RBC Capital Maintains Outperform on Moody's, Raises Price Target to $475

The recent announcement that&nbsp;President Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 election campaign has stirred significant reactions across various sectors, including cannabis. Pablo Zuanic, senior analyst at Zuanic &amp; Associates, outlines the implications for the cannabis industry in his recent report.
<h3>Market Reaction And Political Context</h3>
Zuanic notes that the news of Biden stepping down has been perceived <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39895214/cannabis-stocks-react-to-biden-announcement-mondays-closing-market-moves">positively for&nbsp;cannabis stocks</a>. With Vice President Kamala Harris now more likely to face Donald Trump in the election, the market has responded optimistically.
Notable movements include Canopy Growth Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cgc#NASDAQ">CGC</a>) increasing by 17%, several large producers (LPs) rising by 9%, and the AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/arca#NYSE">ARCA</a>) gaining 5.7%.
According to Zuanic, Harris has a better chance than Biden of defeating Trump in November, which could drive higher turnout for Democrats and reduce the likelihood of a Republican sweep. &quot;A Harris vs. Trump election will likely bring cannabis more to the forefront of the overall<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39344068/not-dc-but-the-states-tim-seymour-discusses-how-red-states-could-catalyze-cannabis-"> political debate</a>,&quot; Zuanic says.
He cautions that this heightened focus could make cannabis a more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39781066/libertarians-back-florida-cannabis-legalization-5m-from-hemp-execs-to-gop-green-waves-in-red-sta">partisan issue</a>, increasing risks if Trump were to win.
&ldquo;Those who only wish for Trump to say &#39;leave it to the states&#39;&nbsp;forget that would only mean status quo but no rescheduling,&rdquo; Zuanic notes.
<h3>Rescheduling And Regulatory Implications</h3>
Zuanic emphasizes the narrowing path to cannabis rescheduling despite these developments.
He outlines several potential scenarios, from the Department of Justice (DOJ) deciding hearings are unnecessary and publishing the final rule soon, to prolonged delays due to administrative law judge (ALJ) reports and DEA involvement. &quot;Yes, a final rule published before 12/21/24 is possible, but the roadblocks are mounting.&quot;&nbsp;
Zuanic suggests that the Biden administration will prioritize completing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39561566/will-bidens-shaky-debate-performance-affect-cannabis-reform-how-a-trump-return-could-reshape-mar">rescheduling process before Inauguration Day</a>. However, he raises concerns about the DEA potentially delaying the process. &quot;We believe the DOJ and White House will have some decisions to make, with the DEA&#39;s response to public comments being a significant factor.&quot;&nbsp;
The Congressional Review Act could reverse the ruling if Trump secures a majority in both chambers. If not, Zuanic says he would need to start a new rescheduling process &ldquo;from 3 to 1,&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;which could take at least two years.
<h3>Future Scenarios And Market Sentiment</h3>
In the event of a Trump victory, Zuanic outlines possible actions, such as reversing rescheduling through the Congressional Review Act or initiating a new process to revert cannabis scheduling. &quot;If the final rule has not been implemented before 1/20/25, we are doubtful his administration would continue the process,&quot; Zuanic adds.
Zuanic concludes that for cannabis stocks, a Harris victory is crucial. &quot;In our view, Trump voters owning cannabis stocks are in denial. Harris would at least finish rescheduling and likely push forward other reform initiatives around cannabis,&quot; he said.

Source: <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2024/07/19/critical-minerals-co-starts-fieldwork-at-montana-flagship-project.html?utm_medium=feed">Streetwise Reports 07/22/2024</a>
Stillwater Critical Minerals Corp. (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pgezf#OTC">PGEZF</a>) announced it has started 2024 field activities at its flagship Stillwater West project in Montana, including a property-wide airborne electromagnetic geophysical survey.
Expert Geophysics Ltd. will conduct a combined time-domain electromagnetic (EM) survey using their TargetEM26 system along with a magneto-telluric survey using their MobileMTm system at the nickel-platinum group element-copper-cobalt plus gold (Ni-PGE-Cu-Co plus Au) project.
The survey will utilize the newest technological advancements in airborne EM, building on the success of a first-generation DIGHEM airborne EM survey flown over the project in 2000. It will cover about 1,069 line-kilometers and provide higher-resolution and improved depth of investigation from the DIGHEM airborne EM survey, as well as VLF coverage.
It has been designed in collaboration with Glencore International Plc (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/glncy#OTC">GLNCY</a>), which holds a 15.4% position in Stillwater and has provided ongoing technical support to the company, to fine-tune priority conductive drill targets across the 12-kilometer main resource area, as well as to assist with prioritization and ranking of additional untested conductive targets across the broader 61-square-kilometer property.
This large-scale geophysical survey is part of a larger program that is expected to include an updated mineral resource estimate that will support the commencement of various studies relating to potential production scenarios&quot; Stillwater President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Rowley said. &quot;These objectives will be important milestones in preparation for continued resource expansion drilling across the 12-kilometer deposit area, as well as in developing target areas.&quot;
<h2>Airborne Surveys to Give Important Info</h2>
Rowley said Stillwater is also pursuing a number of other studies and initiatives with strategic partners such as Cornell University and various U.S. government agencies.
The technical committee that includes Glencore is focusing on the expansion potential of the lower Stillwater Igneous Complex, the company said. The addition of Glencore&#39;s vice president of business development to Stillwater&#39;s board of directors in June confirmed this focus on expansion potential.
Detailed geological and structural interpretive work during the past two years added significantly to Stillwater&#39;s understanding of the large Platreef-style mineralized system discovered within the footwall contact zone of the project complex, Vice President Exploration Dr. Danie Grobler said.
&quot;Our geological models now display strong geological control and continuity on mineralized zones&quot; Grobler said. &quot;The planned airborne surveys will provide important high-resolution data sets to refine targeting of high-grade nickel-copper-PGE sulphide-hosted mineralization within the multikilometer-scale geophysical anomalies that we see across the 32-kilometer-long mineralized system.&quot;
<h2>Parallels With Massive South Africa Complex</h2>
In June, the company reported the final drill results from resource expansion drilling at the project, including six holes totaling 2,310 meters that were focused on expanding resources at the west end of the current deposits, which span nine kilometers.
All six holes targeted and successfully intercepted magmatic nickel and copper sulfide mineralization with significant PGE mineralization, furthering known parallels with the Bushveld Igneous Complex, the largest layered igneous intrusion in the Earth&#39;s crust in South Africa.
&quot;Our drill campaigns have successfully leveraged a substantial historic database to arrive at a total of approximately 40,000 meters of drilling in 236 holes to date&quot; said Rowley at the time. &quot;That wealth of data, combined with Glencore&#39;s backing and in-house expertise from similar geology in South Africa&#39;s Bushveld Igneous Complex, has positioned us exceptionally well with the largest nickel resource in an active American mining district at a time when the U.S. is looking to onshore supply chains of nine of the commodities we have inventoried.&quot;
Stillwater noted that drilling also successfully intercepted N-series mineralization in structures that are not known in the Bushveld Igneous Complex but have now been modeled in a series of eight north-south trending structures at Stillwater West.
The company said those results demonstrated significant potential to expand the 2023 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the project. All deposits and mineralization remain open for expansion in planned follow-up drilling.
<h2>The Catalyst: Powering the Green Energy Transition</h2>
According to a report by CarbonCredits.com, a rapid expansion in Indonesia&#39;s nickel industry has led to oversupply, causing price declines from highs in 2022 and 2023. However, it noted the long-term outlook for the metal remained positive and that &quot;market analysts also share the same sentiment.&quot;
The nickel market is expected to grow by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 4.8% from 2024 to 2029, according to Mordor Intelligence. The market was valued at more than 2.1 million tons in 2021, analysts said.
The driving force over the medium term will be the demand for nickel in stainless steel alloys, Mordor noted, as well as for automobile batteries and energy storage systems in wind turbines or solar panels needed for the energy transition.
An article from Stockhead on May 13 noted how Sprott&#39;s Steve Schoffstall spoke highly about nickel potential.
&quot;In our view, nickel miners are poised to offer investment attractive opportunities to investors&quot; Schoffstall said. &quot;Although nickel prices declined in 2023 on the back of softer Chinese EV sales and a flood of supply from Indonesia, the metal has been rebounding thus far in 2024 and benefiting the prospects of mining companies.&quot;
Schoffstall added, &quot;The rise in nickel prices seems to be a combination of investor sentiment, potential supply constraints, and the underlying long-term demand for nickel in the clean energy transition.&quot;
Geopolitics are also important to consider, especially given Chinese dominance in nickel markets via the mines and processing operations in Indonesia, Rowley told Streetwise Reports, adding that BHP&#39;s recent decision to suspend production at their giant Nickel West operations in Western Australia is evidence that China&#39;s strategy to squeeze out western miners is working.
&quot;For this reason, Stillwater highlights the importance of having the largest nickel resource in an active U.S. mining district&quot; he said.
According to Straits Research, Platinum Group Metals (PGM) are utilized in various products, including oxygen sensors, fuel cells, auto catalysts, jewelry, electronic parts, and medical equipment, among other things.
The global market for PGE was US$15.7 million in 2021 and is projected to reach US$21.8 million by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.44% from 2022 to 2030, researchers said.
Copper and cobalt are also needed for the energy transition for use in wires and batteries and other important products.
<h2>Ownership and Share Structure</h2>
Management and insiders own approximately 20% of Stillwater, according to the company.
Executive Chairman and Director Gregory Shawn Johnson owns 2.86%, President and CEO Michael Victor Rowley owns 2.56%, Independent Director Gregor John Hamilton owns 1.65%, Independent Director Gordon L. Toll owns 0.44%, and Vice President of Exploration Daniel F. Grobler owns 0.23%, according to Reuters.
Institutions own approximately 25% of the company, high net-worth investors own about 37%, and Glencore Canada Corp. owns 15.4%. About 18% of the company&#39;s shares are in retail, Stillwater said.
There are about 227 million shares outstanding with 174.5 million free float traded shares, while the company has a market cap of CA$36.33 million and trades in a 52-week range of CA$0.13 and CA$0.22.

Rogers Communication Navigates Mixed Q2: Subscriber Additions Clash with Revenue Miss

The Trade Desk, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTD#NASDAQ">TTD</a>) stock is trading lower Wednesday. The technology company, among other companies in the ad tech industry, may be reacting to Google&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/07/39916932/google-backtracks-on-third-party-cookie-policy-sparks-gains-in-ad-tech-and-publisher-stocks">keep third-party cookies</a>.
What To Know: In 2020, Google initially stated it would stop using third-party cookies by early 2022, as soon as it could launch a new solution to address the needs of users and advertisers, according to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/22/google-cancels-plans-to-kill-off-cookies-for-advertisers.html">CNBC</a>.
In order to find a solution, Google launched the Privacy Sandbox initiative. A part of the Privacy Sandbox initiative was to place users into, &#8220;Federated Learning of Cohorts&#8221; which would group users based on browsing behavior. This would mean that only cohort IDs would be used to target them compared to individual user IDs.
Then, Google pushed back the timeline to cancel third-party cookies in 2021 and in 2022. <a href="https://privacysandbox.com/news/privacy-sandbox-update/">In a blog post</a> on Monday, Google announced its decision to keep third-party cookies after receiving feedback from a variety of agencies, advertisers and publishers.
&#8220;Early testing from ad tech companies, including Google, has indicated that the Privacy Sandbox APIs have the potential to achieve these outcomes. And we expect that overall performance using Privacy Sandbox APIs will improve over time as industry adoption increases,&#8221; said Anthony Chavez, vice president of the Privacy Sandbox at Google. 
&#8220;At the same time, we recognize this transition requires significant work by many participants and will have an impact on publishers, advertisers, and everyone involved in online advertising.&#8221;
The vice president then explained Google&#8217;s new approach to keep third-party cookies but allow users to, &#8220;make an informed choice that applies across their web browsing.&#8221;
