-- 加拿大礦產勘探公司Mink Ventures（股票代碼：MINK.V）週三表示，該公司在獲得安大略省沃倫鎳銅鈷項目的初步航空電磁（VTEM）勘測數據後，已確定了八個新的高優先級鑽探目標。 Mink補充道，在計畫A區近期進行的2026年鑽探中，在塊狀硫化物帶內發現了鎳、銅和鈷礦化，這表明該礦區可能存在更大規模的岩漿硫化物礦化帶。 該公司指出，近期取得的航空數據涵蓋了VTEM勘測尚未完成的礦區西部區域。 該公司表示，VTEM的穿透深度可達500米，能夠更好地確定潛在的塊狀硫化物礦化目標，類似A區發現的礦化帶。 A區近期鑽探結果顯示，礦體厚度為7.1米，鎳品位為0.44%，銅品位為0.28%，鈷品位為0.06%。報告補充道，其中包括一段4公尺長的高品位礦段，鎳品位為0.58%，銅品位為0.18%，鈷品位為0.08%。 執行長娜塔莎·迪克森表示：“勘測數據確定了八個全新的、高優先級的鑽探目標，這些目標均已獲得所有許可並做好鑽探準備，這將使我們的團隊能夠更好地指導我們在沃倫礦區的下一輪勘探和鑽探工作。”

PayPal's Weaker Q2, Full-Year Guidance Reinforce Lack of Operating Inflection, BofA Says
PayPal's (PYPL) Q1 results topped estimates, with upside partially driven by share repurchases, but weaker-than-expected Q2 guidance and the decision to reiterate full-year guidance suggest no clear operating inflection, BofA Securities said Wednesday.Management reiterated confidence in PayPal's two-sided network, global scale and brands, while outlining more than $1.5 billion in run-rate cost savings over the next two to three years as part of a broader reset, according to the note.Investor reaction was tempered by a weaker near-term outlook for Q2 and fiscal 2026, the reinvestment of most savings rather than near-term earnings upside, and confirmation that business resegmentation will not begin until next year, the brokerage said.BofA updated its price objective to $53 from $55, based on a 9x multiple of its revised adjusted second-12-month earnings per share estimate of $5.86, up from $5.46.BofA maintained a neutral rating on PayPal.Price: $46.74, Change: $+0.26, Percent Change: +0.56%

Research Alert: CFRA Lifts View On Shares Of H.f. Sinclair To Buy From Hold
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Our 12-month target price of $87, raised $31, reflects a combination of relative valuation and DCF models. On a relative basis, we apply a 7.0x multiple of enterprise value to projected 2027 EBITDA. The applied multiple is above DINO's historical forward average, but below peers. We think a modest discount to peers is reasonable on the basis of below-average return on invested capital. Still, a multiple above normal levels for DINO is also reasonable, because we think refining margins will be high in both 2026 and 2027. This approach yields a value of $85 per share. Meanwhile, our DCF model, using medium-term free cash flow growth of 5%, 2% terminal growth, discounted at a WACC of 7.2%, yields intrinsic value of $89 per share. We lift our 2026 EPS estimate by $2.87 to $7.30 and 2027's by $1.66 to $6.26. In our view, DINO has above-average exposure to middle distillates, which is where we think refining margins will be relatively stronger. Shares yield 2.8%.
