These are top 10 stocks traded on the Robinhood UK platform in July
On Friday, H.C. Wainwright reaffirmed its Buy rating and $4.25 price target for Western Copper and Gold (NYSE: NYSE:WRN), representing significant upside from the current trading price of $0.96. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a strong balance sheet with more cash than debt, positioning it well for its infrastructure initiatives crucial for the Casino (EPA:CASP) Copper-Gold Project. The company's update on April 10, 2025, highlighted several developments, including the conditional approval of $40 million in funding by Natural Resources Canada (NRC) for a high-voltage transmission energy corridor, a project that began planning after a contribution agreement was signed on February 14, 2025.
This transmission line is a significant development for Western Copper and Gold as it is expected to connect the Yukon grid with the larger North American grid located in British Columbia. The Yukon Development Corporation has also met its funding conditions, including a 25% commitment over the C$40 million from NRC, demonstrating strong government and regional support for the project. InvestingPro analysis shows the company maintains an impressive current ratio of 22.18, indicating strong ability to fund its near-term operations and commitments.
The connection to the grid is particularly noteworthy for the Casino Project, which has substantial power requirements. The analyst from H.C. Wainwright emphasized that access to grid power will help to de-risk the project's long-term power supply needs. The advancement of nearby infrastructure is seen as a testament to the support the project is receiving, which is a positive factor in the firm's continued endorsement of Western Copper and Gold's stock. Investors should note that InvestingPro data indicates the stock's beta of 2.19 suggests higher volatility compared to the market, with the stock showing a -35.46% return over the past year.
