Market Alert : Inflation and Oil Prices Climb as War Risks Escalate — The Road Ahead for the ASX 200

Sims Limited Signals Strong FY26 Outlook Amid Market Tailwinds

Sims Limited (ASX: SGM), a global leader in metal recycling and circular technology solutions, has issued a positive outlook for FY26, supported by favourable conditions in non-ferrous metals and memory chip markets. The company expects group underlying EBIT to range between AU$350 million and AU$400 million, reflecting resilient operational performance despite modest disruptions from geopolitical tensions, mainly impacting shipping and fuel costs.

Its Sims Lifecycle Services segment is expected to deliver EBIT between AU$165 million and AU$185 million, driven by strong DDR4 pricing and sustained hyperscaler demand. Meanwhile, the Metals business continues to benefit from elevated non-ferrous prices and improving US ferrous pricing, although Chinese steel exports remain a headwind for scrap markets.

Looking ahead, Sims anticipates a stronger second-half performance, particularly in North America and Southern Africa, while near-term ferrous price conditions in Australia and New Zealand remain subdued.
