Orica Limited (ASX: ORI)

Orica Limited (ASX: ORI) is an ASX listed mining and infrastructure solutions provider. It produces and supplies explosives, blasting systems, geotechnical monitoring, and mining chemicals.

Recommendation Rationale – SELL at AUD 15.70

  • Profit Booking: ORI’s stock price has crossed the ‘Resistance 1’ level given in the report on 1 November 2023, and presented a profit booking opportunity.
  • Technical Indicator: The momentum oscillator 14-Day RSI (~60.42) is close to the overbought zone; and thus, prices may face correction in the short term.
  • Financial Performance: For the financial year ended 30 September 2023, ORI reported a 12% jump in revenue at AUD 7,945.3mn, while its EBIT grew by 21% to AUD 698.1mn. Increased customer demand and earnings from advanced technology offerings supported earnings growth.
  • Outlook: The company expects FY24 EBIT to be higher than FY23 EBIT amid increased demand for its products and services and the adoption of digital technology offerings.
  • Key Risks: ORI’s earnings are highly sensitive to mining activities in the economy. A decline in commodity demand may result in lower mining activity, hence lower revenue for ORI.
