Catalyst Metals Limited ( (AU:CYL) ) has issued an announcement.

Catalyst Metals reported a record half-year financial result to 31 December 2025, with revenue from Plutonic rising 50% to A$267m, EBITDA nearly doubling to A$145m, and net profit after tax increasing to A$60m despite a significant one-off legal settlement cost. Higher realised gold prices of A$5,855 per ounce and strong operating performance underpinned the result, while the company maintained A$338m in liquidity and reinvested A$134m of operating cash flow into expanding the Plutonic Belt through mine development, reserve growth and infrastructure upgrades.

The half-year marked a transition from stabilising the Plutonic operations to executing a capital investment phase aimed at lifting annual gold production from about 100,000 ounces to around 200,000 ounces and extending mine life to 10 years. Ongoing development of the Trident and K2 mines, exploration to grow reserves on the Plutonic Belt to 1.5Moz of ore reserves and 4.2Moz of resources, and de-risking work at Plutonic Main position Catalyst for long-term organic growth, though all-in sustaining costs rose to A$2,821 per ounce, reflecting the intensity of current investment and development activity.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:CYL) stock is a Hold with a A$8.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Catalyst Metals Limited stock, see the AU:CYL Stock Forecast page.
