Price Performance

Growth Potential

  • We expect the gold price to remain elevated.
  • NST is a pure play on the gold price with attractive gold assets.
  • Attractive production growth profile – the KCGM expansion alone is expected to deliver 27mtpa by FY29.
  • Strong management team with significant mining expertise.
  • Strong balance sheet – ample liquidity.
  • NST has a good track record of shareholder return. $300m on-market share buyback is still active and given the strong balance sheet and highly cash generative assets, we see potential for future share buybacks. 


Key Risks

  • Further deterioration in global macroeconomic conditions.
  • Inflation and cost pressures impact margins.
  • Production expansion plans fall short of market and management expectations/guidance – Hemi remains an execution risk.
  • Deterioration in global gold supply & demand equation.
  • Deterioration in gold prices.
  • Production issues, delay or unscheduled shutdown of mines (including weather related impacts).
  • Adverse movements in AUD/USD.
