The All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO) is sliding 0.15% today, but this ASX All Ords stock is falling further.

The Synlait Milk Ltd (ASX: SM1) share price is tumbling 22.96% at the time of writing, currently trading at $1.51 a share.

Let’s take a look at what this ASX All Ords stock reported to the market today.

What’s going on?

This ASX All Ords stock appears to be sliding today amid a guidance downgrade and news of lower milk prices.

Synlait expects to deliver an FY23 result of between a net loss of $5 million and a net profit after tax (NPAT) of $5 million.

This is down from the company’s previous prediction of profit between $15 to $25 million.

Looking ahead, Synlait is aiming to broaden its customer base, lower risk, lessen its cost base, and improve its balance sheet.

Explaining the guidance upgrade today, Synlait said:

Further Advanced Nutrition demand reductions, mostly from one of Synlait’s customers, which impact consumer-packaged infant formula volumes and base powder production, are expected to have an NPAT impact of approximately $16.5 million in FY23.

The remainder of the NPAT impact (approximately $3.5 million) is attributable to less material factors, including higher financing and supply chain costs.

Meanwhile, Synlait has also downgraded its outlook for the base milk price in the 2022/2023 season to $8.30kgMS. This is down from a previous forecast of $$8.50/kgMS

The company noted the “slower than expected” Chinese recovery and “negative shift in sentiment towards the broader global economy” have resulted in “falling commodity prices”.
