The company now expects FY26 underlying EBIT to be between AU$420 million and AU$435 million, compared with its previous guidance range of AU$350 million to AU$400 million.Management attributed the improved outlook to ongoing strength in non-ferrous markets, improving ferrous trading conditions and robust performances across its North American metals operations. Sims Lifecycle Services also continued to benefit from structural growth trends linked to the global data-centre ecosystem. The upgraded outlook prompted a positive market reaction, helping lift the stock more than 5%.Gold Producers Extend GainsRegis Resources and Emerald Resources also recorded solid advances as investors maintained exposure to gold-related stocks.
