Bell Potter maintains its Buy rating and $2.95 target price for Gold Road Resources despite the company reporting lower-than-expected 1Q25 production due to crusher maintenance and conveyor belt failures. The broker notes the company has maintained its FY25 gold production guidance of 325-355koz and believes the quarterly shortfall could be compensated later in the year through higher ore grades and processing plant upgrades.
Macquarie has reduced its 2025 EPS estimates for Gold Road Resources by 18% following the company's preliminary 1Q25 production update of 70-73koz, which fell 18% below the broker's estimate and 16% below consensus. The broker notes the production shortfall was attributed to maintenance issues with the primary crusher and the failure of two conveyor belts.
UBS has maintained its Buy rating for Gold Road Resources with a price target of $3.10, keeping its financial forecasts steady with Gruyere production guidance of 325-355koz in 2025 at an AISC of $2,400-2,600/oz. The broker notes management's optimistic growth outlook, with production projected to increase by 20% over the next three years.
Ord Minnett has downgraded Gold Road Resources to Hold from Buy with a target price of $2.50, noting that the company's FY24 underlying net profit was 6% below the broker's forecast, primarily due to higher depreciation and amortisation costs.
