The Mercury
|March 09, 2026
AFRICAN Rainbow Minerals' (ARM) headline earnings increased 10% for the six months to December 31, despite lower production volumes, a really strong turnaround in its platinum mining financial results and despite a loss from its coal mines.
Headline earnings came to R1,67 billion or R8,66 per share. An interim dividend of R5 per share was declared, up from R4,50 at the same time last year. A robust financial position was indicated by net cash rising to R8,46bn at December 31, versus R6,61bn at the end of June 2025.
ARM's share price nevertheless fell 3,3% to R221,37 on the JSE Friday morning, although the price remained over 46% higher than the R150,96 it traded at a year before.
Basic earnings increased by 69% to R2,35bn or R12,20 per share and includes attributable impairments of R19m after tax, versus R136m after tax at the same time a year before.
