The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday, Aug. 5, edition that National Bank Financial analyst Shane Nagle has reaffirmed his "outperform" recommendation for Capstone Copper. The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Nagle tweaked his share target ahead by 50 cents to $17. Analysts on average target the shares at $18.20. Mr. Nagle says in a note: "We have incorporated Q2 financial results, advancement of the pyrite augmentation project at Mantoverde in 2027/2028 and adopted improved ramp-up assumptions for Mantoverde given strong performance to date. The improvement in our estimates has supported a modest target increase. ... We reiterate our 'outperform' rating given the company's discounted valuation, reduced cost pressures through H2/26 and our positive long-term growth outlook." The Globe reported on Sept. 25, 2025, April 16, 2026, May 1, 2026, and July 15, 2026, that Mr. Nagle continued to rate Capstone Copper "outperform." The shares could then be had for $11.47, $12.69, $11.26 and $13.10.
