The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Jan. 10, edition that RBC Dominion Securities analyst Sam Crittenden has reaffirmed his "outperform" recommendation and $12 share target for Capstone Copper. The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Crittenden says in a note: "We see potential for downside to Capstone's Q4 results and 2025 guidance release. We anticipate both production and cost guidance could come in below current consensus estimates due to the slightly slower progress on costs of the ongoing ramp ups at both Mantoverde and Mantos Blancos which could continue into 2025 and be reflected in more conservative guidance. However, following the guidance release, we see a constructive set-up for Capstone as we think shares could continue to rerate toward larger-cap peers as production growth and cost improvements are delivered on. Key catalysts in 2025 include finalizing the ramp up at MVDP, bringing in a partner at Santo Domingo (mid-year), receipt of MV Optimized permit (mid-year), and a Mantos Blancos Phase II study (H2/25)." The Globe reported on Aug. 23 that Stifel analyst Cole McGill rated Capstone Copper "buy." It was then worth $9.72.
