Nickel Industries Ltd (NIC) 89.5c

We haven’t been a fan of NIC over the years, the Indonesian producer of primarily pig iron (used to make steel), but its share price is turning the corner nicely. A great example that these lesser followed metal stocks are attracting some buying. While the pig iron price didn’t quite attract the lofty prices that battery-grade nickel saw, it is now benefitting from the tighter controls on Russian supply while China looks set to see higher demand.

Nickel Industries Ltd (NIC) $1.03

NIC has fallen -28% year-to-date even while the commodity on which its business focuses has risen, albeit in an extremely volatile fashion. However, the stock has bounced almost 50% from its October low significantly reducing the risk/reward appeal in the process. Nickel is a very widely used industrial metal that should benefit from the transition to renewables as it’s used in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

NIC has endured a very tough decline since  Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine back in March, the stocks fallen almost 60% during this time and while on the surface it looks good value trading on an Est P/E for 12/22 of 7.1x and being expected to yield in excess of 5% over the next 12-months its just in the too hard basket for us until further notice.

Nickel Industries Ltd (NIC) $1.145

NIC rallied over +6% yesterday making it the markets 5th best performer but like LKE it’s been a rocky road for NIC correcting 50% from its March high after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine sent nickel prices soaring. There’s a lot going on with this company but its unchanged in almost 2-years while many other players in the space have rallied strongly, our view is to simply stay with the strength.

Nickel Mines Ltd (NIC) $1.24

Nickel business NIC has shown that just because a commodity in which a business operates rallies strongly doesn’t mean the stock is going to follow suit – in the case of NIC one of its largest shareholders was caught short when nickel basically doubled in 1-day last month leading to speculation of imminent forced selling.  The drop in the share price has since led to the company cancelling...
