Ferrexpo warns of share suspension as $100m lifeline fundraise stalls

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

Ferrexpo plans an equity capital raise of at least $100 million to shore up working capital and support operations at a reduced level over the next 18 months, but acknowledges there is no certainty any funding solution will be executed. While the largest shareholder Fevamotinico has agreed to back the fundraise and participate on a pro rata basis up to $100 million, terms sought by other institutional investors cannot be met within the required timeframe, leaving the group’s near-term liquidity position under pressure.

Because completion of the planned bookbuild is needed for the 2025 accounts to be prepared on a going-concern basis, Ferrexpo will miss the 30 April 2026 deadline for publishing its audited results. As a result, the company expects its London-listed shares to be suspended from 1 May 2026 until an acceptable funding solution is secured and the 2025 annual report is finalized, creating significant uncertainty for shareholders over the timing of any resumption in trading.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:FXPO) stock is a Hold with a £0.30 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ferrexpo stock, see the GB:FXPO Stock Forecast page.
