JPM: Go overweight on this oversold ASX 300 mining share
As reported in The Australian today, JPMorgan has raised its rating on mining share Alumina Limited (ASX: AWC) to overweight with a 12-month share price target of $1.
The Alumina share price is 75 cents on Tuesday, up 0.27%. This means there's a 33% potential upside available on this mining share over the next year if JPMorgan is right.
As reported not so long ago, Alumina shares haven't traded below $1 in a decade. They slipped into cents territory back in September and are down 51% in the year to date.
This ASX 300 mining share is a bit different. The company is a holding structure with one asset — a 40% stake in the world's largest alumina and bauxite producer, Alcoa World Alumina and Chemicals (AWAC).
In August, Alumina revealed a net loss after tax of US$43 million for 1H FY23. This was a big drop from the US$168 million net profit after tax (NPAT) reported for 1H FY22.
The CEO Mike Ferraro discussed several challenges, including troubles with annual permit renewals.
