[SMM PGM Flash: Valterra Platinum Releases Impressive Semi-Annual Report] South African PGM producer Valterra Platinum disclosed its H1 2026 performance, with revenue surging 93% YoY to 82 billion South African rand; core EPS soared 1,633% YoY, and EBITDA grew 404%. The company turned from a net debt position last year to net cash of 23.7 billion rand, and declared an interim dividend of 15 billion rand. The improved profitability mainly benefited from the recovery of PGM prices, higher refined output, and cost control.

Its CEO Craig Miller also provided an outlook: The AI industry will continue to create incremental PGM demand, with current AI-related annual PGM consumption around 200,000–400,000 ounces, and is expected to grow up to fivefold by 2030. Going forward, the company will partner with Johnson Matthey, Umicore, Pujing Chemical, and others to jointly expand new PGM industrial applications.
