5N Plus Posts Higher Profit, Revenue for First Quarter; Adjusted EBITDA Guidance Maintained

By

-- 5N Plus (VNP.TO) after trade Wednesday said its first-quarter profit and revenue rose year-over year.

The company earned US$17.8 million, or US$0.20 per share, in the period, up from US$9.6 million, or US$0.11, a year prior. FactSet expected US$0.14 per share.

Revenue rose to US$117.9 million from US$88.9 million a year ago. FactSet projected US$104 million. The company said the increase was mainly driven by higher volumes under Specialty Semiconductors and higher bismuth-based product pricing under Performance Materials.

The company added that it is maintaining its adjusted EBITDA outlook range at between US$100 and US$105 million in 2026.

"In 2026, 5N+ continues to expect demand in Specialty Semiconductors to remain strong, supported by structural expansion across its core end markets, with particular strength in its strategic sectors of terrestrial renewable energy and space solar power. These trends, combined with the company's position as the leading global supplier of ultra-high-purity specialty semiconductor compounds outside China, are expected to continue supporting long-term growth in this segment," 5N said.

The company's shares closed up $0.85 to $36.05 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Research Alert: Metlife, Inc. Q1 Eps Tops Expectations On Broad-based Growth

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:MET posted Q1 operating EPS of $2.42 versus $1.96 last year, topping our $2.20 estimate and the $2.27 consensus view. Q1 operating revenues rose 6.5% to $19.7B due to a 5% rise in premiums and 10% higher net investment income, while full-year 2025 revenue growth of 8.7% exceeded our 2%-6% forecast. We are encouraged by broad-based above-peer growth rates despite lower pension risk transfer (PRT) activity, with premium and fee revenues excluding PRT growing 10% and strong results across segments including Group Benefits (+19% earnings), Asia (+31%), and Investment Management (+68%). We look for management to provide outlook on 2026 PRT activity and employee benefits demand on tomorrow's conference call. Despite PRT volatility, we view the results as encouraging given MET's ability to generate solid underlying growth, return $1.1B to shareholders in Q1, and deliver strong performance in its asset management unit amid an uncertain business climate.
