Metals &amp; Mining Companies Are Looking For Ways To Be More ESG-Friendly

ORBEC GOLD MINES INC by Orbec Gold Mines Inc.

Mines D`or Orbec Inc

The National Health Service (NHS) has prescribed Novo Nordisk A/S&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) weight-loss drug Wegovy far less often than anticipated, struggling with a shortage of weight management clinics required to distribute the popular treatment.
Since its launch, the drug has been prescribed just 3,300 times, significantly below the 13,500 patients expected to receive it in its first year, according to a Financial Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/0b125a3c-6b82-4703-b8a8-e28f7f1aa3ea" rel="noreferrer noopener">analysis</a> of NHS England data.
Demand for Wegovy is set to increase following the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency&#8217;s (MHRA) approval for its use in reducing the risk of serious heart problems or strokes in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39915631/britains-drug-regulator-approves-novo-nordisks-weight-loss-drug-wegovy-to-cut-heart-disease-risk-" rel="noreferrer noopener">overweight and obese adults</a>.
Despite this, the drug is in short supply internationally. The NHS has prioritized supplies of Ozempic, another drug by Novo Nordisk that uses the same active ingredient but is designated for type-2 diabetes, over Wegovy.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39864734/craze-for-ozempic-and-zepbound-for-weight-loss-leave-diabetic-patients-without-critical-glp-1-med" rel="noreferrer noopener">Craze For Ozempic And Zepbound For Weight Loss Leave Diabetic Patients Without Critical GLP-1 Medications</a>.
The shortfall in Wegovy prescriptions is also attributed to the lack of specialist NHS weight-loss services.
According to the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines, the NHS can prescribe Wegovy through these services to people with a BMI over 35 or over 30 with another weight-related condition for up to two years.
However, there are only around 20 of these &#8220;tier 3&#8221; services across the U.K., with some NHS trusts reporting long waiting lists.
NHS prescriptions of Wegovy have increased each month since its approval in the U.K. last year, reaching approximately 770 in April.
This number is likely to rise further, with an estimated 4 million Britons expected to meet the drug guidelines by 2027.
NICE anticipates nearly 50,000 patients annually will receive semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy, via the NHS.
Despite prioritizing Ozempic supply to ensure type-2 diabetes patients receive necessary treatment, citing Novo Nordisk, the FT report stated it has &#8220;made it a priority to provide a protected supply of Wegovy to the NHS.&#8221;
However, the company did not disclose the number of drugs available through the health service.
In the U.K., GLP-1 drugs, including Wegovy, are expected to be in short supply until at least the end of 2024.
Price Action: NVO shares are trading lower by 1.46% to $131.34 at the last check on Wednesday.

UK's NHS Prescribes Weight-Loss Drug Wegovy Less Than Expected Due To Service Shortages

Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) shares are trading lower&nbsp;after the company reported worse-than-<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39908857/comcasts-q2-earnings-studios-and-theme-parks-pull-revenue-lower-broadband-and-video-subs-fall" rel="noreferrer noopener">expected&nbsp;second-quarter sales results yesterday</a>.
The company reported a revenue decline of 2.7% year-over-year to $29.69 billion, missing the&nbsp;analyst consensus estimate of $30.02 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.21, beating&nbsp;analyst consensus estimates of $1.12.
BofA Securities analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlic reiterated a Buy rating <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CMCSA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price target of $50</a>.
Although it&#8217;s early in the quarter and most ACP activity will be in the third quarter, the analyst is reducing the broadband net loss forecast to -150k from -165k due to positive customer response, Comcast&#8217;s targeted segmentation, and favorable seasonality.
Ehrlic revised the 2024 broadband net loss forecast to -415k (from -485k). For C&amp;P, revenue is expected to be flat (0.0%) with a 1.5% EBITDA increase (previously 1.3%), and C&amp;E revenue growth is revised to 2.1% (from 5%) with an 8% EBITDA decline (previously 2.8% growth) due to lower Theme Park and Media forecasts, especially from reduced Olympic profitability.
The analyst now projects 2024 EBITDA to be flat (previously 1.1% growth), EPS is updated to $4.20, and FCF is revised to $11.1 billion.
KeyBanc Capital Markets analyst Brandon Nispel reiterated the Overweight rating and lowered the price target to $44 from $45.
The analyst writes that near-term catalysts are elusive, with challenges in Theme Park growth and Peacock loss improvement due to lower domestic park attendance and the NBA contract.
Nispel writes that they remain positive on CMCSA&#8217;s efficient Broadband operations and modest growth, though short-term subscriber trends are challenging and recovery timelines are pushed out.
The analyst expects low-single-digit operating cash flow growth, reduced capital spending in 2025, and FCF growth (excluding one-time Hulu tax payments), which should lead to shareholder returns despite ongoing competitive challenges.
Oppenheimer analyst Timothy Horan reaffirmed the Outperform rating with a price target of $55.
The analyst writes that main concern is high broadband losses due to increasing FWA/fiber competition, impacting Video/Voice subscribers.
While the company offers aggressive bundled promotions, the analyst adds that it remains focused on FCF generation. He projects subscriber trends to remain volatile in the near term.

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) shares are trading lower Wednesday as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39933993/nasdaq-down-2-alphabet-posts-upbeat-earnings">broader market pulls back.&nbsp;</a>
The Details:
The Nasdaq Composite is trading lower by nearly 400 points Wednesday following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39932395/tesla-stock-is-sliding-wednesday-whats-going-on">disappointing earnings</a> from Tesla and Alphabet on Tuesday. Investors may be considering whether the mega cap tech stocks, including Meta, can continue to support a large percentage of the overall market's growth.&nbsp;

What Else:&nbsp;
Meta announced the launch of its latest version of its "Llama" AI software on Tuesday which the company touts as the first openly available model that rivals top AI models in general knowledge, steerability, math, tool use and multilingual translation.
Llama&#8217;s software is used to power "Meta AI" a chatbot <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/07/39915337/mark-zuckerberg-takes-aim-at-elon-musk-sam-altman-with-big-ai-aspirations-through-metas-latest-llama">currently available</a> to users throughout Meta&#8217;s suite of applications, including Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.&nbsp;
In connection with Meta's latest Llama release, NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39915185/whats-going-on-with-nvidia-stock-tuesday"> announced a new </a>AI foundry and NIM inference microservices for the collection of openly available AI models.&nbsp;
"The new Llama 3.1 models are a super-important step for open source AI.

I'm excited to get this in people's hands," said Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Meta.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">META Stock Prediction 2024: </h2>
Equity research analysts on and off Wall Street typically use earnings growth and fundamental research as a form of valuation and forecasting. But many in trading turn to technical analysis as a way to form predictive models for share price trajectory.
Some investors look to trends to help forecast where they believe a stock could trade at a certain point in the future. Looking at Meta Platforms, an investor could make an assessment about a stock's long term prospects using a moving average and trend line. If they believe a stock will remain above the moving average, which many believe is a bullish signal, they can extrapolate that trend into the future using a trend line. For Meta Platforms, the 200-day moving average sits at $428.25, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, which is below the current price of $471.94. For more on charts and trend lines, <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">see a description here.</a>
Traders believe that when a stock is above its moving average, it is a generally bullish signal, and when it crosses below, it is a more negative signal. Investors could use trend lines to make an educated guess about where a stock could trade at a later date if conditions remain stable.
META Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Meta Platforms shares are down 5.45% at $462.06 at the time of publication Wednesday.

What's Going On With Meta Stock?

Editor&#8217;s note: This story has been updated to correct a misspelling of the word &#8220;steer.&#8221;
EV giant Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has crossed an important milestone on the way to rolling out its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/07/39870013/elon-musk-reacts-as-rapper-meek-mill-flexes-his-all-black-cybertruck-ahead-of-his-new-song-">stainless steel Cybertruck </a>in the neighboring country of Canada. 
What Happened: Canada granted the EV maker approval to use its steer-by-wire system in the country as required for testing. The technology, which does not meet the country&#8217;s specification for minimum steering angle, is only available on the company&#8217;s Cybertruck and not on any of its other offerings.
Tesla, however, will have to provide detailed semi-annual incident reports starting on January 18, the government said, while also meeting other regulatory demands.
&#8220;An important milestone on our way to Canada,&#8221; Cybertruck lead engineer Wes Morrill said about the green light from the Canadian government.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: The Cybertruck is the latest offering from Tesla. The company started delivering the trucks to U.S. customers in late November. 
Former Tesla executive Rohan Patel <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37304997/tesla-executive-sheds-light-on-cybertruck-availability-in-canada-have-to-file-some-routine-paperwork">confirmed earlier this year</a> that Tesla will indeed sell Cybertrucks in Canada. 
"No doubt we will sell Cybertruck in Canada- insanely huge interest,"&nbsp;Patel&nbsp;wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
"Have to file some routine paperwork, but hoping that can be wrapped up soon," he added. Patel was vice president of Public Policy and Business Development at Tesla. He left the company in April. 
Tesla&#8217;s Canadian website currently shows only an option to pre-order the Cybertruck for $150.

PGA Tour golfer Scottie Scheffler is soon to compete in his first Olympic games and hopes to get a win to complement his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/05/38897634/jailbird-ie-scottie-scheffler-snags-dave-portnoys-support-post-arrest-through-the-bowels-o">strong 2024 season.</a>
What Happened: Scheffler <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/06/39279133/2024-us-open-how-to-watch-betting-odds-key-narratives-of-scottie-scheffler-tiger-woods-phi">has been dominant</a> in the 2024 PGA Tour season, winning six tournaments, including the Players Championship and the Masters.
In 16 events, Scheffler <a href="https://www.pgatour.com/player/46046/scottie-scheffler">made </a>16 cuts and 14 top-10 finishes. Along with his six wins, Scheffler also has two runner-up finishes.
Scheffler is one of four golfers representing the U.S. at the 2024 Summer Olympics. Along with Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Wyndham Clark and Collin Morikawa will compete as members of Team USA.
The four golfers currently <a href="https://www.pgatour.com/stats/detail/186">rank </a>first, second, fifth and sixth in the PGA Tour rankings.
Here are the betting odds for the golfers in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, with betting odds from DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dkng#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>).
Scheffler: +330
Schauffele: +600
Morikawa: +1,000
Clark: +4,000
Scheffler is the betting favorite and Schauffele is tied for second-best betting odds with Rory McIlroy (Ireland), who ranks third in PGA Tour rankings. Clark is further down the list. Ludvig Aberg (Sweden) has the fifth-best odds of +1,200 and ranks fourth in the PGA Tour rankings. A total of 60 men&#8217;s golfers will compete in the tournament at the Olympics.

Why It's Important: Golf was an Olympic sport in the 1900 and 1904 games before taking a 112-year break. The sport was brought back as an Olympic sport in 2016 and this year's Olympics will be the third straight games with the competition.
The men's tournament will be <a href="https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/schedule/golf?day=1-august">held </a>from Aug. 1 through Aug. 4 with golfers competing for individual medals. Each day's competition takes place from 3 a.m. ET to 12 p.m. ET with Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) streaming the four days on Peacock.
American golfers have been dominant at the Olympics, <a href="https://www.nbcolympics.com/news/golf-101-olympic-history">winning </a>13 total medals and five gold medals in the past four Olympics, including men's and women's events.
Schauffele won a gold medal in the 2020 Summer Olympics and will look to defend his title. Morikawa finished fourth at the 2020 Summer Olympics, losing a bronze medal and third-place finish in a playoff.
Like Scheffler, Schauffele has been dominant in the 2024 PGA Tour season. The golfer <a href="https://www.pgatour.com/player/48081/xander-schauffele/results">made </a>18 cuts in 18 events and had two wins (PGA Championship, The Open Championship).
Scheffler and Schauffele are favorites for a reason and there is a good chance that at least one of them can add to America's Olympic medal count in the sport.

Scottie Scheffler, Gold Medalist? Golfer Looks To Turn 2024 PGA Tour Success Into A 2024 Olympic Medal

As Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) gears up for its Q3 2024 earnings report, all eyes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAPL/news">are on Cupertino, California</a>.
According to JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee, Apple is not just coasting on its past success but gearing up for a thrilling AI-driven future that could propel its stock to new heights. 
Chatterjee has placed Apple on a &#8216;Positive Catalyst Watch,&#8217; raising the price target to $265 by December 2025, up from the previous $245 for December 2024.
So, what's behind this optimistic outlook? Let's dive into the details.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">AI is Apple&#8217;s Next Ace</h3>
According to Chatterjee, Apple is in a strong position to leverage this upcoming AI cycle, particularly through its iPhone and overall revenue performance. 
"We expect Apple to reassure investors that the upcoming AI replacement cycle earmarked to begin in earnest in FY25 (Sep-end), and step-up further into FY26, is leveraging a more robust launchpad in FY24 with better than expected revenue drivers," says Chatterjee.
He expects a revenue beat for both iPhone sales and the company&#8217;s total revenue, which could ease investor concerns about Apple&#8217;s premium valuation multiple. For the third quarter, Chatterjee anticipates Apple&#8217;s revenue to reach $85.3 billion, slightly above the consensus of $84.3 billion. Earnings per share are expected to be $1.38, compared to the consensus of $1.34.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">iPhone To Be Key Apple Earnings&#8217; Driver</h3>
Notably, the iPhone is projected to be a key driver of this performance, with estimated sales of approximately 44 million units, leading to $39.9 billion in revenue, surpassing the consensus of $38.9 billion. Strong performance in China and other key regions is expected to contribute significantly to these numbers.
Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, Chatterjee forecasts revenue of $95.5 billion and earnings per share of $1.62, both ahead of the consensus estimates. This projection marks the second consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth, following a decline earlier this year. 
The iPhone, Services, and Mac segments are expected to lead the charge, while the Wearables, Home, and Accessories segment might experience some decline.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Apple&#8217;s AI Cycle: Underestimated or Overlooked?</h3>
While Apple&#8217;s stock has rallied in recent months, Chatterjee sees room for further upside. He believes that the AI cycle presents untapped opportunities, particularly in improving margins, increasing iPhone volumes, and potentially extending the replacement cycle beyond FY26.
Chatterjee believes there is untapped potential within Apple&#8217;s AI strategy. He outlines three key areas that investors might be underestimating:
<ol>
<li>Margin Boost: The preference for premium iPhones among early adopters has historically led to impressive gross margin improvements, and this trend could continue despite investor concerns about component costs. </li>
<li>Volume Expansion: The AI-driven upgrade cycle is not confined to North America. Apple's reach could extend globally, driving volumes beyond expectations and marking a departure from the patterns seen in the 5G cycle. </li>
<li>Prolonged Growth: With leading-edge AI features slated for iPhones post-FY26, Apple might witness an extended period of growth, possibly outstripping current expectations.</li>
</ol>
As Chatterjee states, &#8220;Our Dec-2025 price target of $265 only assumes a 26x earnings multiple on CY26 estimates as they already embed the tailwinds of the AI replacement cycle.&#8221;
With these factors in play, Apple&#8217;s upcoming earnings release could be the spark needed to propel its stock to new heights.

Analysts expect the fast-casual restaurant chain company to report earnings of 32 cents per share and revenue of $2.939 billion, according to estimates from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Alkermes (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/alks#NASDAQ">ALKS</a>) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.72 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.73 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.55 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -1.37%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this drugmaker would post earnings of $0.59 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.44, delivering a surprise of -25.42%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Alkermes, which belongs to the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry, posted revenues of $399.13 million for the quarter ended June 2024, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.21%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $617.4 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock&#39;s immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s commentary on the earnings call.
Alkermes shares have lost about 9.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&amp;P 500&#39;s gain of 16.5%.
What&#39;s Next for Alkermes?
While Alkermes has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors&#39; minds is: what&#39;s next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company&#39;s earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Alkermes: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company&#39;s just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.79 on $392.26 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $2.67 on $1.51 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Medical - Biomedical and Genetics is currently in the top 34% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, Arcellx, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aclx#NASDAQ">ACLX</a>), is yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2024.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.54 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -8%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Arcellx, Inc.&#39;s revenues are expected to be $27.73 million, up 93.9% from the year-ago quarter.

The following post was written and/or published as a collaboration between Benzinga&rsquo;s in-house sponsored content team and a financial partner of Benzinga.

Around the world, companies in the metals and mining sector are expanding and changing the way the industry operates. Larger companies are implementing ESG initiatives in their business plans making way for more green and sustainable practices.

These include companies like Lake Resources (OTCQB:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLKKF#OTCQB">LLKKF</a>) a clean lithium developer that has partnered with Lilac Solutions, a firm <a href="http://www.otcmarkets.com/financialReportViewer?symbol=LLKKF&amp;id=269010" target="_blank">backed</a> by Bill Gates&rsquo; Breakthrough Energy Fund and M.I.T.&rsquo;s The Engine fund. Another such company is Pan African Resources (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAFRY#OTCQX">PAFRY</a>, PAFRF)), who recently partnered with juwi Renewable Energy to build a 9.975 solar photovoltaic plant. The company <a href="https://www.news24.com/fin24/companies/mining/gold-producer-pan-african-resources-to-invest-r140m-in-solar-plant-for-mining-site-20201215" target="_blank">said that</a> the plant would cut carbon emissions of its Elikhulu tailing treatment plant by more than 26,000 tons in its first year.

Looking at the performance of the market, metals are a historically volatile industry. As of <a href="https://www.msci.com/documents/10199/fb6ddbdf-8df3-4fdf-96b4-e578e2ac776c" target="_blank">January 29, 2021</a>, the MSCI World Metals and Mining Index &mdash; composed of large and mid-cap stocks across 23 Developed Markets countries &mdash; is down 0.83% year-to-date. Although, the index rose 31.56% over the last year.&nbsp;

Gabriel Alonso-Mendoza, a Managing Partner at Amvest Capital, believes we are currently at the beginning of a new bull market in the Basic Materials Sector.&nbsp;

&ldquo;A lot of it has to do with the policy initiatives that are currently in place, which are stimulating the economy and creating demand for certain commodities,&rdquo; he said.&nbsp;

Additional light on the industry will be shed at <a href="https://www.virtualinvestorconferences.com/events/event-details/global-metals-and-mining-investor-conference-sponsor" target="_blank">Global Metals &amp; Mining Virtual Investor Conference</a>, a Virtual Investor Conference by OTC Markets.
