The latest announcement is out from Ferrexpo ( (GB:FXPO) ).

Ferrexpo reported a significant decrease in production for the second quarter of 2025 due to the suspension of VAT refunds by Ukrainian tax authorities, which affected financial liquidity and forced operational downscaling. Despite these challenges, Ferrexpo adapted by shifting its production mix to meet strong demand from China for high-grade low-alumina iron ore concentrates, which constituted a significant portion of its production mix. The company has implemented cost-cutting measures, including reduced working hours and suspension of non-essential expenditures, to maintain financial viability amid lower iron ore prices and increased raw material costs.

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.
