Whitehaven Bear Sees Limited Upside to Met Coal Prices -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Jan 30

0047 GMT - Whitehaven Coal's bears at UBS see limited upside to prices of metallurgical coal, used in steelmaking. UBS expects prices to average US$235/ton this year. They will be underpinned by weather-related disruptions in Australia, heightened supply concerns in China, and robust demand from India and China. It assumes prices peak at around US$250/ton, close to current spot levels. They should then gradually decline as weather-related disruptions subside. "With spot approximately at peak UBS estimates, we see limited upside price catalysts outside of additional market-tightening events," analyst Lachlan Shaw says. UBS retains a sell call on Whitehaven, citing an enterprise value-to-Ebitda multiple that is ahead of international competitors. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
