South32 Ltd (LSE:S32) Share Price

Company Profile

Business description
South32 was born of the demerger of noncore assets from BHP in 2015. Its operations include alumina businesses in Australia and Brazil, aluminum in Brazil, South Africa, and Mozambique, and manganese businesses in Australia and South Africa. It sold New South Wales metallurgical coal in August 2024, the Cerro Matoso nickel mine in Colombia in December 2025, and has also agreed to sell its alumina and most of its aluminum assets. It also owns the Cannington silver/lead/zinc mine in Queensland. Its Australian manganese operations deliver high returns, but have a relatively short reserve life. It acquired Arizona Mining, which brings with it the high-grade and likely low-cost Taylor project in the US, and also entered copper in 2022 by buying a 45% stake in the Sierra Gorda mine in Chile.

Near-term pain, long-term potential.

Dan Baker | 22 October 2026

We see the company’s momentum in its core advertising business, as well as adoption of Muse, as early signals that the firm’s AI playbook is working.

Malik Ahmed Khan, CFA | 22 October 2026

Our increased valuation comes from higher full self-driving adoption assumptions and a lower near- and medium-term capital expenditures forecast.

Seth Goldstein, CFA | 22 October 2026
