Nexa Resources SA ( (NEXA) ) has provided an announcement.
On February 6, 2026, Nexa Resources reported preliminary operational results for the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2025, confirming that it met its 2025 consolidated production, sales and cost guidance and outlining its production, sales, cost and capex outlook for 2026–2028. Zinc production reached 316kt, copper 33kt, lead 63kt and silver 11 million ounces, all within guidance ranges, with particularly strong performance at Cajamarquilla, which delivered record annual zinc metal output and helped keep total metal sales at 567kt near the midpoint of guidance despite operational instability in Brazilian smelters and lower treatment charges. Nexa also kept total expenditures below guidance and significantly outperformed its mining C1 cash cost target, ending roughly 48% below the guided range due to efficiency gains, disciplined cost management and higher by‑product credits, while both mining run‑of‑mine costs and smelting conversion costs were contained within or below guided levels, underscoring improved operational efficiency and supporting the company’s strategic positioning as a cost‑competitive, diversified base‑metals and silver producer ahead of its detailed 2025 financial results release on February 26, 2026.
The most recent analyst rating on (NEXA) stock is a Hold with a $13.00 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.
