CS: Later Mantoverde Inflection Will Support Future Margin Upside Potential

Capstone Copper's updated narrative reflects a modest reset in analyst expectations, with recent Street research trimming individual price targets into a CA$15.50 to CA$19.00 range as analysts factor in lower projected revenue growth, higher discount rates, and a later production and cost inflection tied to Mantoverde, while still assuming stronger profit margins and a lower future P/E multiple.
