Overweight

$3.90

11.75%

Morgan Stanley observes road blockages from civil unrest have largely ceased, allowing South32 to progress with the transportation of alumina to Mozal Aluminium from the port.

The company expects alumina stocks to be replenished over the next few days. However, the election of Mozambique's Constitutional Council on December 23 could lead to further unrest, the broker notes.

Morgan Stanley highlights an estimated 8% of earnings will be generated from Mozal in FY25. The smelter directly employs around 2,000 people and indirectly supports approximately 20,000.

Overweight. Target $3.90. Industry View: Attractive.

FORECAST
Morgan Stanley forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 19.16 cents and EPS of 48.67 cents.
Morgan Stanley forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 17.49 cents and EPS of 44.11 cents.

South32 conducted an investor tour of the 45%-owned Sierra Gorda copper mine in Chile.

Goldman Sachs was "impressed" by the operation, which came across as highly efficient at around a 78% recovery rate, given the low copper grade. The analyst highlights the mine has lower costs and is more efficient than BHP Group's ((BHP)) Spence mine.

The company increased forecast copper production to circa 156kt in FY25 and circa 164kt in FY26 from improved grades, recoveries, and mill throughput.

Goldman Sachs lifts EPS forecasts by 3% for FY25/FY26.

Target price unchanged at $3.90 with a Buy rating.

FORECAST
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 9.12 cents and EPS of 31.94 cents.
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 19.77 cents and EPS of 48.67 cents.
