Ord Minnett

Buy

$4.30

53.57%

Ord Minnett has broadly reduced its commodity price forecasts, with the exception of gold and neodymium-praseodymium.

The broker cites growing concerns over weakening Chinese steel demand and the potential global trade and economic impacts stemming from proposed US tariffs.

The broker's 2025 iron ore price forecast falls by -3%, while metallurgical coal and thermal coal price estimates fall by -18% and -17%, respectively.

On a sector level, Ord Minnett prefers base metal producers over the bulk miners, noting limited appeal among the lithium and coal producers.

Rio Tinto is preferred over over BHP Group among the large diversified miners, while South32, Capstone Copper, and MAC Copper are the analyst's top picks for base metals exposure.

For South32, the target falls to $4.30 from $4.50 and the Buy rating is unchanged.

Sell

$2.50

-10.71%

South32's 1H25 result broadly beat Canaccord Genuity's estimates but was in line with consensus. The interim dividend of US3.4c is a positive signal for investors but not sustainable in the broker's view.

The broker believes the combination of alumina/aluminium trading at cyclical highs and the high capex spending program over the next few years, is likely to crimp the company's ability to maintain this level of payout.

The company's high net debt despite posting higher-than-expected earnings is a potential risk, the broker adds. Sell rating and $2.50 target maintained.

FORECAST
Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 6.54 cents and EPS of 14.21 cents.
Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 5.42 cents and EPS of 12.04 cents.
