Jefferies lowers Teck Resources stock price target on QB production cut

Investing.com - Jefferies lowered its price target on Teck Resources Ltd (NYSE:TECK) to C$60.00 from C$65.00 on Thursday, while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock.

The price target reduction follows Teck’s second-quarter EBITDA of C$722 million, which missed Jefferies’ forecast of C$759 million and the company-compiled consensus of C$734 million, partly due to lower-than-expected copper sales volumes.

Teck Resources has reduced its QB production guidance for 2025 from the "low end" of the 230-270kt range to a new range of 210-230kt, representing another downward revision for the copper project.

The mining company also increased its cost guidance for the QB project from $1.80-2.15/lb to $2.25-2.45/lb, reflecting higher anticipated production costs.

Capital expenditure guidance for the QB project has also been raised, contributing to the downward pressure on Teck’s share price, according to Jefferies.
