Fortescue Faces Pressure From China Iron Ore Talks as Net Debt Rises Sharply

📉 Fortescue reported iron ore shipments of 46.8 million tonnes in the quarter ended September 2026, down 6% year-on-year, mainly due to port maintenance.

🇨🇳 Sales reached only 42.9 million tonnes, 3.9 million tonnes below shipments. The company linked the gap to ongoing negotiations with China Mineral Resources Group (CMRG).

💰 Net debt rose from $0.9 billion to $2.8 billion, while cash stood at $3.2 billion. Higher inventories, dividend payments, and capital expenditure added pressure to cash flow.

📊 Fortescue shares fell as much as 4.2%, weighing on Australia's mining sector.

🔎 Fortescue maintained its FY2027 guidance, subject to the outcome of CMRG negotiations. Its full production report on October 22 will be a key milestone for assessing the outlook.
