Aya Gold & Silver (TSX:AYA) released an updated preliminary economic assessment for its Boumadine Project, reporting a doubled after-tax NPV. The new study outlines a higher IRR, as well as a longer projected mine life for Boumadine. Updated assumptions include increased metal payability, which management says improves long-term project economics. This kind of step-change in project economics is not unique to Aya Gold & Silver. It can be useful to compare it with peers exposed to similar...

Empire stock has delivered a strong 43.8% gain over the past three years, yet both the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) intrinsic value estimate and market multiple checks currently point to the shares trading at a premium rather than offering obvious value. With the DCF implying the stock is priced about 48.7% above that intrinsic estimate and all six valuation checks leaning the same way, the market is paying up for Empire’s recent progress. The 43.8% return over three years highlights that long...

Oil has suddenly become front page news again, with WTI above $100 and Brent topping $105 as the U.S. standoff with Iran disrupts shipping and pushes risk premia higher.

For anyone tracking the recent rally and the airline's expansion plans, the question is whether the recent price already builds in most of the good news.

TELUS stock moves after dividend reset and policy shift TELUS (TSX:T) has been in focus after a 55% dividend cut, a pause to dividend growth, a lower long term payout target, and reduced 2026 free cash flow guidance. Recent price action shows that TELUS has been under pressure, with the share price falling over the past quarter and year to date, and the 1 year total shareholder return also declining sharply.
