Iluka Gets New Bull Ahead of Rare-Earths Offtake Deals -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
May 18

2311 GMT - Iluka Resources gets a new bull in Ord Minnett, as the buzz around rare earths starts to overshadow its minerals sands business. Analyst Matthew Hope stays cautious about A$417 million of net debt in the mineral sands business. Still, he expects any capital raise will be pushed out until the end of the year at the earliest. "In the meantime, Iluka should be announcing rare-earths oxide offtake deals from mid-year keeping the REO news flow active," Ord Minnett says. "There is risk that offtake prices may disappoint, so we are not overly aggressive." Ord Minnett upgrades Iluka to buy, from hold, and raises its price target by 13% to A$9.00/share. Iluka ended last week at A$7.90. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
