Champion Iron's iron ore concentrate train load-out facility at Bloom Lake has experienced a breakdown, Bell Potter highlights, expected to affect concentrate sales.

Management anticipates normal shipping will restart in a few days. The breakdown occurred on December 3 and is expected to impact shipments for two weeks or approximately 15% of the current quarter.

In the lead-up to Chinese New Year, the broker sees seasonal upside potential for iron ore prices. The company is expected to benefit from maturing higher-grade concentrate markets.

Bell Potter lowers earnings by -10% for FY25, with no change to FY26 estimates.

Target price remains at $7.10, with the Buy rating unchanged.

FORECAST
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 21.70 cents and EPS of 43.50 cents.
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 23.60 cents and EPS of 69.20 cents.

$7.50

29.53%

Champion Iron's  2Q25 results aligned with Goldman Sachs’ EBITDA estimate of CA$75m but fell short of consensus due to weaker iron ore premiums and provisional pricing adjustments.

The broker highlights the company's long-term potential, noting a 15Mtpa nameplate at Bloom Lake, with plans to expand to 18Mtpa, and high-grade Direct Reduced Pellet Feed production expected by 2H25.

Goldman Sachs believes the upcoming Kami project is a key growth driver for Champion Iron, potentially adding 9Mtpa of high-grade iron ore.

Goldman Sachs maintains a Buy rating with a target price of $7.50, supported by valuation and growth prospects at the Bloom Lake mine, the analyst states.

FORECAST
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 33.18 cents and EPS of 34.28 cents.
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 22.12 cents and EPS of 54.19 cents.
