Morgans expects the strength seen in copper prices in the last six months to carry into 2026, maintaining the bullish outlook as supply stays structurally tight. Disruptions, declining grades and project delays have resulted in lower supply and increasing competition for scarce future growth.

The broker lifted 2026 copper price forecast by 14% and 2027 by 8%. The preferred stock is Capstone Copper for pure copper exposure and South32 for diversified base/precious metals exposure.

In the case of South32, the broker updated forecast for higher copper prices plus mark-to-market moves in silver, aluminium and zinc/lead, alongside higher FY26 D&A to US$783m in line with guidance. The net effect is a -14% downgrade to FY26 EBITDA, with smaller revisions to FY27. 

Buy, with lift in valuation-based target price to $4.30 from $3.75

FORECAST
Morgans forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 11.91 cents and EPS of 28.93 cents.
Morgans forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 14.23 cents and EPS of 34.50 cents.
