-- Battery Mineral Resources (BMR.V) 週五表示，該公司位於安大略省東北部的四個勘探項目組合中，有「眾多」優先目標需要進一步勘探。 這四個項目——McAra、Gowganda、Shining Tree 和 Wilder——位於歷史悠久的銀鈷礦鎮 Cobalt 以西，Sudbury 市以北，統稱為 Cobalt 凹陷區。 所有四個項目都需要進行更多鑽探以更準確地確定資源量。此外，Battery 表示，Shining Tree 專案還需要對其他銀鈷目標進行後續勘探，並且由於其靠近西部的 Juby 金礦床，重新評估和勘探金礦將是優先事項。在 Wilder 項目，該公司正致力於勘探該礦區中部區域的接觸型銀鈷礦化。 根據一份聲明，科巴爾特凹陷區擁有超過70個銀鈷礦床，這些礦床已從科巴爾特、戈旺達和麋鹿湖礦區的高品位礦脈中累計產出5.25億盎司白銀和5000萬磅鈷。 「公司迄今為止在收購和勘探方面的投資已發現了新的鈷礦資源和眾多高優先級目標。鑑於目前對貴金屬和關鍵礦產的關注，進一步勘探安大略省的資產代表著創造更多價值的機會。我們已收到多家第三方對這些礦產的意向書，BMR將繼續評估各種方案，以最大限度地提高股東價值。」首席執行官拉茲·尼基亞斯表示。 週四，電池礦產資源公司（BMR）的股票在多倫多證券交易所創業板收盤下跌0.005美元，至0.175美元。

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Opinion On Shares Of Otis Worldwide Corporation
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We cut our 12-month target to $90 from $100 following Q1 earnings, valuing OTIS shares at 19.6x our 2027 EPS outlook of $4.58 (down from $4.70; 2026 EPS view updated to $4.18 from $4.25), a modest discount to industrial machinery peers' and OTIS's five-year forward multiple average given unclear timing of ongoing margin headwinds. Service margins were disappointing in Q1 (contracting 160 bps to 23%) amid higher labor and material costs that came in above pricing. Weakness in China has yet to stabilize, though as noted in the past, this represents a shrinking area of OTIS's portfolio and will have a more limited effect going forward. Overall, the latest quarter was more of the same (China weakness/New Equipment decline), though with the added concern of margin quality being pressured within Service - the core profit driver for OTIS overall. While efforts to shore up profitability are underway, we see timing of recovery being uncertain.

Petro Rabigh emerged from a loss in the first quarter, while Thob Al Aseel logged a higher net profit and revenue."The reason for net profit reported during the current quarter compared to a net loss recorded in the same quarter of last year was primarily attributable to improved product margins resulting from stronger refined product pricing and higher sales volumes," Petro Rabigh said in its report.Petro Rabigh rose 10% at closing, while Thob Al Aseel ticked down 1.59%.Meanwhile, the local calendar will be mostly empty except for the kingdom's preliminary figures for its GDP growth rate for the first quarter and the M3 money supply and private bank lending data for March on Thursday.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Shares Of United Rentals Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lift our 12-month target price to $1,100 from $950 following a strong first quarter, valuing shares at 20.5x our 2027 EPS outlook of $54.28 (in line with previous estimate; 2026 EPS also in line). We believe a higher multiple is justified given URI's firming market leadership within an expanding rental equipment industry. A robust Q1 beat enabled URI to raise its full-year revenue guidance to $16.9B-$17.4B and adjusted EBITDA to $7.625B-$7.875B, citing momentum heading into a busy season. With leverage well below historical levels, we believe accretive M&A deals could serve as a potential catalyst for additional guidance increases. Margin compression has been a sticky issue for URI, but Q1 indicated that pricing may have turned around and that headwinds are starting to ease as quarterly results begin to lap when tariff-related inflation began to pick-up. We remain cautious on margins, though are encouraged by signs of stabilization. New project activity is likely supporting pricing trends, in our view.
