Ord Minnett notes the sale of Cerro Matoso’s nickel operation in Colombia to CoreX Holdings, which will generate an impairment charge of -US$130m for South32’s FY25 accounts.

CoreX will assume the liabilities and operational control of Cerro Matoso, paying a nominal upfront price with the upside potential to US$80m in price-linked consideration, the analyst states, which relies on approval for the expansion projects at Cerro, Quebradas and Porvenir.

There are expected to be minimal impacts on earnings estimates, and Ord Minnett makes no change to forecasts.

No change to Buy rating and $4.10 target price.

Hold

$2.60

-16.40%

South32 is divesting the Cerro Matoso nickel mine in Colombia to CoreX for a nominal amount plus up to US$100m in contingent payments.

Canaccord Genuity sees the deal as neutral as the declining grade at the mine makes it uneconomical for the company at current nickel prices.

The broker believes the asset sale would increase its FY26 EBITDA estimate by 2%, with FY25 accounts reflecting -US$130m impairment.

Hold. Target unchanged at $2.60.

FORECAST
Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 8.22 cents and EPS of 19.47 cents.
Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 5.41 cents and EPS of 12.05 cents.
