New Gold stock rating upgraded to Buy at TD Cowen on CDE acquisition

Investing.com - TD Cowen has upgraded New Gold (NYSE:NGD) from Hold to Buy and significantly raised its price target to C$12.00 from C$7.50 following the proposed all-stock acquisition by Coeur Mining. The upgrade comes as New Gold shares have surged 23.7% in the past week and an impressive 236.69% year-to-date, according to InvestingPro data.

The substantial price target increase represents a 60% jump from the previous target, reflecting TD Cowen’s positive outlook on the transaction. Currently trading at $8.35, New Gold is considered slightly undervalued based on InvestingPro’s Fair Value assessment.

The upgrade is based on TD Cowen’s assessment that New Gold will likely be successfully acquired by Coeur Mining due to the premium multiple being offered in the deal.

The all-stock transaction features a 0.4959 share exchange ratio, with TD Cowen’s new target price for New Gold based on its $25 target price for Coeur Mining shares.

TD Cowen analyst Wayne Lam noted there is "limited likelihood of superior competing bid" emerging to challenge the current acquisition proposal.
