Morgan Stanley believes the risk to power at the Mozal smelter is well flagged but remains an ongoing earnings risk for South32.

The analyst expects Mozal to produce 370kt of aluminium for FY26 and generate earnings (EBITDA) of US$238m. If a power deal is not reached, the impact to 4Q26 earnings would be estimated at around -US$67m to the group FY26 earnings (EBITDA) forecast of US$2.7bn.

A shutdown for FY27 would result in an estimated -US$210m earnings impact or some circa -7% of Morgan Stanley's earnings (EBITDA) forecast of around US$3bn.

The smelter represents around 4% of Mozambique's GDP and employs some 1,150 full-time staff with 21,000 indirect jobs and around 1,200 contractors, and thus is considered important to the country, the broker explains.

Overweight rating and no change to target price at $3.05. Industry view: In-Line.

FORECAST
Morgan Stanley forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 10.82 cents and EPS of 24.73 cents.
Morgan Stanley forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 12.37 cents and EPS of 43.28 cents.

Hold

$2.60

-12.46%

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 12.06 cents.
