Chris LaFemina has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Ivanhoe Electric Inc.’s strategic developments and potential growth prospects. The company has received a significant expression of interest from the Export-Import Bank of the United States for financing its Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona, which aligns with the bank’s initiative to boost domestic production of critical minerals like copper. This financial backing is seen as a positive step as Ivanhoe Electric approaches the completion of its Preliminary Feasibility Study and advances in project permitting and engineering.
Furthermore, Ivanhoe Electric is positioned to become a major, cost-effective, and environmentally conscious copper producer in the United States. The company, under the leadership of Robert Friedland, has a promising portfolio of projects in key regions, including Arizona and Utah. While these projects are still in the early stages, they offer unique advantages and potential that are not yet fully captured in current valuations. Despite the inherent risks of early-stage projects, the anticipated progress in project development and the potential for long-term copper price increases are expected to enhance the company’s stock value, making it an attractive investment for those with a long-term perspective.
In another report released on April 10, J.P. Morgan also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $13.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 25 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is positive on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders buying their shares of IE in relation to earlier this year.
