SBSW - Sibanye Stillwater: Time To Test The Waters (Rating Upgrade)
2024-06-12 08:55:13 ET
Summary
- We have decided to upgrade Sibanye Stillwater Limited's stock on the basis of an enhanced operational and commodity pricing outlook.
- Upward-sloping PGM and Gold futures curves provide a reason to be positive about precious metals prices, especially considering gold's tail hedge properties.
- Sibanye's U.S. PGM production has improved after a series of externally-driven delays.
- South African operations might improve amid various project expansions and favorable election results.
- A non-dividend-paying Sibanye might discourage many. However, we think it is time to test the waters before a recovery is fully in motion.
