Iluka Resources Limited (ILKAY) Stock Forecast and Price Target (2026)
Last updated July 2026
Short answer
There is no meaningful analyst consensus for Iluka Resources Limited (ILKAY): too few analysts publish estimates on it for an average target to mean anything. That is normal for smaller and newer companies and says nothing about the business. What is left is the setup, the drivers and the risks below, which you assess yourself rather than starting from someone else's model. Walnut is not an investment adviser.
Why ILKAY has no consensus price target
Sell-side coverage follows trading volume and banking relationships, so smaller companies, recent listings, and names outside the major indices often carry little or none. That is the situation with ILKAY. It says nothing about the quality of the business, but it does mean there is no informed average to anchor to, and that any single target you find elsewhere is one analyst's model rather than a consensus.
Every figure above except the ADR market capitalisation and the ADR yield is an Australian dollar number, because Iluka reports in Australian dollars and the ASX line ILU is the primary listing. Converting at roughly US$0.69 per A$1 puts FY2025 group revenue near US$0.70B, but that rate moves and the ADR price absorbs the change whether or not the underlying share does anything. The FY2025 statutory loss reflects one-off charges rather than the run rate of the mineral sands business, which still produced positive underlying EBITDA, and the Eneabba refinery is pre-revenue so no earnings multiple currently captures it.
What could move ILKAY from here
In short: the drivers cited most often are Eneabba refinery commissioning and the shift from capex to revenue, Zircon pricing and the pigment cycle, Balranald ramp-up and mine life renewal. The risk cited most often against it is iluka's mineral sands earnings are cyclical and price-taking, and the 2025 result showed how quickly a soft pigment market flows through to revenue, impairments and the dividend.
Both sides are worked through properly, with the high and low targets used as the bull and bear anchors, on the ILKAY is it a buy page. This page deliberately stops at the numbers.

FAQ
What is the price target for Iluka Resources Limited (ILKAY)?
+
There is no meaningful consensus price target for ILKAY, because too few analysts publish on it. That is common for smaller and newer companies. Where only one or two analysts cover a stock, an "average target" is really one person's model, so we do not print a number that would imply more agreement than exists. Check your broker's research tab for whatever individual coverage exists.
Why does ILKAY have no analyst forecast?
+
Sell-side coverage follows trading volume and banking relationships, so small caps, recent listings, and companies outside the major indices often carry little or none. A lack of coverage says nothing about the business itself. It does mean you are doing the analysis yourself rather than starting from someone else's model.
