Outperform

$6.10

38.64%

Champion Iron reported FY25 result with revenue and earnings (EBITDA) in line with Macquarie's expectations. EPS was slightly below estimate due to higher depreciation and net interest charges.

The analyst highlights investing cash flow came in above operating cash flow, and free cash flow was -CAD312m, some -CAD50m lower than consensus. At the end of March, the company had cash of CAD117m with debt of CAD707m.

A final dividend per share of CA1c was above forecast due to a higher payout ratio and 11% in excess of consensus.

Macquarie tweaks EPS estimates and retains an Outperform rating and $6.10 target price.

FORECAST
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 15.48 cents and EPS of 63.02 cents.
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 15.48 cents and EPS of 38.81 cents.

Buy

$6.63

50.68%

Champion Iron's FY25 results offered no surprises to Jarden, excluding the dividend of CA10c per share, which exceeded the broker's estimate of no dividend and consensus at CA7c per share.

The analyst believes the board's dividend decision reflects lower future growth in capex and the unwind of working capital related to the stockpiled concentrate.

The company's concentrate inventory is expected to unwind the 2.6wmt balance by mid-2026, which should release revenues of CA$410m at the average price of US$112/t FOB, or some CA$200m in after-tax cash flow.

Buy rating unchanged. Target slips to $6.63 from $6.91.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 EPS of 49.09 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY27 EPS of 38.15 cents.
