Mitsubishi UFJ Exits Substantial Holder Position in West African Resources

West African Resources Ltd ( (AU:WAF) ) has issued an update.

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. has lodged a notice stating it has ceased to be a substantial holder in West African Resources Limited as of mid-January 2026, following a series of transactions involving fully paid ordinary shares. The filing details numerous small purchases and a borrow decrease executed through entities controlled by First Sentier Group Limited and Morgan Stanley, reflecting an overall reshaping of Mitsubishi UFJ’s exposure to West African Resources below the substantial holding threshold; this change may slightly diffuse the company’s institutional ownership base but does not signal any disclosed shift in West African Resources’ underlying operations.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:WAF) stock is a Buy with a A$4.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on West African Resources Ltd stock, see the AU:WAF Stock Forecast page.
