カナダ国立銀行はアリゾナ・メタルズの投資判断を「セクター・パフォーム」に引き下げ、目標株価を0.25カナダドルに引き下げた。

-- カナダ国立銀行は木曜日、アリゾナ・メタルズ（AMC.TO）の投資判断を「アウトパフォーム」から「セクター・パフォーム」に引き下げ、目標株価も0.90カナダドルから0.25カナダドルに引き下げた。 同行によると、今回の変更は資産NAVPSの0.4倍に企業調整を加えたものに基づいている。 アリゾナ・メタルズは先日、アリゾナ州のケイ・プロジェクトに関する予備経済評価の結果を発表した。同行によると、この評価は高コストと複雑な難処理冶金プロセスのため、期待を下回る結果となった。 同行はベースケースモデルを更新し、ケイ・プロジェクトをゼロと評価した。これにより、シュガーローフ・ピーク鉱区における今後の探査に7,500万米ドルの潜在資源額が計上されることになる。 カナダ国立銀行は「今後、アリゾナ・メタルズは探査目標に再び注力する前に、期待値を再調整するのにしばらく時間を要すると予想される」と述べた。「今後の上昇機会は、主に商品価格の動向と、掘削許可および資金調達能力を前提とした探査機会の特定によって左右されると予想される。」 アリゾナ・メタルズの株価は、金曜日のトロント証券取引所での最終取引時点で1株あたり0.29ドルだった。

In a Thursday note, S&P Global analysts said Europe has benefited from "significant demand destruction elsewhere," noting that although the war has effectively removed about 20% of global LNG supply, European imports have remained broadly steady.The note said Asia has absorbed much of the demand adjustment. It said China recorded a 19% year-on-year drop in LNG imports in March, according to government data.Benchmark LNG prices remain elevated, but off recent highs, they said. The JKM benchmark for Northeast Asia put prices at $18.309/MMBtu on April 30, up 8.3% on the day. The DES Northwest Europe LNG marker was assessed at $15.719 per MMBtu on Apr. 29, up 7.9% day-on-day.The analysts said both benchmarks remain above pre-conflict levels but have retreated from peaks seen in the early weeks of the disruption.European storage levels remain below last year's levels. Gas Infrastructure Europe reported inventories at 32.49% as of Friday, compared with 39.22% a year earlier.CERA analysts project EU storage could reach about 80% by the end of October under a base-case scenario, assuming a resumption of steady Hormuz transit by Jun. 1.EU LNG imports rose slightly year over year in March, supported by cargoes already en route when the conflict began in late February, according to CERA data. However, that buffer has since faded, with April imports down roughly 6.9% from 2025 levels.Looking ahead, Severe Weather Europe said Friday it is monitoring the potential development of a "super El Nino" pattern. One scenario that could develop would be an increase in the risk of dry conditions and drought across Central Europe this summer.
