BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 09/19/25 10:51 AM EDT10:51 AM EDT, 09/19/2025 (MT Newswires) -- National Bank of Canada Thursday kept Capstone Copper
Capstone announced that sulfide copper production at the Mantoverde mine in Chile has returned to full operating rates following a disruption due to a motor failure in the ball mill.
The bank based the outperform rating on its positive long-term growth outlook for the company as it sees expansion opportunities and potential cost savings through the MV-SD district integration plan, as well as several near-mine exploration opportunities to provide further scale.
National Bank based the price target on a multiple of 1.10x NAV (50%) + 6.5x EV/2026E CF (50%).
"While we believe CS is well-positioned longer term, the company's elevated costs through 2025 and commitment to [Mantoverde Optimized project] somewhat defer a significant free cash flow inflection at current prices until early next year," the bank said.
Capstone traded at $10.04 per share at last look Friday on the TSX.
Price: 10.07, Change: +0.11, Percent Change: +1.10
