The latest announcement is out from Metro Mining Limited ( (AU:MMI) ).

Metro Mining reported record calendar-year bauxite shipments of 6.2 million wet metric tonnes in 2025, up 9% year-on-year and within its revised guidance, supported by a strong fourth quarter despite weather-related shipping disruptions late in December. The company achieved a 16% quarter-on-quarter improvement in average CIF pricing and ended the year with A$57.5 million in unrestricted cash, though quarterly FOB revenue was tempered by legacy fixed-price contracts that will largely roll off by mid-2026, improving margins. Operations paused in early January 2026 with stockpiles in place for a planned restart in March, while the demobilisation and dry-docking of the Ikamba offshore floating terminal and a leadership restructure aim to enhance reliability, integrated supply-chain planning and cost efficiency as Metro seeks to consolidate its position as a leading low-cost supplier amid robust Chinese bauxite import demand but subdued alumina pricing.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:MMI) stock is a Buy with a A$0.15 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Metro Mining Limited stock, see the AU:MMI Stock Forecast page.
