Copper prices surged back over US$4.00/lb and are up ~6% in March alone. MAC offers strong leverage to rising copper prices, with a 10% rise in copper driving ~41-47% increases in our CY25-CY30 earnings for MAC and a 16% lift in valuation. Incorporating the stronger spot price drives a 4% lift in our price target to A$22.80 and we reiterate our BUY rating. Importantly, stronger copper prices should enable MAC to accelerate is balance sheet deleveraging. We note that our valuation for MAC at a flat US$4.50/lb copper price into perpetuity rises to ~A$26.80/share.
