MiniLuxe Holding Announces Non-Brokered Private Placement of US$3.5 Million to US$5 Million

By

MiniLuxe Holding (MNLX.V) announced a non-brokered private placement of Class A subordinate voting shares on Wednesday.

The subordinate voting shares will be offered at a price of US$0.58 each for gross proceeds of between US$3.5 million and US$5 million with a midpoint of the range as its target, said the company and added that the private placement has already signed commitments that exceed its threshold range of US$3.5 million.

A closing of the offering is expected by June 5, or such other date as the investors and the company may agree upon and is subject to the completion of formal documentation and the company receiving all necessary regulatory approvals, including the final approval of the TSXV, added the company.

The proceeds will be used to fund growth initiatives especially the opening of new studios and providing the flexibility to take on new strategic acquisitions or JV (joint venture) locations, said the company.

"We are humbled and grateful to have found partners who represent strategic capital that comes alongside proven track records of executing and scaling growth businesses," said Tony Tjan, Chief Executive Officer of MiniLuxe. "Across its recent private placements, the Company has been selective in finding partners with the disposition and capacity to be long-term oriented and with the capability to take an independent view of the intrinsic value of the business."

The company's shares were last seen unchanged at $0.295 on the TSX Venture Exchange.

Neo Performance Materials Maintained at Buy at Stifel Canada After Q1 Results; Price Target Raised to C$38.00

Stifel Canada on Wednesday reiterated its buy rating on the shares of Neo Performance Materials (NEO.TO) while raising its price target to C$38.00 from C$26.00 following the company's first-quarter results."NEO's 1Q26 EBITDA beat consensus by 89% while its midpoint 2026E EBITDA guidance was raised by 35% to $105 mm. In our view, the updated guidance only reflects a strong 2Q26E and does not assume any positive impact from elevated rare metals prices in 2H26E. We believe investor concerns around working capital build is overdone, as NEO's business model allows for inventory to be passed through to customers with a margin and there is little risk of negative financial impact. Key catalysts include: (1) sanctioning of Estonia Phase 1B; (2) further details on the Estonia HRE expansion; and (3) additional debottlenecking in Magnequench at Korat, Thailand. We are increasing our target price to $38.00/sh due to a 17% increase in our 2027E EBITDA and expanding our target EV/EBITDA multiple to 12.0x (prior: 10.0x)," analyst Ian Gillies wrote.(covers equity, commodity and economic research from major banks and research firms in North America, Asia and Europe.

CIBC Confirms Neutral Rating on Pet Valu and Cuts It Price Target to $22.00 on Q1 Results

CIBC Capital Markets maintained its neutral rating on the shares of Pet Valu Holdings (PET.TO) and lowered its price target to C$22.00 from $28.00 after the company reported its first quarter-financial results on Tuesday.The bank said the core issue is "macro as opposed to execution, though PET's price/promo positioning remains a headwind." CIBC reduced its earnings forecasts in line with management's updated outlook and now forecasts 10% growth in 2027."Though we believe valuation reflects substantial pessimism, we do not see a visible catalyst to push shares higher in the near-term (outside of a privatization)," said analyst Mark Petrie. "While there are understandable explanations for the pressures, we believe it will take PET some time to re-build investor confidence in medium-term growth potential."The bank also reduced its target multiple on the company to 13x, taking its price target to C$22.00."We have never been of the view that PET was a particularly strong fit with a strategic acquirer (such as CTC or EMP), but given the share price and compressed valuation, it could be an attractive target for a financial sponsor that could cut costs and push it into a franchise," added Petrie.(covers equity, commodity and economic research from major banks and research firms in North America, Asia and Europe.
