Sibanye Stillwater ( (SBSW) ) has issued an announcement.

Sibanye-Stillwater announced a significant increase in headline earnings per share (HEPS) for the first half of 2025, with figures expected to be more than 100% higher than the same period in 2024. This improvement is attributed to increased profitability from South African gold operations and operational restructuring. However, the company also reported a basic loss per share due to impairment losses related to its US PGM operations and the Keliber lithium project, influenced by changes in US legislation and lower forecast lithium prices. Production updates revealed consistent output across most operations, though challenges in South African gold operations led to a 13% decline in production year-on-year. The company anticipates improved performance in the latter half of 2025, driven by higher PGM prices and resolved operational issues.

The most recent analyst rating on (SBSW) stock is a Hold with a $4.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sibanye Stillwater stock, see the SBSW Stock Forecast page.
