Ferrexpo ( (GB:FXPO) ) has shared an update.

Ferrexpo has restarted production at its FPM operation in Ukraine after a temporary suspension in January, helped by improved availability and pricing of domestic and imported electricity. One pellet line is currently running, and the group is using its own rail wagons to resume exports of premium iron ore pellets to customers in Eastern and Central Europe, underscoring operational resilience amid ongoing infrastructure challenges.

The company also disclosed that its Swiss trading arm, Ferrexpo AG, holds about US$3 million at MBaer Merchant Bank, which has had its licence revoked and entered liquidation, though full recovery of the deposit is currently expected. While the MBaer situation is not seen as materially affecting Ukrainian operations, Ferrexpo warned that difficulties in securing alternative cross‑border banking arrangements for FAG could pose a risk of material negative consequences if not resolved.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:FXPO) stock is a Hold with a £78.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ferrexpo stock, see the GB:FXPO Stock Forecast page.
