The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, Nov. 6, edition that Ventum Financial analyst Amr Ezzat continues to rank 5N Plus "buy." The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Ezzat gave his share target a $4.50 boost to $26. Analysts on average target the shares at $22.90. Mr. Ezzat says in a note: "5N Plus delivered another blockbuster quarter, reinforcing its position as one of the most strategically entrenched materials suppliers in the clean energy and solar ecosystems. Q3 EBITDA of $29.1-million beat our forecast by $12-million and Street by $11-million, driven by outsized margins in both specialty semiconductors and performance materials. Management raised full-year guidance to $85–million to $90-million (from $65–million to $70-million), resetting expectations materially above Street's pre-print view of $80-million. Despite the beat-and-raise, shares remain underappreciated, likely due to an implied Q4 guidance step-down, which management attributed to pulled-forward OpEx and seasonal normalization in bismuth. We view this as prudent derisking ahead of another strong year in 2026. Overall, we remain constructive on the long-term setup. Secular tailwinds in solar and space are intact."
