Sims Gains New Bull as Electronics Recycling Gathers Pace -- Market Talk

Dow Jones02-10 12:22

0422 GMT - UBS reckons it's time to buy scrap-metals merchant Sims, in big part because of the strong outlook for the company's electronics recycling arm. It reckons Sims Lifecycle Services, or SLS, is "a thesis changer" for the Australian stock. It forecasts SLS Ebit of A$112 million in FY 2026, well above consensus of A$91 million and FY 2025's A$33 million. It expects that to rise to A$133 million in FY 2027 and A$146 million in FY 2028. "Additionally, the metals business looks set for a strong start to 2026 as nonferrous prices rise sharply due to ongoing supply constraints, and ferrous scrap prices reach the highest levels in nearly a year." UBS upgrades Sims to buy from neutral. It raises its target by 46% to A$25.00/share. Sims is up 3.0% at A$21.23. (rhiannon.hoyle@wsj.com; @RhiannonHoyle)
