Nexa Resources SA ( (NEXA) ) has shared an update.
On February 11, 2026, Nexa Resources reported drilling and assay results for the second half and full year 2025, highlighting positive exploration outcomes across its key Latin American operations. The company completed 274,889 meters of drilling in 2025, including 69,807 meters of exploration and 205,082 meters of infill work, which strengthened geological confidence and supported mineral resource replenishment.
High‑grade intercepts were reported at multiple targets, including Cerro Lindo’s Orebody 8C, the Massaranduba target at Aripuanã, Conexão Sucuri Norte at Vazante and the Integración target at El Porvenir, where thick polymetallic zones with strong silver grades were confirmed. These results are expected to extend mine lives, enhance medium‑term production optionality and reinforce Nexa’s brownfield growth pipeline, with substantial additional drilling planned in Peru and Brazil during 2026 to further expand and upgrade resources.
The most recent analyst rating on (NEXA) stock is a Sell with a $5.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Nexa Resources SA stock, see the NEXA Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on NEXA Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, NEXA is a Neutral.
Overall score reflects mixed financial performance (weak net profitability and high leverage, partly offset by improving cash flow), a technically strong but overbought setup (high RSI/Stoch), and weak earnings-based valuation (negative P/E). The latest earnings call was a positive offset, citing improving production, profitability, free cash flow, and modest deleveraging, though operational stability and cost pressures remain key risks.
