Neutral

$5.60

34.29%

UBS remains positive on lithium demand, with global battery installations up 31% y/y and BESS up 127% in June, while low inventories and a measured supply response are keeping markets tight.

However, the broker cuts 2027-29 spodumene price forecasts by -43%, -23% and -5%, respectively, expecting a flatter price cycle just as the sector enters another major capex phase.

Near-term free cash flow forecasts are consequently reduced by as much as -50%, leaving UBS more cautious on lithium equities following their recent rally despite the still-healthy demand outlook.

PLS Group remains Neutral rated with an unchanged target of $5.60. EPS forecasts are cut by -38% for FY27 and -42% for FY28.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 10.00 cents and EPS of 46.00 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY28 dividend of 8.00 cents and EPS of 46.00 cents.

Underweight

$3.10

-25.66%

Jarden maintains its Underweight recommendation for PLS Group with an unchanged target price of $3.10 following FY26 earnings featuring underlying EBITDA of $1.14bn, which came in slightly below the broker's estimates but in line with consensus.

Underlying NPAT reached $564m, while reported NPAT tallied $526m.

The company took advantage of stronger lithium prices to reinvest in the business, add cash to the balance sheet with $2.3bn in cash holdings, and allocate approximately $161m to shareholder returns via a final dividend of $0.05 per share.

The broker's commentary indicates that cash flow generation was stronger than expected, assisted by a $74m tax refund and a working capital release.

The report highlights that management's bullish commentary points to resilient demand and positions the company to internally fund the expected P2,000 final investment decision.
