Morgans initiates coverage of Stanmore Resources with an Add rating and $3.80 target price. The recent announcement to acquire BHP Group’s ((BHP)) 80% interest in BHP Mitsui Coal lifts the company’s metallurgical coal production to number seven globally.
The broker suggests the transaction transforms Stanmore Resources’ operating scale and risk profile and there is now dividend upside potential. It’s thought a smooth integration of BHP Mitsui Coal will pave the way for more coal sector acquisitions.
Sector: Energy.
