Nickel Industries faces market volatility
Nickel Industries has experienced significant market volatility, with its share price dropping by 20% before rebounding by 5% in Sydney trading.
This fluctuation follows Indonesia's proposal to increase royalties on nickel ore sales, impacting companies like Nickel Industries operating in the region. The proposed changes could lead to an $8 million increase in royalties from the Tangaya mine for the fiscal year (FY) 2024.
Consequently, Jefferies has lowered its price target for Nickel Industries to $0.80 while maintaining a 'hold' rating.
Investment considerations and risks
The nickel industry has been challenged by low-cost producers backed by China, impacting local competition. Investors should monitor price action closely and wait for stability before making decisions. While there may be speculative opportunities, a cautious approach is suggested given current market and geopolitical conditions.
