-- 加拿大皇家银行资本市场（RBC Capital Markets）周一将餐饮品牌国际公司（Restaurant Brands International，股票代码：QSR.TO）的目标股价从83美元上调至90美元，并维持“跑赢大盘”评级。 RBC表示，快餐品牌国际公司（QSR）的积极势头延续到了第一季度，其中汉堡王和国际业务近期表现尤为突出。 RBC认为，由于持续的翻新改造、菜单创新以及针对关键消费群体的更有效的营销，汉堡王美国业务仍有进一步提升的空间。 RBC指出，汉堡王在国际市场的主要销售增长势头强劲，市场普遍预期较为保守。 与此同时，RBC表示，蒂姆·霍顿斯（Tim Hortons）可能会受到加拿大人口增长放缓的影响，尽管其近期表现优异，但仍有上涨空间。 截至周二纽约证券交易所的最后交易日，餐饮品牌国际公司的股价为每股78.92美元。

Carnaby Resources (ASX:CNB) continues to be undervalued relative to its peers and given its production potential, Euroz Hartleys said in a Tuesday note, adding that the market may have missed a near-term production opportunity.The company has commenced a roughly 3,000 meters reverse circulation drilling program at its Greater Duchess copper gold project in Queensland, targeting extensions of high-priority mineralization at the Trekelano deposit.In addition, more assay results from a recently completed diamond drilling program are also pending, providing near-term news flow alongside the current drilling program, the equity research firm said.Leveraging its binding tolling and offtake deals with Glencore provides a low capital pathway to first production for Carnaby, and the first three years of production on Euroz Hartleys' modeling should come from lower-risk open pit reserves in the Trekelano, Mt Hope and Lady Fanny operations, it said.The equity research firm maintain a speculative buy recommendation on the stock with a price target of AU$0.96.
