Know when to fold 'em: 3 ASX mining shares
Fortescue Ltd (ASX: FMG)
The Fortescue share price is currently $17.75, down 2.45%.
On The Bull this week, John Athanasiou from Red Leaf Securities has a sell rating on this ASX iron ore mining share.
Athanasiou said:
Fortescue is a major iron ore producer. Unlike diversified peers, FMG's heavy reliance on iron ore exposes it to volatility.
Its ambitious pivot to green hydrogen and renewables carries higher costs and execution risk, which, in our view, dilutes focus.
Rising operational costs and leadership turnover add to uncertainty. We believe the company's valuations are stretched.
Athanasiou says investors who prefer stable investments might want to consider selling their Fortescue shares at this point.
FMG's risk profile no longer justifies its price, making it a sell for investors prioritising stability and clearer growth paths.
Coronado Global Resources Inc (ASX: CRN)
Coronado Global Resources shares are down 11.3% to 20 cents at the time of writing.
Elio D'Amato from EnviroInvest has a sell rating on this ASX metallurgical coal mining share.
He said:
[Coronado Global Resources] shares fell from $1.31 on July 25, 2024, to close at 10 cents on June 2, 2025.
The shares have since rallied, perhaps in response to buoyant coal prices to trade at 19 cents on July 24, 2025.
But coal prices can be volatile as the transition to greener energy gathers momentum.
The analyst suggests some investors may want to cash in on the recent rally, given the outlook for coal.
In our view, the broader coal sector is up against tighter regulatory scrutiny, carbon pricing risk and potential investor outflows from thermal and metallurgical coal assets.
Liontown Resources Ltd (ASX: LTR)
ASX lithium mining share, Liontown Resources, is currently trading at 78 cents, down 5.24%.
After reviewing the miner's quarterly update released this week, Morgans maintained its sell rating on Liontown shares.
The broker lifted its 12-month share price target to 56 cents; however, this is still well below where the stock is trading now.
Morgans said:
4Q25 spodumene production fell -10% qoq, but the result was lifted by sales which were +4% qoq.
LTR finished FY25 with A$156m of cash (-10% qoq).
FY26 will be a transitional year with production and cost reductions to be 2H26 weighted as LTR ramps up underground mining.
We maintain our SELL rating with a A$0.56ps target price (previously A$0.50ps).
