0056 GMT - Whitehaven Coal's sales guidance for its recently acquired Blackwater and Daunia metallurgical coal mines cheers Ord Minnett. Whitehaven says it expects coal sales from the operations, bought from BHP and Mitsubishi, to total 3.5 million-4.0 million tons in FY 2024. In a note, analyst Tim Elder says that is 12% higher than he had forecast. "And, while this appears slightly softer than consensus (-4% at the midpoint), it significantly de-risks production expectations for the assets," says Ord Minnett, which rates Whitehaven a buy.
