Bell Potter has not updated their SC6 price of $1200/MT in its financial model, but even at $1200, PLS profit is projected to fall to $123m in FY25 from $318m.

...and still trading at $8.5B valuation gives a 2025 PE multiple of 69x, and that's even assuming SC price gets back to $1200!

...at $800/MT, PLS would be operating at a loss!
