  • Merafe flagged a cautiously optimistic outlook for the rest of 2026 as lower negotiated electricity tariffs reduce smelter operating risk.
  • Improved Eskom power supply is expected to support a rebound in production that was previously curtailed.
  • Margins may stay under pressure on higher Chinese ferrochrome supply, risking oversupply unless global stainless steel demand strengthens.
  • Profitability in H2 hinges on smelter throughput, ferrochrome pricing trends, chrome ore price stability.
  • H1 profit rose to R 512 million on revenue of R 3.43 billion, supported by higher chrome ore sales volumes.
