Morgans said:
S32 has agreed to sell its entire ali business for total consideration of US$5.6bn (US$4.1bn upfront), and transfer of US$1.2bn closure/rehab liabilities.
Our view on S32's aluminium sale is genuinely mixed. It leaves S32 a simpler and, in important respects, a better business, but also a smaller and less valuable one.
We reduce our valuation on S32's ali assets to in line with the agreed Alcoa deal… As a result we update our rating to HOLD (from Accumulate).

The Turaco Gold share price is 48 cents, up 6.7% today and up 4% over 12 months.
