- 5 Non-Ferrous Metal Mining Stocks to Watch in a Challenging Industry
Zacks says prospects for the Mining - Non Ferrous industry remain challenged by volatile metal prices, rising costs, labor shortages and supply-chain issues, though demand is expected to be supported by the energy-transition trend. Copper futures slipped toward $6.50 per pound for a second straight session, gold fell below $4,000 per ounce, silver dropped below $51, and uranium stayed near six-month highs around $90 per pound. Miners face higher electricity, water, materials and freight costs, so they are focusing on cost reduction and digital innovation, while demand is driven by electric vehicles, renewable energy and the U.S. Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The industry carries a Zacks Industry Rank of #188 out of 247, placing it in the bottom 24% and indicating dull near-term prospects. The article highlights Southern Copper (SCCO), Freeport-McMoRan (FCX), First Quantum Minerals (FQVLF), Lundin Mining (LUNMF) and Centrus Energy (LEU) as companies to watch.
- What Changed In Newmont's Story?
Newmont trades at 12.7 times earnings versus 22.8 for the S&P 500, and its strategy has moved from shrinking the portfolio to reinvesting, with the Red Chris project and production growth from 2027 now in focus. The five smaller mines that were divested each reported roughly three-quarters less revenue a year later, and management said its asset divestment program is complete. Red Chris was 2.3% of fiscal 2025 revenue, with development capital estimated at $4.2 billion to $4.8 billion and commercial production targeted for 2033. Free cash flow reached $10.1 billion over the twelve months to September 2026, but fell to $1.91 billion in fiscal Q3 2026 from $3.14 billion in fiscal Q1, and unit costs are expected to rise in 2027 partly because silver output at Penasquito is expected to be about 30% lower. The article says free cash flow is the key measure to watch when Newmont reports in February 2027, alongside the Red Chris funding decision expected early in 2027.

- Pinnacle Silver and Gold plans 16-hole drill program at Potrero
Pinnacle Silver & Gold (PINN) plans a 16-hole diamond drilling program totalling 1,876.5 metres in Phase 1 at its Potrero project in Durango, Mexico, to test a possible extension of the nearby Topia mine system. Holes will target four areas on the MF2 concession, and grab samples from an artisanal mine dump at Las Guasimas returned grades of up to 3.21 g/t gold, 349 g/t silver, 3.49% lead and 5.30% zinc. The company plans to submit a drill permit application within two weeks and expects a response within 90 days, which would allow drilling to begin in the first quarter of 2027 if approved on that timeline. Pinnacle said favourable results from the MF2 program would support a larger follow-up campaign to delineate the mineralization.

At the CCH Connections 2026 event in Orlando, Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting brought together leaders from Microsoft, Salesforce, McKinsey and Sandra Wiley Strategies to discuss how accounting firms should adopt agentic AI.

The session closed by challenging each leader to set priorities for the next 12 months and choose one practical move to make within 90 days.

- Worried About Crypto Hacks? Buy Bitcoin Proxies in Stock Market Instead, Say Wall Street Firms
Analysts at Cantor Fitzgerald, TD Cowen and Compass Point say the roughly $6.3 billion Binance hack, the largest crypto theft ever, is unlikely to derail the broader market's recovery. Cantor's Ramsey El-Assal noted stablecoin issuers froze about $3 billion of the stolen funds, including over $1.5 billion by Tether, and said he would buy on weakness, expecting Coinbase, Robinhood and Strategy shares to recover. TD Cowen views the breach as a Binance security problem rather than a Bitcoin one, while Compass Point says Binance has more than enough liquidity to cover the shortfall, though reimbursements could strain stablecoin supply. Moody's Ratings is more cautious, citing hot-wallet cybersecurity risks and concentration risk at centralized intermediaries, with broader impact depending on final losses and confidence. Binance has set aside $6.34 billion to cover losses, the Secret Service and FBI have opened a probe, and TRM and Chainalysis link the hack to North Korea's TraderTraitor group.
