Nexa Resources SA ( (NEXA) ) has provided an update.
On May 13, 2026, Nexa Resources temporarily suspended operations at its Cajamarquilla zinc smelter in Peru after a fire incident earlier that day, which was contained following the activation of internal emergency teams. Personnel in affected areas were evacuated, and four people – one employee and three contractors – were injured but reported in stable condition, with no fatalities.
The fire damaged parts of the smelter’s infrastructure, but based on current information the company does not expect a material impact on its overall operations. Nexa is coordinating with relevant authorities, assessing the timeline to restart the Cajamarquilla plant, and investigating the cause of the incident, a process that will be closely watched by regulators, local communities and investors given the smelter’s strategic role in the regional zinc supply chain.
The most recent analyst rating on (NEXA) stock is a Hold with a $11.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Nexa Resources SA stock, see the NEXA Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on NEXA Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, NEXA is a Neutral.
The score is driven primarily by improving profitability and constructive earnings-call momentum, tempered by elevated leverage and uneven free cash flow conversion. Valuation is supportive due to a low P/E, while technicals are only moderately positive with mostly neutral momentum readings.
