Shares don’t get much more volatile than Ukrainian iron ore miner Ferrexpo (FXPO) which has seen its share price fluctuating up and down by large amounts on a regular basis as various pieces of news have come.
Iron ore producer Ferrexpo (FXPO) is still very much a play on there ultimately being some sort of peace deal between the Ukraine and Russia, and ideally as soon as possible.
Ferrexpo (FXPO) certainly isn’t for the feint-hearted as its iron ore mining operations are based in the Ukraine, and it is definitely a big gamble, but it is one that I’m willing to take given the upside.
Ferrexpo (FXPO) has announced it has received a Ukraine appeal court judgement “which states that the share purchase agreement concluded in 2002 is invalid and the 40.19% stake in FPM shall be transferred to the claimants”. So what does this mean?
Ferrexpo (FXPO) has announced that, despite constraints particularly logistically, the first half of 2022 still saw net cash increased by $54.7 million to $171.7 million on 4.4 million tonnes of iron ore pellets sold. What’s the outlook from a 143.2p offer price, £843 million market cap?
Ferrexpo (FXPO) emphasises that it produces high grade iron ore pellets, which are a premium product for the global steel industry and enable reduced carbon emissions and increased productivity for steelmakers. That sounds good, but it does so from Ukraine. That is why it has seen a share price fall from approaching 500p last summer, but we can now see reasons why the shares could bounce sharply.
Iron ore pellets producer Ferrexpo (FXPO) has issued a production report noting sales in the first half of 2022 of 4.4 million tonnes, representing a year on year decrease of 21%, with logistics availability “the largest constraint” on the business but that it is “in advanced discussions with a number of logistics providers to resume access to seaborne markets via neighbouring countries”.
