Interestingly, over 80% of analysts who follow S32 have the miner as a buy, outstripping BHP and RIO following its significant pullback from its highs in 2022 and 2023. This is a recovery story in the mining space after its commodity mix of alumina, aluminium, coal, manganese, nickel, etc., has endured a few years to forget; we believe it is now offering a great risk/reward opportunity, having declined around 40% over the last year, while also offloading their troublesome Illawarra Coal operation for a great price, incorporating a large upfront cash payment.
