Evolution's Options Abound as Free Cash Flow Gushes

2305 GMT - Evolution Mining's strong balance sheet and cash flow give it plenty of options, says Ord Minnett. Evolution was able to maintain a net cash position of A$18 million in 4Q, despite the payment of its interim dividend and major capex. Analyst Paul Kaner suggests Evolution could generate A$1 billion of free cash flow in FY27. Ord Minnett assumes Evolution increases its dividend by 5% half on half, unless the company makes a splash on M&A. It also sees improved evidence that organic growth projects at its existing Cowal, Ernest Henry and Northparkes mines will be brought forward. Ord Minnett cuts its price target by 6.6%, to A$12.80/share, and retains an "accumulate" call. Evolution ended Wednesday at A$11.34. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
