driven by a forex loss from the revaluation of USD-denominated net monetary liabilities.

The broker adjusted FY25 and FY26 EPS forecasts by -15% and 3% respectively after accounting for higher near-term net finance costs, lower higher-grade premiums near-term, and lower freight costs.

Buy rating retained and target price is $7.6.

FORECAST
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 33.12 cents and EPS of 34.22 cents.
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 22.08 cents and EPS of 72.86 cents.
