Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:POW reported strong Q1 2026 adjusted EPS of CAD1.43 vs. CAD1.22 a year ago, reflecting broad-based strength across most operating segments and matching our CAD1.42 estimate and the CAD1.43 consensus view. Net earnings from continuing operations rose 19% to CAD820M, while EPS increased nearly 21% to CAD1.29 vs. CAD1.07 in the prior-year period, demonstrating solid operational execution. The results highlight POW's ability to deliver consistent performance across its diversified portfolio of operating companies.

The robust performance across most business segments reflects the resilience of POW's operating model and the underlying strength of its key subsidiaries.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:FNV reported Q1 adjusted EPS of $2.38 vs. $1.07 prior year, $0.30 above consensus, with record revenue of $650.7M (+77% Y/Y) driven by gold averaging $4,875/oz (+70% Y/Y) and silver at $84.39/oz (+165% Y/Y). Adjusted EBITDA margins expanded to 91.0% from 87.4%, generating record adjusted EBITDA of $591.9M (+84% Y/Y). We believe FNV's capital-light model provides superior leverage to commodity prices while avoiding operational risks including cost inflation and technical challenges. Management maintained 2026 guidance of 510,000-570,000 GEOs, with ~90% from precious metals. Recent acquisitions totaling ~$515M, including i-80 Gold ($250M) and Casa Berardi ($100M), enhance growth while maintaining the debt-free balance sheet with $3.4B available capacity. Panama's authorization to process Cobre Panama stockpiled ore provides optionality, with potential for 150,000-175,000 annual GEOs if full restart occurs, though timing remains uncertain.
