Sibanye Gold Stillwater Ltd . JSE: SSW

Background of Sibanye Stillwater
Sibanye Stillwater Ltd is South Africa’s largest gold producer and one of the 10 largest gold producers globally. The company is also the third largest producer of palladium and platinum. Following the proposed acquisition of Lonmin, the company will also further increase its production portfolio of palladium and platinum.
Sibanye Stillwater Ltd has a history dating back to 2012 after Gold Fields Limited unbundled its subsidiary, GFI Mining South Africa Proprietary Limited, which was then renamed Sibanye Gold Ltd.
As such, the company is a leading international precious metals mining company, with a diverse portfolio of platinum group metal operations in the United States and Southern Africa, gold operations and projects in South Africa, and copper, gold and PGM exploration properties in North and South America.
The company is also a globally leading recycler and processor of spent PGM catalytic converter materials.
Sibanye Stillwater Shares Growth Driver
Sibanye Stillwater Ltd’s high-value gold, platinum and PGM portfolio places it in a unique position to deliver sustained growth for its shareholders in the long-term.
PGMs are unique precious metals used in a wide variety of applications, including automobile catalysts, jewellery, fuel cells, hydrogen purification and electronics. Together, in 2018 autocatalytic converters and jewellery accounted for around 69% of platinum and palladium demand; autocatalysts alone accounted for 40% of platinum demand and 85% of palladium demand.
Added to this, gold continues to be a stable commodity which is used by central banks and others as a store of value, for trading and investment purposes, for jewellery and for various industrial purposes.
Sibanye Gold Stillwater Group Investor Tip
Sibanye Stillwater Ltd trades on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) where investors can buy shares under the stock symbol –SSW.
Data from the company’s 2018 financial analysis shows that its strategic commodity diversification into the PGM sector and the geographical benefits of the Stillwater acquisition clearly compensated for the operational challenges experienced at the SA gold operations, with Group adjusted EBITDA of R 676 million.
The company’s US PGM operations accounted for approximately 50% of Group adjusted EBITDA of R 8.69 million, primarily due to the increasing dollar palladium price and strong PGM operational performance.
As such, the company’s stable performance is set to deliver solid dividends and a strong share price for investors who choose to purchase shares today, securing a strong buy-in on the JSE in 2025 and in the future.
