The world’s largest platinum producer, located in South Africa, Valterra Platinum, recently reported a surge in revenue for the first half of the year.

On Wednesday, the group revealed that its profit margins increased significantly between January and June 2026, driven by stronger prices within the platinum group as well as elevated production and sales volumes.

The company, which is currently listed as the world's top ​platinum producer ​by value, disclosed that its ‌headline ⁠earnings per share stood at 82.02 rand in the period under review, which ended June 30, ​up 1,634% from 4.73 rand in the previous period, as seen on Reuters.
