An update from Yancoal Australia ( (AU:YAL) ) is now available.
Yancoal Australia reported record 2025 coal output, with run-of-mine production up 7% and attributable saleable coal up 5%, helping reduce cash operating costs to $92 per tonne despite inflationary pressures. However, revenue fell 13% to $5.95 billion and profit after tax dropped 64% as realised coal prices slid 17%, compressing the operating EBITDA margin to 24%.
The miner ended the year with a robust $2.1 billion cash balance and returned A$769 million to shareholders in 2025, while declaring a fully franked final dividend that lifted the payout ratio to 55% in line with policy. For 2026, Yancoal is guiding slightly lower attributable saleable production, allowing for operational variability, modest cost inflation, and higher capital expenditure as it aims to sustain strong performance and preserve capacity to pursue growth opportunities.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:YAL) stock is a Buy with a A$6.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Yancoal Australia stock, see the AU:YAL Stock Forecast page.
