Integra Resources Corp. (ITRG) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.09 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.06 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.02 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +55.17%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $0.13 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.1, delivering a surprise of -23.08%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once.

Integra Resources, which belongs to the Zacks Mining – Miscellaneous industry, posted revenues of $55.15 million for the quarter ended December 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.89%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $30.4 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Integra Resources shares have lost about 31.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of 3.9%.

What's Next for Integra Resources?

While Integra Resources has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Integra Resources was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.12 on $83.8 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.54 on $295.77 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Mining – Miscellaneous is currently in the top 32% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Teck Resources Ltd (TECK), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026. The results are expected to be released on April 23.

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.49 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +16.7%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Teck Resources Ltd's revenues are expected to be $2.2 billion, up 37.9% from the year-ago quarter.

That shift lines up with recent research where several firms are resetting targets into the C$79 to C$82 range around the proposed Anglo American merger and updated Q4 numbers, while others flag valuation and regulatory risk as key pressure points. As you read on, you will see how these differing viewpoints shape the evolving story around Teck and what to watch as new updates arrive.

What Wall Street Has Been Saying 🐂 Bullish Takeaways

By Lisandra Paraguassu

March 18 (Reuters) – The U.S. embassy will sponsor an event in Sao Paulo between U.S. investors and Brazilian firms looking to produce critical minerals on Wednesday amid diplomatic tensions ‌that threaten to overshadow talks to firm up Western Hemisphere supply chains.

The U.S. has been scrambling ‌to get access to critical mineral reserves, especially rare earths, as the supply chain is currently dominated by Chinese players.

Citi and Anglo American ​are expected to be in attendance as well as representatives from some Brazilian state governments.

Last week, officials from Brasilia pulled out of the Brazil–U.S. Forum on Critical Minerals, which a U.S. embassy spokesperson called Washington's first event on critical minerals in Latin America this year.

Bilateral relations soured after a far-right U.S. official asked to visit ex-President Jair Bolsonaro ‌in prison, which Brasilia saw as an ⁠attempt to meddle in domestic affairs. Brazil barred the envoy's entrance, citing "falsification" of reasons for the visit.

Brazilian officials also vented frustration in private at the U.S. decision to sign ⁠on Wednesday an agreement on critical minerals with Goias state Governor Ronaldo Caiado, a political opponent to leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. The move was seen as an attempt to bypass the federal government, said one Brazilian official ​following ​the matter.

The perceived slight added to doubts about how long ​a recent thaw in U.S.-Brazil relations can last ‌ahead of what looks to be a tightly contested Brazilian election in October.

Last September, Lula met briefly at the U.N. General Assembly with U.S. President Donald Trump, who said the two had an instant rapport. But talk of Lula visiting the White House this month has petered out as attention in Washington shifted to a widening conflict in the Middle East.

Washington still hopes to sign a broader deal with Brasilia, the U.S. spokesperson said, ‌emphasizing a shared interest in partnering to develop Brazil's processing capacity.

Making ​strides in domestic processing is a priority for Lula, according to ​an official from Brazil's Ministry of Development, Industry ​and Foreign Trade, who requested anonymity to discuss ongoing talks.

U.S. officials see potential for ‌billions of dollars in investment and have identified ​more than 50 mining projects ​in Brazil that could bolster international efforts to diversify supply, easing China's dominance in critical minerals.

More than 100 companies and several state government representatives are expected to attend the event at the American Chamber ​of Commerce in Sao Paulo on ‌Wednesday, with local miners encouraged to pitch U.S. investors, one participant said.

BHP has named Brandon Craig as its new chief executive to replace Mike Henry at the helm of the world’s largest mining company.

Mr Craig, who is currently BHP’s Americas boss, will start on July 1, when Mr Henry steps down after six-and-a-half years in the role.

The Australian mining giant – which switched its main listing from London to Sydney in 2022, but retained a standard listing in the UK – said Mr Henry had helped the firm establish itself as the world’s biggest copper producer.

But he also presided over two failed attempts to buy rival Anglo American to further bolster its copper portfolio, last November walking away from a deal just 18 months after its previous ill-fated approach.

Former FTSE 100 company BHP had looked to muscle in on the agreed mega-merger between Anglo and Canadian rival Teck Resources before pulling out.

BHP announces new CEO.

BHP’s Board of Directors has appointed Brandon Craig to succeed Mike Henry from 1 July 2026.

— BHP (@bhp) March 17, 2026

Ross McEwan, BHP chairman and former NatWest chief executive, said Mr Craig’s “discipline and focus” would help him drive the group’s strategy forwards.

“We would like to recognise the outstanding contribution of Mike Henry to BHP as chief executive,” he added.

“Under his leadership, BHP has transformed into a safer and more productive company, financially strong and sharply focused on shareholder value and social value.”

Mr Craig has worked at BHP for more than 25 years, having joined in 1999.

Before his current role, he also previously led the group’s Western Australia iron ore business.

He will take on the chief executive role with a 1.9 million US dollar (£1.4 million) annual salary, plus benefits, with the potential for cash and share awards worth up to a maximum of 6.8 million dollars (£5.1 million) each year and possible long-term incentive share awards of up to 3.8 million dollars (£2.8 million) a year.

Mr Craig said: “It is an honour and privilege to succeed Mike Henry as chief of BHP.

“Thanks to his leadership, BHP is well positioned for the future.

“Mike will be remembered for his strategic decision-making, portfolio transformation, operational excellence and focus on safety and high-performance culture.”

Outgoing boss Mr Henry said: “It has been a privilege to serve as chief executive of BHP and to have worked with so many truly talented people. I am proud of what we have achieved together.”

Strengthening Technical Team as the Tahami Centre Copper-Gold Project Advances Toward Discovery Drilling

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 16, 2026) – Quimbaya Gold Inc. (CSE: QIM) (OTCQX: QIMGF) (FSE: K05) ("Quimbaya" or the "Company") announces the appointment of Dr. Mark Cruise, ICD.D, PGeo, as Technical Advisor to the Company, effective immediately.

Dr. Cruise is an exploration geologist and mining executive with more than 30 years of global experience across the base, precious metal, and critical mineral sectors. A former base metal specialist with Anglo American, he has held senior roles with publicly listed resource companies on the TSX-V, TSX, and NYSE, and participated in capital-raising activities totaling more than $1 billion. He has founded several successful exploration companies creating shareholder value from discovery through to production. Dr. Cruise holds a Doctorate in Geology from the University of Dublin, Trinity College, the PGeo designation from the Institute of Geologists of Ireland and the ICD.D designation from the Institute of Corporate Directors of Canada.

Alexandre P. Boivin, President & CEO commented:

"We are assembling a team built to take Tahami from discovery to development, and Mark is a critical part of that. Mark reviewed our geological data, looked at Tahami Centre, and made the decision to get involved. That tells you everything you need to know about what we have. We are preparing to compete with the best exploration stories in Colombia, and we are putting the people in place to do it."

Dr. Mark Cruise commented:

"Having worked with porphyry copper-gold systems across multiple jurisdictions, I find the geological characteristics documented at Tahami Centre to be compelling. Systematic exploration by the Quimbaya team has identified geology, alteration patterns, geochemistry, and vein and stockwork development consistent with porphyry copper-gold systems, within the Segovia district's well-documented gold-producing setting. Combined with an extensive land package, an active project pipeline and the high-grade vein targets at Tahami South, Quimbaya is a well-funded multi-target explorer with district-scale potential. I look forward to working with the team helping advance the projects to unlock stakeholder value".

In his role as Technical Advisor, Dr. Cruise will provide strategic guidance on exploration strategy and planning, resource development, and the communication of technical results to the investment community.

About Quimbaya

Quimbaya Gold is a Colombia-focused exploration company advancing a district-scale portfolio of more than 66,000 hectares across highly prospective mineral belts in Antioquia, Colombia. Its flagship Tahami Project, located in Segovia, is immediately adjacent to Colombia's most prolific high-grade gold mining camp, while the Berrio and Maitamac projects are strategically positioned in Puerto Berrío and Abejorral, respectively. Early-stage exploration has identified extensive mineralized vein systems and confirmed the presence of a large, multi-commodity porphyry system hosting gold, copper and molybdenum, highlighting the district-scale discovery potential of Quimbaya's land package. The Company is led by a proven technical and management team committed to disciplined exploration and responsible mining practices.

Wallbridge Mining Company (WM.TO) on Monday said that it has begun drilling at its Martiniere gold project located within the Wallbridge land package in northwestern Quebec.

In a statement the company noted that the 2026 program represents one of its more active exploration seasons in recent years, with approximately 25,000 metres of drilling planned across the Fenelon, Martiniere, Casault and Grasset properties. It added that 17,000 metres of that drilling is taking place at Martiniere planned in two phases.

The company said that phase 1 has commenced, which is building on "strong results" from the 2025 exploration program and is focused on continuing to expand and evaluate the scale and continuity of the broader gold system as it extends beyond the limits of the currently reported mineral resource.

Phase 2, which is planned to start in early July and conclude in September, will be designed based on Phase 1 results, positioning Martiniere for potential future resource delineation as results warrant, added the company.

"We believe continued exploration at Martiniere offers significant potential to unlock additional value for shareholders as we advance our assessment of the property's district-scale growth opportunities while targeting near-term resource expansion," said Brian Penny, Wallbridge's Chief Executive Officer. "At the same time, we remain focused on advancing the technical work required to further de-risk Fenelon and position the project for its next stage of development."

Wallbridge prepares its disclosure in accordance with NI 43-101 which differs from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Terms relating to mineral properties, mineralization and estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources and economic studies used herein are defined in accordance with NI 43-101 under the guidelines set out in CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Council on May 19, 2014, as amended. NI 43-101 differs significantly from the disclosure requirements of the SEC generally applicable to US companies. As such, the information presented herein concerning mineral properties, mineralization and estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Southern Copper (SCCO) has been one of the most searched-for stocks on Zacks.com lately. So, you might want to look at some of the facts that could shape the stock's performance in the near term.

Shares of this miner have returned -7% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's -2.3% change. The Zacks Mining – Non Ferrous industry, to which Southern Copper belongs, has lost 6.5% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term?

While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company's business prospects usually make its stock 'trending' and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making.

Earnings Estimate Revisions

Here at Zacks, we prioritize appraising the change in the projection of a company's future earnings over anything else. That's because we believe the present value of its future stream of earnings is what determines the fair value for its stock.

We essentially look at how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to reflect the impact of the latest business trends. And if earnings estimates go up for a company, the fair value for its stock goes up. A higher fair value than the current market price drives investors' interest in buying the stock, leading to its price moving higher. This is why empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.

For the current quarter, Southern Copper is expected to post earnings of $1.88 per share, indicating a change of +58% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -0.5% over the last 30 days.

The consensus earnings estimate of $6.57 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of +25.4%. This estimate has changed +3.1% over the last 30 days.

For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $6.25 indicates a change of -5% from what Southern Copper is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed +12.1%.

Having a strong externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, offers a more conclusive picture of a stock's price direction in the near term, since it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. Due to the size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, Southern Copper is rated Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:

12 Month EPS

Projected Revenue Growth

Even though a company's earnings growth is arguably the best indicator of its financial health, nothing much happens if it cannot raise its revenues. It's almost impossible for a company to grow its earnings without growing its revenue for long periods. Therefore, knowing a company's potential revenue growth is crucial.

For Southern Copper, the consensus sales estimate for the current quarter of $3.87 billion indicates a year-over-year change of +23.9%. For the current and next fiscal years, $14.56 billion and $12.99 billion estimates indicate +8.5% and -10.8% changes, respectively.

Last Reported Results and Surprise History

Southern Copper reported revenues of $3.87 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +39%. EPS of $1.56 for the same period compares with $1.01 a year ago.

Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.62 billion, the reported revenues represent a surprise of +6.88%. The EPS surprise was +6.85%.

The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters. The company topped consensus revenue estimates each time over this period.

Valuation

No investment decision can be efficient without considering a stock's valuation. Whether a stock's current price rightly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects is an essential determinant of its future price performance.

While comparing the current values of a company's valuation multiples, such as price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), with its own historical values helps determine whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of the reasonability of the stock's price.

As part of the Zacks Style Scores system, the Zacks Value Style Score (which evaluates both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics) organizes stocks into five groups ranging from A to F (A is better than B; B is better than C; and so on), making it helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued.

Southern Copper is graded D on this front, indicating that it is trading at a premium to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade.

Bottom Line

The facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about Southern Copper. However, its Zacks Rank #3 does suggest that it may perform in line with the broader market in the near term.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 12, 2026) – Rokmaster Resources Corp. (TSXV: RKR) (OTCQB: RKMSF) (FSE: 1RR1) ("Rokmaster" or "the Company") is pleased to announce drill testing of porphyry Cu-(Mo±Au) targets on the Hanson Property in the coming weeks.

The Hanson Property is a part of the Company's Nechako Project, which totals 26,932 hectares (269 km2) across three properties located in west-central British Columbia. The Nechako Project features multiple exploration targets for significant porphyry Cu-(Mo±Au) mineralization and high-grade Au-Ag vein systems in the southern portion of the productive Stikine terrane (Figure 1). Rokmaster has nurtured the Nechako Project for several years, efficiently vectoring towards robust drill targets on the three properties which now all hold exploration drill permits.

The Hanson Property is largely underlain by granite, monzonite, and granodiorite of the Endako Batholith which also hosts the past producing Endako Molybdenum Mine located approximately 20 km south of the Property (Figure 2). The Hanson Property is situated near a major structural intersection with potential for three distinct periods of mineralization in the district: late Jurassic porphyry Mo, late Cretaceous porphyry Cu±Mo±Au, and early Eocene porphyry Cu-Au mineralization. Previous exploration work, mostly completed by Endako Mines in the early 1970's, generated several significant soil and geophysical anomalies which have received only limited drill testing.

The focus for the upcoming drill program will be on the Wilson Zone which features multiple layers of encouraging features building on previous exploration:

  • A 900 x 800 m open soil anomaly with high molybdenum (10-126 ppm Mo) and copper (80-357 ppm Cu) concentrations.
  • The soil anomaly is coincident with outcrops of Stern Creek diorite which hosts fracture- and vein-hosted molybdenite mineralization and extensive potassic secondary biotite alteration.
  • The Wilson Zone hosts historical rock grab sample results up to 1.37% Mo, 0.47% Cu, and 0.48 g/t Au.
  • An open I.P chargeability anomaly was detected in 1973 by Endako Mines over the Wilson Zone. The broad anomaly is evident in the more exposed area to the east with strong pyrite mineralization, and cored by a resistivity high anomaly. Endako Mines completed only two shallow (<63.0 m) drillholes near the resistivity anomaly after a five-year hiatus of exploration at the time. These two drillholes were sporadically assayed only for molybdenum which returned elevated results up to 0.07% MoS2.
  • An airborne ZTEM survey completed in 2012 features anomalies in the apparent resistivity and magnetic data that are coincident with the above.
  • The Wilson Zone occurs along a major north-trending intrusive contact between the Hanson Phase and Stern Creek Phase of the Endako Batholith.

Ambitious exploration on the larger Nechako Project is planned for 2026 on all three Properties, and will include I.P survey and drill testing on the Mystery Property later in the year. The entire Nechako Project is permitted for exploration drilling and the Company is funded to complete the exploration work currently planned for 2026.

John Mirko, President and CEO, comments:

"The Wilson Zone on the Hanson Property hosts multiple features that encourage drill testing for significant porphyry Cu-(Mo±Au) mineralization in the coming weeks. The positive field work completed in 2025 combined with the excellent work done by previous operators on the Property have vectored several exciting drill targets for the critical metals of molybdenum and copper with encouraging gold results in the same area. For several years, Rokmaster has been advancing the Nechako Project by effective field work programs and by getting drill permits in place to launch into 2026 with potential discoveries in a thrilling price environment."

European bourses were trending lower in Thursday trading as investors continue to keep a wary eye on developments in the Middle East conflict, as well as Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which has sent oil price soaring.

The Stoxx Europe fell 0.8%, Germany's DAX dropped 0.6%, the FTSE 100 lost 0.7%, France's CAC declined 1%, and the Swiss Market Index was down 1%.

European financial stocks were hit hard as HSBC and Barclays shed 7.1% and 5.8% respectively in London, followed by Standard Chartered and Lloyds Banking, which dropped 4.5% and 3.3% respectively. Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank lost 6.7% and 4.5% respectively in Frankfurt. Societe Generale and BNP Paribas declined 2.8% and 2.7% respectively in Paris, followed by Credit Agricole, which was down 2.4%.

Mining stocks were also tracking lower as Antofagasta and Anglo American fell 3.6% and 3.2% respectively in London. ArcelorMittal lost 4.2% in Paris, while Heidelberg Materials was down 4.7% in Frankfurt.

And in corporate news, Deutsche Bank said Thursday in its annual report that it has about 26 billion euros ($30 billion) in exposure to private credit, an asset class facing rising scrutiny as investors pull back and concerns grow about loan quality.

The German lender said it does not see "significant risks" tied directly to non-bank financial institutions but warned of potential indirect credit risks through interconnected portfolios and counterparties.

Deutsche Bank also said Thursday that it plans to defend itself "robustly" in civil lawsuits filed by former employees, who are seeking more than $980 million in total settlements for alleged damage caused to their careers.

Civil claims for 152 million euros ($176.3 million) and 600 million British pounds ($805.5 million) have been filed by five employees in Germany and the UK.

Stellantis executives have met with Chinese carmakers XPeng and Xiaomi to discuss options for its European operations, including acquiring stakes in Maserati or other brands, Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.

None of the companies immediately replied to requests for comment from MT Newswires.

Shares of Stellantis were down 2.3% in Paris.

UBS and JPMorgan Chase had severed ties with Infini Capital Management well before a probe into the investment firm was made public, Bloomberg News reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Infini was recently raided by authorities during an investigation into alleged insider dealing in Hong Kong, the unnamed sources told the news outlet.

JPMorgan, UBS, and Infini didn't immediately respond to MT Newswires' requests for comment.

Shares of UBS lost 2.7% in Zurich.

BHP Group's Newman fines, a specific grade of iron ore, has been banned by state-owned China Mineral Resources Group for domestic firms starting next week over a contract dispute, Reuters reported Thursday, citing three sources with knowledge of the matter.

Shares of the mining company fell 2.4% in London.

Anglo American (NGLOY) could be a solid addition to your portfolio given its recent upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). This rating change essentially reflects an upward trend in earnings estimates — one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices.

The sole determinant of the Zacks rating is a company's changing earnings picture. The Zacks Consensus Estimate — the consensus of EPS estimates from the sell-side analysts covering the stock — for the current and following years is tracked by the system.

The power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements makes the Zacks rating system highly useful for individual investors, since it can be difficult to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts. These are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time.

As such, the Zacks rating upgrade for Anglo American is essentially a positive comment on its earnings outlook that could have a favorable impact on its stock price.

Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock Prices

The change in a company's future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, has proven to be strongly correlated with the near-term price movement of its stock. The influence of institutional investors has a partial contribution to this relationship, as these big professionals use earnings and earnings estimates to calculate the fair value of a company's shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their transaction of large amounts of shares then leads to price movement for the stock.

Fundamentally speaking, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade for Anglo American imply an improvement in the company's underlying business. Investors should show their appreciation for this improving business trend by pushing the stock higher.

Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate Revisions

As empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, tracking such revisions for making an investment decision could be truly rewarding. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.

The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .

Earnings Estimate Revisions for Anglo American

For the fiscal year ending December 2026, this company is expected to earn $0.84 per share, which is unchanged compared with the year-ago reported number.

Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for Anglo American. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 18.7%.

Bottom Line

Unlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of "buy" and "sell" ratings for its entire universe of more than 4,000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a "Strong Buy" rating and the next 15% get a "Buy" rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.

You can learn more about the Zacks Rank here >>>

The upgrade of Anglo American to a Zacks Rank #2 positions it in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks in terms of estimate revisions, implying that the stock might move higher in the near term.

Highlights:

  • South32 and Teck will maintain their equity ownership in American Eagle Gold.
  • Including Eric Sprott's private placement, American Eagle Gold's cash balance will increase by $34 million to more than $55 million upon close of this financing.
  • Eric Sprott, South32 and Teck are the sole participants in this financing.
  • The average price per FT Share is C$1.18.

  • American Eagle Gold will spend at least $34 million on drilling and exploration through the end of 2027.

  • Due to unseasonably mild regional weather, the Company expects to begin the 2026 drilling campaign earlier than previously planned.

  • The drilling and exploration program will be released to investors shortly.

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – March 11, 2026) – American Eagle Gold Corp. (TSXV: AE) (OTCQB: AMEGF) ("American Eagle" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that existing shareholders, a wholly-owned subsidiary of South32 Ltd ("South32") and Teck Resources Limited ("Teck"), have each elected to participate in the Company's previously announced non-brokered private placement.

The Company previously announced on February 27, 2026 a financing for aggregate gross proceeds up to C$34,540,000, consisting of approximately: (i) up to 19,200,000 common shares to be issued on a premium flow-through basis (each, a "FT Share") at a price of C$1.20 per FT Share for proceeds of C$23,040,000 (the "Sprott Offering"); and (ii) up to 14,935,065 common shares at a price of C$0.77 per share for proceeds of up to C$11,500,000 (the "Concurrent Offering").

The terms of the Concurrent Offering have been updated to be 9,650,550 FT Shares at a price of C$1.1319 per FT Share for gross proceeds of C$10,923,458 (hereafter, the "Concurrent Offering" and together with the Sprott Offering, the "Offering"). The aggregate gross proceeds from the Offering are now expected to be C$33,963,458.

Teck has agreed to maintain its 12.9% interest in the Company, through the acquisition of 3,797,058 common shares underlying the Concurrent Offering at a back-end price of $0.77 per share, and South32 has agreed to maintain its 19.9% interest in the Company, through the acquisition of 5,853,492 common shares underlying the Concurrent Offering at a back-end price of $0.77 per share.

"We are ecstatic that both South32 and Teck will maintain their ownership stakes in American Eagle Gold. Having two major miners continue to invest in us is a strong vote of confidence in our Company and the NAK project. With over $55 million in the treasury after closing, we will have one of the strongest balance sheets in the junior mining industry, allowing us to deploy the proper resources to continue unlocking shareholder value. Our plan is to execute the largest drill program ever undertaken in the region, with rigs operating continuously well into the spring of 2027. Our goal for 2026 is to prove that NAK can be a mine in this current metals cycle and demonstrate why it should be considered as one of the best undeveloped copper-gold porphyry projects in the country. We very much look forward to unveiling our plan for all investors to see in the not-so-distant future and putting this new influx of cash to immediate use," said Anthony Moreau, CEO, American Eagle.

As previously announced, Eric Sprott, through 2176423 Ontario Ltd., a corporation beneficially owned and controlled by him, has agreed to acquire an approximate 9.5% equity interest in the Company (assuming the maximum Offering amount), through the purchase of 19,200,000 common shares underlying the Sprott Offering at a back-end price of $0.77 per share. The investment represents C$23,040,000 of the Sprott Offering gross proceeds.

American Eagle will use the proceeds from the Offering to thoroughly test its thesis at NAK and build on the successes of its 2024 and 2025 drill programs, which expanded NAK's scale and identified additional high-grade zones.

The FT Shares will qualify as "flow-through shares" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"). An amount equal to the gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Shares will be used to incur, on the Company's Canadian mineral exploration properties, eligible resource exploration expenses that will qualify as (i) "Canadian exploration expenses" (as defined in the Tax Act), (ii) "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures" (as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Tax Act), and (iii) "BC flow-through mining expenditures" for purchasers in British Columbia (collectively, the "Qualifying Expenditures"). The Qualifying Expenditures, in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issuance of the FT Shares, will be incurred on or before December 31, 2027 and will be renounced by the Company to the initial purchasers of the FT Shares with an effective date no later than December 31, 2026. In the event that the Company is unable to renounce the full issue price of the FT Shares on or prior to December 31, 2026 and/or if the Qualifying Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the Company will indemnify each initial purchaser for the additional taxes payable by such subscriber to the extent permitted by the Tax Act as a result of the Company's failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures as agreed.

Upon closing this Offering (assuming both the Sprott Offering and Concurrent Offering are completed), American Eagle will have over C$55 million in cash on its balance sheet, and the Company will be fully funded for substantial drill program expansions in 2026 and 2027.

No warrants are included in the Offering. The Company will pay a commission or finder's fee of up to 1% in connection with the Offering. Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on, or about, March 20, 2026 (the "Closing Date"), subject to satisfaction of the closing conditions for the benefit of the parties, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. The FT Shares and underlying common shares will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day following the Closing Date.

The securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any state of the United States, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) absent registration under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration requirements.

About American Eagle's NAK Project

The NAK Project lies within the Babine copper-gold porphyry district of central British Columbia. It has excellent infrastructure through all-season roads and is close to the towns of Smithers, Houston, and Burns Lake, B.C., which lie along a major rail line and Provincial Highway 16. Historical drilling and geophysical, geological, and geochemical work at NAK, which began in the 1960's, tested only to shallow depths. Still, the work revealed a very large near-surface copper-gold system that measures over 1.5 km x 1.5 km. Drilling completed by American Eagle in 2022, 2023, and 2024 returned significant intervals of high-grade copper-gold mineralization that reached beyond and much deeper than the historical drilling, indicating that zones of near-surface and deeper mineralization, locally with considerably higher grades, exist within the broader NAK property mineralizing system. American Eagle Gold completed an aggressive 31,500 metre drill program in 2025 designed to expand and improve the mineral footprint.

  • BHP Group (ASX:BHP) has sold 100% of its San Manuel property in Arizona to Faraday Copper Corp, while retaining a 30% equity stake and related shareholder rights.
  • The San Manuel sale supports plans to build a copper hub in the US around the project.
  • BHP has entered a long term silver streaming agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals, linked to silver production from the Antamina mine.
  • China Mineral Resources Group has placed new restrictions on BHP iron ore cargoes as contract negotiations and disputes continue.

For a miner of BHP’s scale, copper, silver and iron ore sit at the core of its business mix, and these moves touch each of those areas at once. The US copper hub concept and the Antamina silver stream change how ASX:BHP is exposed to future production and price risk across two key metals. At the same time, tighter conditions from China Mineral Resources Group introduce extra uncertainty around its long standing iron ore trade into China.

If you are following ASX:BHP, this cluster of deals and contract tensions is worth tracking together rather than in isolation. The combination of portfolio changes, new streaming income and evolving iron ore terms in China could influence how the company balances cash flow sources, capital allocation and regional exposure over time.

VANCOUVER, BC, March 9, 2026 /CNW/ – (TSX: LUN) (Nasdaq Stockholm: LUMI) Lundin Mining Corporation ("Lundin Mining" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into purchase agreements to acquire an additional 5% interest in the issued and outstanding equity of SCM Minera Lumina Copper Chile ("Lumina Copper"), which owns the Caserones copper-molybdenum mine ("Caserones'") located in Chile, as well as a 30.9% interest in the Los Helados Project and a 0.62% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") on Los Helados from JX Advanced Metals Corporation and affiliates (collectively, "JX") for total consideration of US$215 million (collectively, the "Transaction").

Jack Lundin, President and CEO, commented "Securing an additional 5% ownership in Caserones and acquiring 31% of the Los Helados Project marks another significant step in strengthening Lundin Mining's copper-dominant portfolio in the emerging Vicuña District. This investment increases our attributable production profile at an attractive acquisition price and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to disciplined, scalable growth in high-quality assets. Through our consistent strategy, together with our partners in the region, we will continue to enhance operational performance to drive stronger financial returns while advancing growth opportunities to sustain long-term value creation."

Highlights:

  • Strengthens Lundin Mining's copper production profile: Increases 2026 attributable copper production by 6,500 to 7,000 tonnes. Caserones' production guidance for 2026 is 130,000 ‑ 140,000 tonnes of copper on a 100% basis and annual cash cost1 is forecast to be $2.05/lb – $2.25/lb of copper, after by-product credits.2
  • The additional Caserones interest will contribute immediate free cash flow: Attractive acquisition price that is accretive to attributable production and financial metrics.
  • Los Helados will add meaningful copper and gold Mineral Resources to Lundin Mining's metal inventory. Los Helados on a 100% basis contains:
    • Indicated Mineral Resources: 8.3 Mt of copper, 10.2 Moz of gold and 97.5 Moz of silver (2.1 billion tonnes at 0.40% copper, 0.15 g/t gold and 1.5 g/t silver).
    • Inferred Mineral Resources: 3.7 Mt copper, 3.6 Moz of gold and 50.2 Moz of silver (1.1 billion tonnes at 0.34% copper, 0.10 g/t gold and 1.4 g/t silver).
  • Provides additional growth optionality: Los Helados is approximately 17 km to the south from Lundin Mining's Caserones mine, located within the emerging Vicuña District. Possible synergies include scenarios to potentially truck or convey mineralization from Los Helados to Caserones, offsetting lower grade material with higher grade mineralization from Los Helados.

Caserones Mine

Lundin Mining initially acquired a 51% interest in Caserones in 2023 and subsequently increased its ownership to 70% in 2024. Upon closing of the Transaction, Lundin Mining will increase its ownership interest to 75%. Caserones is in the Atacama Region (Region III) of Chile and is part of the emerging Vicuña copper district. The operation produces copper and molybdenum concentrates from a traditional open pit mine and conventional sulphide flotation plant, as well as copper cathode from a dump leach, solvent extraction and electrowinning plant. In 2025 Caserones produced 132,881 tonnes of copper at a cash cost of $2.17/lb.3

Los Helados Project

Los Helados is a large copper-gold deposit, located in Chile's Atacama Region, approximately 17 kilometres to the south from Lundin Mining's Caserones operation and approximately 10 kilometres to the north of the Vicuña Project. The deposit contains a high-grade breccia core with multiple mineralized zones, including the Condor, Fenix, and Alicanto zones. These zones represent higher-grade structural corridors within the broader mineralized system and provide potential opportunities to optimize mine development. A total of 96,448 metres of drilling has been completed on the project in 110 holes, a Mineral Resource estimate was updated in 2023 and highlighted a significant inventory of contained copper, gold and silver. NGEx Minerals Ltd. holds the remaining 69.1% ownership in the project and is the operator. On an attributable basis Los Helados will increase our measured and indicated copper Mineral Resources by 15% and gold Mineral Resources by 11%.4

    Lundin Mining (LUN.TO) late on Monday said it has agreed to acquire an additional 5% interest in the issued and outstanding equity of SCM Minera Lumina Copper Chile, which owns the Caserones copper-molybdenum mine in Chile, as well as a 30.9% stake in the Los Helados project and a 0.62% net smelter return royalty on Los Helados from JX Advanced Metals and affiliates for total consideration of US$215 million.

    The deal is expected to increase Lundin's 2026 attributable copper production by 6,500 to 7,000 tonnes. Los Helados is expected to add meaningful copper and gold mineral resources to Lundin's metal inventory.

    With Los Helados located about 17 kilometers to the south from Lundin's Caserones mine, the deal provides additional growth optionality such as potential trucking of mineralization from Los Helados to Caserones.

    Lundin Mining initially acquired a 51% interest in Caserones in 2023 and increased its ownership to 70% in 2024. At deal closing, Lundin will boost its ownership interest to 75%.

    The Caserones operation produces copper and molybdenum concentrates from a traditional open pit mine and conventional sulphide flotation plant, as well as copper cathode from a dump leach, solvent extraction and electrowinning plant.

    Los Helados is a large copper-gold deposit in Chile's Atacama region. The deposit contains a high-grade breccia core with multiple mineralized zones, including the Condor, Fenix, and Alicanto zones, providing potential mine development optimization opportunities.

    NGEx Minerals (NGEX.TO) holds the remaining 69.1% ownership in the project and is the operator. On an attributable basis, Los Helados will increase Lundin's measured and indicated copper mineral resources by 15% and gold mineral resources by 11%.

    The transaction has been approved by the boards of both Lundin and JX and is expected to close in April.

    Rio Tinto and BHP face iron ore inventory warning as prices recover from Chinese New Year lows Proactive uses images sourced from Shutterstock

    UBS rates all major producers Neutral as Chinese port stockpiles hit their highest level in more than three years

    Iron ore prices have recovered to around $105 per tonne after sliding to roughly $96 during the Chinese New Year period, but UBS has flagged a significant supply overhang that could weigh on the majors, including London-listed Rio Tinto Ltd (LSE:RIO, ASX:RIO, OTC:RTNTF) and BHP Group Ltd (LSE:BHP, ASX:BHP).

    Chinese port inventories have climbed to approximately 163 million tonnes, up 19 million tonnes year-on-year and the highest level in more than three years, a build that UBS describes as a key risk to the price recovery.

    Rio Tinto, the FTSE 100 mining company, saw its Pilbara earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) per tonne improve by $2 in the second half of 2025, recovering from cyclone disruptions earlier in the year, but UBS singled out its cash costs as a vulnerability.

    Rio's C1 cash cost of $23.80 per tonne is around $5 per tonne higher than both BHP and Fortescue, which UBS described as a key opportunity for the miner's new management team to address.

    BHP, which also has a primary London listing, was identified as the highest-margin producer in the group, with an EBITDA margin of 63% and EBITDA per tonne of $58 in the second half of 2025.

    Anglo American's iron ore assets, Kumba Iron Ore in South Africa and Minas Rio in Brazil, delivered stable EBITDA per tonne despite depressed high-grade and lump premiums.

    UBS carries 'neutral' ratings on Rio Tinto, BHP, Vale and Fortescue, and a Sell on Kumba Iron Ore, citing spot 2026 free cash flow yields of 10% for Rio, 9% for Vale and 5% for BHP.

    China's steel production fell 14% year-on-year in January on official data, though blast furnace utilisation rates remain stable at around 86%.

    Southern Copper (SCCO) closed at $196.16 in the latest trading session, marking a +2.9% move from the prior day. The stock's performance was ahead of the S&P 500's daily loss of 0.21%. Meanwhile, the Dow experienced a drop of 0.07%, and the technology-dominated Nasdaq saw an increase of 0.01%.

    Shares of the miner have depreciated by 8.47% over the course of the past month, underperforming the Basic Materials sector's loss of 2.21%, and the S&P 500's loss of 2.26%.

    Analysts and investors alike will be keeping a close eye on the performance of Southern Copper in its upcoming earnings disclosure. It is anticipated that the company will report an EPS of $1.88, marking a 57.98% rise compared to the same quarter of the previous year. In the meantime, our current consensus estimate forecasts the revenue to be $3.87 billion, indicating a 23.93% growth compared to the corresponding quarter of the prior year.

    For the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates project earnings of $6.57 per share and a revenue of $14.56 billion, demonstrating changes of +25.38% and +8.5%, respectively, from the preceding year.

    It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for Southern Copper. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the business and profitability.

    Our research reveals that these estimate alterations are directly linked with the stock price performance in the near future. To capitalize on this, we've crafted the Zacks Rank, a unique model that incorporates these estimate changes and offers a practical rating system.

    VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / March 10, 2026 / Condor Resources Inc. ("Condor" or the "Company") (TSXV:CN) is pleased to announce that its Cobreorco copper-gold project in Apurímac, Peru, has received the Initiation of Activities ("IA") permit from the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines ("MEM"), the final permit required to commence exploration drilling at the project.

    Cobreorco is being advanced pursuant to Condor's option and joint venture agreement with Teck Perú S.A. ("Teck Perú"), a subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited. Following receipt of the IA permit, Teck Perú is expected to commence a 3,500-metre diamond drilling program in June 2026, consisting of six priority holes designed to test a compelling copper-gold skarn and porphyry target defined through geophysical, geochemical and geological work completed in 2025.

    Chris Buncic, President and CEO of Condor, commented: "The receipt of the IA permit is a major milestone for Cobreorco and an important step forward in unlocking the value of this project. Teck Perú have done an excellent job advancing Cobreorco through the technical, social and permitting work required to get to this point. We are excited to see drilling begin and believe that a successful program at Cobreorco has the potential to have a material positive impact for Condor shareholders."

    During 2025, Teck Perú completed an extensive work program at Cobreorco that materially advanced the project toward drilling. This included ongoing engagement with local communities, technical field reviews to refine the geological model, and multiple geophysical and surface exploration surveys. Key work programs completed during the year included a radiometric survey over approximately 70% of the property, in-fill soil sampling, a ground gravimetric survey, and a 20 line-kilometer induced polarization survey. The results of this work were integrated into an updated geological and geophysical model, which was used to define the planned 2026 drill program.

    In addition to the technical work, Teck Perú made significant progress on the project's permitting and social workstreams during 2025. The project's Declaración de Impacto Ambiental ("DIA") was approved in June 2025. Thereafter, Teck Perú advanced the required consultation and community engagement processes, culminating in support from the relevant communities for the proposed drilling activities. Teck Perú also received the project's water permit from the Autoridad Nacional del Agua ("ANA").

    Figure 1: Geophysical surveys completed during 2025, including radiometric coverage, gravimetry stations, induced polarization lines, and the location of planned 2026 drill holes. Figure 2: Integrated geophysical and geochemical anomalies defining the Cobreorco drill target, including proposed and contingent drill holes in the 2026 program.

    Cobreorco comprises nine mineral concessions totaling approximately 5,100 hectares and is located in the Southern Peru Eocene Belt, approximately 175 kilometers southwest of Cusco. The project hosts copper-gold skarn and porphyry-style mineralization and is considered by management to represent a significant discovery opportunity.

    As previously announced, under the terms of the agreement, Teck Perú has the option to earn an initial 55% interest in Cobreorco by incurring US$4 million in exploration expenditures and making US$500,000 in cash payments over a three-year period beginning on the permit date. Following exercise of the first option, Teck Perú may increase its interest to 75% by completing an additional US$6 million in exploration expenditures and making a further US$600,000 in cash payments.

    Separately, the Company announces that, pursuant to a finder's fee agreement dated April 7, 2025, it will pay Hernán Barros Cruchaga a finder's fee in connection with the Company's sale of its Soledad property in Ancash, Peru. The finder's fee consists of US$3,000 in cash and 150,000 common shares of the Company, subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

    Investors interested in Mining – Miscellaneous stocks are likely familiar with Nexa Resources S.A. (NEXA) and Anglo American (NGLOY). But which of these two companies is the best option for those looking for undervalued stocks? Let's take a closer look.

    There are plenty of strategies for discovering value stocks, but we have found that pairing a strong Zacks Rank with an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system produces the best returns. The Zacks Rank is a proven strategy that targets companies with positive earnings estimate revision trends, while our Style Scores work to grade companies based on specific traits.

    Nexa Resources S.A. and Anglo American are sporting Zacks Ranks of #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy), respectively, right now. This system places an emphasis on companies that have seen positive earnings estimate revisions, so investors should feel comfortable knowing that NEXA is likely seeing its earnings outlook improve to a greater extent. However, value investors will care about much more than just this.

    Value investors also tend to look at a number of traditional, tried-and-true figures to help them find stocks that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.

    Our Value category grades stocks based on a number of key metrics, including the tried-and-true P/E ratio, the P/S ratio, earnings yield, and cash flow per share, as well as a variety of other fundamentals that value investors frequently use.

    NEXA currently has a forward P/E ratio of 6.60, while NGLOY has a forward P/E of 25.86. We also note that NEXA has a PEG ratio of 0.13. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company's expected earnings growth rate. NGLOY currently has a PEG ratio of 0.60.

    Another notable valuation metric for NEXA is its P/B ratio of 1.15. The P/B is a method of comparing a stock's market value to its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. By comparison, NGLOY has a P/B of 1.99.

    These metrics, and several others, help NEXA earn a Value grade of B, while NGLOY has been given a Value grade of C.

    NEXA has seen stronger estimate revision activity and sports more attractive valuation metrics than NGLOY, so it seems like value investors will conclude that NEXA is the superior option right now.

    An updated edition of the January 15, 2026 article.Nuclear energy is increasingly being recognized as a critical solution to meet the world’s rising demand for clean electricity. As utilities continue transitioning toward low-carbon power sources, nuclear plants stand out for their ability to deliver dependable, carbon-free generation. Unlike solar and wind power, which are weather-dependent, nuclear energy provides consistent, around-the-clock output. The renewed momentum in the sector is reflected in the extension of operating licenses for existing reactors, ongoing development of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), approvals for the construction of new nuclear facilities, and the restart of previously shut U.S. reactors. Investments from major technology companies to support SMR development further underscore the growing investor interest in nuclear energy stocks.In the United States, new policies aim to expand nuclear capacity from roughly 100 gigawatts (“GW”) in 2024 to about 400 GW by 2050. The nuclear energy sector is gaining momentum as it supports global decarbonization goals. Favorable regulations and ongoing R&D in advanced SMRs are strengthening its outlook. Meanwhile, rising demand for reliable 24/7 clean power from AI data centers, manufacturing reshoring and electric vehicles is creating new growth opportunities. Government initiatives to boost domestic uranium supply are further supporting the sector’s momentum.With this increasing importance, nuclear energy-related stocks, such as Entergy Corporation ETR, Nano Nuclear Energy Inc. NNE and NexGen Energy NXE, are becoming attractive investment options. Unlike other clean energy sources affected by intermittency, nuclear power plants provide a consistent and stable energy output, operating around the clock except during planned maintenance intervals.Compared with other clean energy sources, nuclear power requires significantly less land to generate the same amount of clean electricity. Additionally, while all traditional energy sources produce waste, nuclear energy stands apart for its highly regulated, secure and systematic approach to waste management and storage. Increasing adoption of electric vehicles, rising demand from the power grids and the development of large artificial intelligence-powered data centers are increasing the importance of nuclear power plants.Nuclear Energy stocks have huge potential and can offer significant growth opportunities for investors. Our Nuclear Energy Screen makes it easier for investors to locate high-potential stocks at any given time. Apart from the stocks mentioned above, investors can also explore stocks like Denison Mines Corp. DNN and BHP Group Limited BHP, as these companies ensure the supply of uranium for the smooth running of nuclear power plants.Ready to uncover more transformative thematic investment ideas? Explore 36 cutting-edge investment themes with Zacks Thematic Investing Screens and discover your next big opportunity.Entergy Corporation’s nuclear energy portfolio supports its long-term growth strategy and transition to cleaner energy. As of Dec. 31. 2025, the company’s major nuclear plants generated around 21% of its total power capacity. Entergy is actively pursuing license extensions and system upgrades at these facilities, targeting an additional 275 MW through uprates. These enhancements not only increase generation but also highlight Entergy’s ongoing commitment to delivering stable, carbon-free baseload electricity. The company has taken initiatives to add 40 MW at its River Bend nuclear plant in Louisiana.Entergy is advancing efforts to explore next-generation nuclear technologies to further lower emissions. The company has secured a permit in Mississippi for a potential new reactor site and is working to engage industrial customers and technology firms, particularly those in the AI and data sectors. These partnerships aim to collaboratively address the financial and regulatory challenges associated with developing next-generation nuclear projects.Entergy’s nuclear expansion is gaining momentum as electricity demand rises from AI-driven industries and large data centers. Supported by strong market demand and a forward-looking strategy, the company’s nuclear initiatives are well-positioned to enhance regional energy reliability and advance broader U.S. decarbonization goals.This Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company intends to invest $43 billion during the 2026-2029 period to fund the company's generation fleet transition and grid modernization, and expand its zero-carbon generation portfolio.You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.Nano Nuclear Energy Inc. is a microreactor developer, aiming to become the leading advanced nuclear microreactor developer in North America. The company is advancing KRONOS toward licensing and already has a pipeline of potential commercial customers and strategic partners in the United States and globally for its KRONOS MMRTM system.Uranium plays a vital role in the successful operation of nuclear power plants. The company continues to address the key bottlenecks within the nuclear fuel supply chain and is in discussion with different providers for securing a dependable uranium source for NANO Nuclear Energy’s future fuel requirements.Nano Nuclear Energy has completed the assembly of its proprietary Annular Linear Induction Pump technology prototype and expects to begin commercial sales efforts. The milestone demonstrates the company’s ability to advance its technology from initial design through construction and successful demonstration.This Zacks Rank #2 company has a growing pipeline of opportunities with potential AI data center, industrial and military-related customers for its KRONOS MM system.NexGen Energy is emerging as an important player in the global nuclear fuel supply chain, led by its flagship Rook I uranium project in Canada’s Athabasca Basin. As nuclear power gains renewed importance in the global energy transition, the company is well-positioned to benefit from rising uranium demand. Government support for nuclear generation to meet decarbonization goals and rising electricity consumption creates a favorable environment for uranium developers like NexGen Energy.NexGen Energy reached a key milestone in 2026 after securing final approval from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission to begin site preparation and construction of the Rook I project. Once operational around 2030, the project could produce up to 30 million pounds of uranium annually and will be ready to meet the demand from nuclear power plants.Zacks #2 Ranked NexGen Energy’s long-term outlook remains favorable as global interest in nuclear power rises and uranium supply tightens. Increasing electricity demand from AI technologies and large data centers is expected to boost nuclear expansion and uranium consumption. Backed by a high-quality resource base and a clear path to production, the company is well-positioned to become a leading uranium supplier and generate long-term investor value.

    Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (NYSE:WPM) is one of the 13 Most Profitable Growth Stocks to Buy Right Now. Lawson Winder from Bank of America reiterated a Buy rating on Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (NYSE:WPM) on February 26. The firm also raised its price target on the stock from $160 to $188. The firm has updated its  2026 forecasts for metal prices. Following that revision, it is adjusting its price targets for North American Metals & Mining companies under its coverage, according to the analyst.

    Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (NYSE:WPM) CEO Randy Smallwood commented:

    Quality silver production is becoming increasingly difficult to source while demand continues to rise for both critical industrial uses and for silver’s safe haven qualities in today’s economic environment.

    What Wall Street Has Been Saying 🐂 Bullish Takeaways

    • Argus lifted its BHP Group target to US$90 from US$68 while keeping a Buy rating, pointing to what it views as supportive long term fundamentals and potential benefits from global economic growth.
    • Argus also highlights that pressure on some commodities has weighed on earnings power and dividends, but it sees conditions improving as the Chinese economy stabilizes, which it views as a positive setup for BHP.
    • Citi raised its BHP target to 2,800 GBp from 2,600 GBp and maintains a Neutral stance, which still reflects a higher valuation anchor for the shares in its model.
    • Barclays moved its target up to 2,770 GBp from 2,500 GBp and keeps an Equal Weight rating, signalling that its updated work supports a higher fair value range even without a positive rating tilt.

    🐻 Bearish Takeaways

    • Berenberg increased its target to 2,600 GBp from 2,300 GBp but reiterates a Sell rating, suggesting concern that, in its view, the market price already embeds generous expectations relative to its assessment of BHP’s revenue, margins and commodity exposure.

    What BHP Group’s recent performance means for investors

    BHP Group (ASX:BHP) has recently shown mixed share price moves, with a 4.2% decline over the past day and a 9.6% decline over the past week, while month and past 3 months returns remain positive.

    See our latest analysis for BHP Group.

    Despite the recent share price pressure, including a 4.2% one day decline and 9.6% seven day share price decline, BHP Group’s A$52.81 share price still sits on the back of a 41.1% one year total shareholder return and a 74.2% five year total shareholder return. That mix points to strong long term wealth creation, while short term momentum has cooled.

    If you are reassessing your resources exposure after BHP’s recent moves, it could be a good moment to look at other miners via our 8 top copper producer stocks screener and see what else stands out.

    With BHP trading around A$52.81, close to the average analyst price target of A$51.98 and with an intrinsic value estimate pointing to a premium, you have to ask yourself: is there still a buying opportunity here, or is the market already pricing in future growth?

    Most Popular Narrative: 4.8% Undervalued

    At A$52.81, BHP Group is trading a little below the A$55.50 fair value implied in the most followed narrative, according to Bailey. This framing views today’s pullback as part of a longer term copper and potash story.

    Jansen Potash Diversification & Stage 2 Approval: Despite short-term timeline shifts, the Board’s approval of Jansen Stage 2 cements BHP’s commitment to becoming a global potash major. Once fully operational, the Jansen project is expected to deliver approximately 8.5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa), creating a massive new revenue stream uncorrelated with Chinese industrial demand or iron ore cycles, thereby stabilizing long-term cash flows.

    Read the complete narrative.

    Curious how a copper heavy portfolio, a long dated potash build out and disciplined capital allocation all feed into that fair value number? The full narrative lays out the revenue mix shift, margin assumptions and required returns that sit underneath Bailey’s A$55.50 figure, and how those inputs attempt to balance BHP’s traditional iron ore cash engine with its future facing assets.

    Result: Fair Value of A$55.50 (UNDERVALUED)

    Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what’s behind the forecasts.

    However, you still have to weigh risks such as a structural slump in Chinese steel demand or cost blowouts at Jansen that could undercut the copper and potash story.

    Find out about the key risks to this BHP Group narrative.

    Another angle on BHP’s valuation

    Bailey’s A$55.50 fair value hangs on a narrative view, but our DCF model paints a much tougher picture. It puts BHP closer to A$38.98, which screens as overvalued relative to its current A$52.81 share price. Which framework do you trust more for a long term call?

    Look into how the SWS DCF model arrives at its fair value.
