Nexa Resources SA ( (NEXA) ) just unveiled an announcement.
On January 21, 2026, Nexa Resources announced that it has temporarily suspended production at its Atacocha San Gerardo open-pit mine in Peru after the Joraoniyoc community illegally blocked road access to the site as part of protest activities. While the company reported no material impact on Atacocha’s production to date and noted that the mine’s output of roughly 0.2kt of zinc per week represents less than 3% of Nexa’s total zinc production, operations have been reduced to critical maintenance with a minimum workforce as management engages in dialogue with local communities and authorities to seek a peaceful resolution, underscoring both the limited immediate impact on group production and the ongoing social and operational risks associated with community relations in its host regions.
The most recent analyst rating on (NEXA) stock is a Hold with a $13.50 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.
Overall score reflects mixed financial performance (weak net profitability and high leverage, partly offset by improving cash flow), a technically strong but overbought setup (high RSI/Stoch), and weak earnings-based valuation (negative P/E). The latest earnings call was a positive offset, citing improving production, profitability, free cash flow, and modest deleveraging, though operational stability and cost pressures remain key risks.
