Company Overview

New Hope is an Australian coal producer with interests in the Bengalla and New Acland mines, associated infrastructure and agricultural assets. Earnings are sensitive to coal prices, production rates, freight and operating costs.

Latest Update

The May 2026 quarterly report showed group run-of-mine coal production of 4.26 million tonnes, 5.0% above the previous quarter. Saleable coal production increased 8.7% to 3.01 million tonnes, while sales reached 3.20 million tonnes. The next quarterly update is scheduled for 17 August, followed by full-year results and any final-dividend decision in September.

Financial and Share-Price Snapshot

The shares were priced at $5.19, giving New Hope a market capitalisation of around $4.38 billion and a one-year gain of 24.16%. Coal prices and distributions can have an outsized influence on the valuation, so production growth alone does not determine shareholder returns.

What May Be Watched Next

The market may watch fourth-quarter volumes, realised pricing, unit costs, cash holdings and the final dividend. Continued performance at New Acland and Bengalla will help frame FY27 expectations.

Key Risks

Risks include lower coal prices, weather disruption, rail or port constraints, regulatory changes, rehabilitation obligations and declining long-term demand for thermal coal.
