Bulls say
Nexa Resources SA has demonstrated significant operational improvements, particularly at the Aripuanã zinc mine, which has lifted a long-standing overhang in its performance. The company reported a notable reduction in net debt to trailing twelve months EBITDA ratio at 2.2x, indicating enhanced financial stability, alongside forecasts predicting increasing free cash flows from $8 million in 2025 to $248 million in 2027. Furthermore, the smelting segment remains a key revenue driver, with cash costs reported at just $0.11/lb, showcasing effective cost management and operational efficiency.
Bears say
Nexa Resources SA's financial position is under pressure, as indicated by the worsening net debt to trailing twelve months (T12) EBITDA ratio, which has deteriorated to 2.3x. Additionally, the company's adjusted earnings per share (EPS) loss of ($0.03) significantly underperformed both internal estimates and market consensus, highlighting operational inefficiencies. Furthermore, the revised EBITDA estimates for 2025 through 2027 show a downward adjustment, averaging a 4% annual decrease, compounded by a challenging forecast for zinc prices and concerns regarding debt leverage and free cash flow.
