Northam Platinum HLDGS (JSE: NPH) share price, discussion & sentiment

R265.85 and the rand's doing all the work innit

come on nph push through this bliksem

Come on platinums, run already

R265.85 holding. Rand doing the work here.

Morning all, platinum getting hammered

Nph holding R265.85 but the rand strength is doing the heavy lifting on rand prices, underlying metal demand is still dodgy. Palladium autocatalyst recovery will take time, rhodium premium collapsed. Decent balance sheet but you're betting on a commodities recovery that hasn't really arrived yet, eish.

Morning all, NPH day today

Aai jinne, NPH sitting at R265.85 and the rand keeps eating our lunch. Palladium autocatalyst demand is weak globally but rhodium holding up okay. Long term the PGM story is solid if you can stomach the volatility and currency headwinds, otherwise this could grind lower for a bit.

Platinum prices still struggling and rand strength isn't helping either. NPH trades on what, 6x earnings at R265? Sibanye looking similar but at least they've got gold to lean on when pgm gets rough. Long-term view hasn't changed though, bushveld's not going anywhere.

Pulled the latest AFS, PGM spreads still tight but cash generation solid

platinum is getting hammered by macro headwinds, rand weakness actually helps us on revenue but costs are killing margins. northam's still got solid reserves in the bushveld and management isn't panicking, long-term view hasn't changed even if the spot price is under pressure. inflation very high locally so watch the wage negotiations coming up, that'll matter more than the daily price swings imo.

Good morning everyone, platinum looking rough

Platinum price has been weak, that's the real headwind. NPH needs spot to hold above 950 usd or the margins get squeezed hard. Look at the all-in sustaining costs, they're pushing higher with load-shedding and labour costs, so unless we see a contract win or platinum rallies, not much upside here near 265.

northam's sitting at r265.85 and the rand's been all over the place but fundamentals are solid, palladium up heaps and they're sitting on the best platinum ground in the world. long holders know this, short term noise doesn't matter when you're pulling metal out of the bushveld. good day to top up if you believe in the commodity cycle turning.

platinum margins still holding up vs anglogold, reckon we see r280 again

rand weakness helping but the real issue is if they can keep unit costs down at Eland. refineries running hot helps, palladium premium still there but that's not forever. at R265.85 you're getting paid for the metal in the ground more than the operational leverage, which feels backwards for a producer.

Aai jinne let's go NPH!!

algos taking it down on weak volume, classic raid before the real buyers show up

@jse_tttrading exactly right man, rand helping heaps when youre selling usd. noise is noise!!

R265.85 and the bleeding stops?
