Kazatomprom: soft metal still rocks (stays BUY)
We maintain our BUY on Kazatomprom (KAP), with an updated price target (PT) of USD 63.8 (from USD 61.6), offering upside of 18.1%. Uranium prices have fallen from triple figures, but remain close to USD 70/lb, a level that we consider sustainable. Supply has increased, but is still below demand. We expect production in 2026E to remain below capacity, but 2027E and 2028E should bring big increases in volumes. KAP is experiencing inflationary pressures on costs, but should moderate, with higher volumes and cheaper acid. With its core business investment needs small, KAP could invest overseas or in other parts of the value chain. It has a balance sheet capable of significantly higher investments, but these may reduce its ability to pay dividends. Dividends are based on the free cash flow and we see a moderate rise in 2025E and bigger increases from 2027E-onwards. We see KAP trading at P/Es of 9.9x for 2025E and 8.0x for 2027E, on our forecasts.
