IsoEnergy Maintained at Buy a Stifel Canada Following Larocque-East Drill Results; Price Target Kept at C$27.00

By

Stifel Canada on Wednesday maintained its buy rating on the shares of IsoEnergy (ISO.TO) and its C$27.00 price target after the company reported drilling results from its Larocque-East project in northern Saskatchewan.

"Winter 2026 drilling at Larocque-East returned a high-grade step-out intercept along the Hurricane South Trend in Hole LE26-248 that returned 4.21% U3O8 over 3.5m within the newly re-interpreted L-Fault Zone. Other supporting intercepts include 2.75% U3O8 over 0.5m (LE26-234) and 1.75% U3O8 over 0.5m (LE26-243) with mineralization now confirmed across an approx. strike of 540m. Results exceed the prior-best step-out of 1.71% U3O8 over 0.5m at LE25-207 in both grade and width. A summer 2026 follow-up program of approx. 8,000m in 20 holes will target further South Trend expansion. Hurricane is situated approx. 40km from the McClean Lake mill in shallow mineralization (approx. 325m depth) along a regional structure that holds the Cameco/Orano JV Dawn Lake target. The current Hurricane Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) stands at 48.6Mln lbs at 34.5% U3O8 (Indicated) and 2.7Mln lbs at 2.2% U3O8 (Inferred)," analyst Ralph Profiti wrote..

Research Alert: CFRA Retains Buy Opinion On Shares Of Atmos Energy Corporation

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We trim our 12-month target by $1 to $204, 22.7x our next-12-month EPS estimate of $9.00, a premium to peers and above ATO's five-year historical forward average of 19.1x given our positive fundamental outlook for gas utilities and supportive customer growth trends in ATO's service territory. ATO's guidance update exceeded our expectations, raising its FY 26 EPS guidance to an $8.45 midpoint, up from the prior $8.25 midpoint. We lift our FY 26 EPS estimate by $0.27 to $8.52, above the guidance midpoint given ATO's track record of exceeding targets. We also lift FY 27 EPS by $0.25 to $9.08. Our expectation of rising gas demand in Texas is actively playing out, with the company adding over 51,000 new customers in the last 12 months (39,000+ in Texas alone), including 800 commercial and four industrial customers in Q2 alone. Customer growth supports gas distribution volumes and can create additional opportunities for capital investment and subsequent rate increases, in our view.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Rating On Shares Of Paramount Resources Ltd.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We maintain our Hold rating and increase our target price to CAD34 from CAD31. This was based on an expanded multiple (7.2x vs. 6.8x) and better expected EBITDA margins in 2027. Multiple production guidance increases over the last two quarters suggest Paramount Resources (POU) will continue to execute through its significant investment cycle during 2027. Production guidance for 2026 was raised to 48,000-52,000 boe/d (50% liquids) from the prior 46,000-51,000 boe/d range, due to well performance and an earlier Alhambra phase 2 start-up, while the company reduced its 2026 capital expenditure guidance by CAD50M to CAD1,000M-CAD1,100M. We think this level of execution justifies our premium multiple of 7.2x vs. the long-term average of 4.7x. The recent ARX deal also adds a takeout premium to Western Canadian gas players, which POU may benefit from as the energy crisis drags on. We raise our 2026 EPS forecast to CAD1.10 from CAD0.85 and lower our 2027 EPS forecast to CAD1.09 from CAD1.22.
