Citi rates EVN as Neutral
Citi updated its forecast on the gold price, maintaining its view for "peak gold" in 1Q2026, but lifting long-term price forecast to US$3,200/oz from US$3,000/oz.
The broker increased earnings forecasts for gold stocks by 20-30% for 2026-27, resulting in a lift in target prices. Citi believes structural risks, including US debt, USD status, Fed independence, will underpin prices.
The broker highlights gold equities imply US$2,950-3,650/oz via NAV/share prices versus spot around US$4,200/oz.
Target for Evolution Mining rises to $12.70 from $11.00. Neutral maintained.
The broker also shifted its view, now preferring Northern Star over Evolution Mining.
UBS rates NSR as Downgrade to Neutral from Buy
The previously confirmed offer by a consortium led by GIC-Brookfield for 100% of National Storage REIT has now progressed to a Scheme Implementation Deed.
As background, securityholders are offered $2.86 cash per security, reduced by the 6.0c 1H26 distribution. UBS notes National Storage REIT's board unanimously recommends voting in favour, subject to no superior offer and a positive independent expert report.
Completion is targeted for April 2026, with the broker seeing low risk of the transaction breaking at this stage.
Given limited upside to the bid, target rises to $2.80 from $2.57. Rating downgraded to Neutral from Buy.
Bell Potter rates RAD as Speculative Buy
Radiopharm Theranostics published an interim readout from the first 12 patients in a phase 2b study of RAD101 PET/MRI for detecting recurrence in intracranial metastases.
It showed 11/12 met the primary endpoint (agreement with gadolinium MRI), with case examples showing strong, selective tumour uptake and clear contrast, Bell Potter highlights.
Recruitment continues, with full 30-patient data plus 6-month MRI/biopsy confirmation expected mid-2026, supporting plans for a pivotal trial starting late 2026, the broker notes.
Speculative Buy. Target rises to 6c from 5c as the broker reckons the interim data considerably derisks future revenue stream.
