Downgrade to Sell from Hold

$17.04

-10.50%

Fortescue reported a fall in 1Q25 production of -12% on the previous quarter with shipments lower than Bell Potter's expectations and costs higher than forecast.

The analyst views the result as "soft", exemplifying some of the headwinds the company will face in FY25 as cost inflation remains stubborn and production declines despite a lift from Iron Bridge.

Bell Potter lowers EPS forecasts by -19% in FY25 and -10% in FY26 due to lower prices realised and higher cost assumptions.

The stock is downgraded to Sell from Hold with a reduced target price of $17.04 from $17.58.

FORECAST
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 84.00 cents and EPS of 114.65 cents.
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 80.00 cents and EPS of 117.67 cents.

Underweight

$16.81

-11.71%

Jarden observes the powerhouse of earnings for Fortescue, the direct shipping of ore from Pilbara is now experiencing a decline in reserves.

The broker points to a fall of -116mt in the year ending June 30, which accumulates to a decline in reserves annually of -24% since 2018.

The decline is not a concern in isolation, but the division does generate cash for development of the energy division.

Target price $16.81 with an Underweight rating remaining.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 EPS of 194.30 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 EPS of 103.79 cents.
