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.
