BCI reported its first quarter (Q1 FY 2026) results on 23 October.
Commenting on those results, which saw the ASX All Ords share close up 2.7% on the day, BCI Minerals managing director David Boshoff said, "During the September quarter, we delivered strong operational performance and solid construction momentum at Mardie, with all ponds approaching capacity."
He added, "We embedded new technology on site, providing valuable data in real time, allowing us to monitor operations and better plan for the future."
Euroz Hartleys was also pleased with the results.
The wealth manager noted, "Salt development construction now 74% complete, with total expenditure of $1,221m to date. On track for First Salt on Ship (FSOS) milestone end-CY26."
On the cost front, Euroz Hartleys said, "Importantly BCI outlines remaining estimated construction cost at $441 million, covered comfortably by available funding of $676 million."
And Euroz Hartleys expects BCI will be able to achieve higher future prices for its salt exports.
According to the wealth manager:
Salt import pricing (CFR: US$50/t to Asia ex-China, US$48/t to China) through the Jun'Q remained robust, although slight decrease QoQ (~-5%) due to lower freight costs (to Indonesia from Australia) and lower quality product (to China from India) impacting average prices. We assume LT US$60/t CFR with US$11.2/t freight costs
Connecting the dots, Euroz Hartleys said, "BCI is at an attractive entry point just over 12 months out from first salt sales, with the major development executing nicely, on track of timing schedule and budget."
The wealth manager has a price target of 47 cents on the ASX All Ords share. That's more than 22% above Thursday's closing price.
