Buy

$6.20

45.20%

Bell Potter updated realised prices for Champion Iron for the March quarter and made some adjustments to price estimates. No change to the iron ore price outlook of US$98/t, but the broker sees downside risk from the tariffs impact.

The March quarter iron ore prices averaged US$103/t versus the broker's US$100/t forecast. The analyst raised near-term costs and sustaining capital forecasts, and allowed for higher risks to growth projects due to medium-term commodity price uncertainty.

EBITDA forecasts for FY25 and FY26 cut by -10%. EPS forecast trimmed for FY25 by -19% and by -14% for FY26.

Buy maintained. Target drops to $6.20 from $7.10.

FORECAST
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 15.70 cents and EPS of 30.90 cents.
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 20.70 cents and EPS of 61.50 cents.

Upgrade to Buy from Overweight

$7.02

64.40%

Jarden is forecasting below-consensus production and sales for Champion Iron in the March quarter due to the planned semi-annual mill relining. The broker's costs forecast is also above consensus.

Additionally, the broker has pushed back the forecast for DRPF commissioning to the December quarter from September quarter, though it didn't cite a reason.

Target price drops to $7.02 from $7.34 due to revised timing for DRPF start and ramp-up, plus lower near-term sales price.

Rating upgraded to Buy from Overweight to factor in potential value in DRPF, including further pricing premiums and undeveloped resources.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 11.03 cents and EPS of 31.21 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 30.44 cents.
