Jubilee Metals Group (LSE:JLP) has announced plans to sell its South African Chrome and Platinum Group Metals (PGM) operations to One Chrome (Pty) Ltd for up to $90 million. This move marks a strategic pivot towards the copper sector, aiming to enhance investor recognition and improve valuation multiples. The proceeds from the sale are expected to exceed the company’s immediate capital requirements, creating opportunities for share buybacks or dividend distributions. This transaction enables Jubilee to reallocate resources to its growing Zambian copper business, which benefits from strong market conditions and growth prospects.
Jubilee’s outlook balances strong growth potential in its copper-focused strategy and operational improvements with financial pressures including narrowing profit margins and rising leverage. While recent corporate developments support the strategy, technical indicators advise caution in the short term.
