SBSW stock price forecast is clouded by labor negotiations and operational risk at its South African mines. Despite short-term pressure, higher palladium prices may offset margin compression, giving medium-term upside potential. Among the hedge funds being tracked by Insider Monkey, Connecticut-based investment firm AQR Capital Management is a leading shareholder in Sibanye Stillwater Limited (NYSE:SBSW) with 5 million shares worth more than $31 million. As the metals and mining industry mitigates earnings pressure, it remains financially stable due to flexible shareholder returns and lower debt levels. On one end, due to increasing costs, gold has crossed the $2,000 per ounce mark, and metallurgical coal has surpassed $200 per ton, according to a report by S&P Global. Moreover, as North American producers of steel look to rationalize capacity, Chinese exports have seen an increase regardless of decreasing output. Current forecasts for SBSW stock price emphasize the role of ETF flows into precious metals, which can correlate directly with equity performance. RSI readings indicate the stock is not yet overbought.
