Iluka Deal Reflects Price Sensitivity of Nongovernment Buyers -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
06/24

0158 GMT - What appears to be softer-than-anticipated pricing in Iluka's rare-earths offtake deal "reflects the reality that individual end users are more price-sensitive than the U.S. government with taxpayer funds," says Ord Minnett. Based on details from Iluka, the broker estimates a neodymium-praseodymium floor price of roughly US$95/kilogram, below the US$110/kilogram in the U.S.'s deal with MP Materials. With construction of Iluka's refinery on track, economics are the focus. "Key catalysts include further offtake agreements to build meaningful volume coverage," the broker says, noting that most planned production is yet to be sold. It says the market will also be looking for improved visibility on realized prices. Ord Minnett maintains its 9.00 Australian dollar target and buy recommendation. Shares are up 4.3% at A$7.56.
