An announcement from Ferrexpo ( (GB:FXPO) ) is now available.

Ferrexpo’s interim results for the first half of 2025 reveal significant challenges due to the suspension of VAT refunds by the Ukrainian tax authorities, leading to a 40% drop in production in the second quarter and necessitating cost-cutting measures such as furloughing 40% of its workforce. Despite these hurdles, Ferrexpo managed to increase its production of high-grade iron ore concentrate, driven by strong demand from China, and maintained operations amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, although financial metrics such as revenues and EBITDA saw substantial declines.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:FXPO) stock is a Hold with a £1.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ferrexpo stock, see the GB:FXPO Stock Forecast page.
