Interim results shine on strong metal prices

Higher metal prices saw CAML achieve a 52% and 131% increase in EBITDA and FCF respectively in the first half of 2021, facilitating an attractive 8p interim dividend declaration (up 2p on H1 2020). The H1 results are tracking our full-year estimates, which if achieved would put CAML on an undemanding EV/EBITDA multiple of just 4x and see the shares yield over 8% at current market price. Given average copper, zinc and lead prices across H2 to date are around 10% higher than our pricing assumption

Food prices become a concern as gas prices soar

Yara and CF Industries, two leading ammonia producers, have announced they are to curtail quite a high share of their European production. This comes after the soaring gas prices, which can not be passed on to the farmers. The lower European production comes with the impact of Hurricane Ida. The heavy winds had caused severe damage and sudden shutdowns in the Mexican Gulf region, so the global supply balance has been hit. It looks to us as if this is becoming another perfect storm.
