Check-Cap to merge with MBody AI in embodied AI workforce push
Investing.com - Deutsche Bank upgraded Teck Resources Ltd (NYSE:TECK) from Hold to Buy while maintaining its price target of $42.00. The mining giant, with a market capitalization of $16.8 billion and impressive revenue growth of 37% over the last twelve months, has maintained dividend payments for 16 consecutive years according to InvestingPro data.
The upgrade comes as Deutsche Bank analyst Liam Fitzpatrick identified a "compelling value opportunity" in Teck shares, which have underperformed this year due to ongoing ramp-up issues at the company’s QB copper project. This assessment aligns with InvestingPro’s Fair Value analysis, which suggests the stock is currently fairly valued, while trading at an attractive price-to-book ratio of 0.95x.
Teck Resources announced a QB action plan last week and confirmed it would defer sanctioning of major growth projects. Deutsche Bank views these project delays as "a clear positive" and expects revised guidance to be provided by the Q3 results on October 22, ahead of the QB site trip scheduled for November 3-4.
The bank forecasts QB production of approximately 210,000 tonnes in 2025, 250,000 tonnes in 2026, and 290,000 tonnes in 2027, with the mine expected to achieve design capacity from mid-2026. Current 2026 guidance assumes design capacity for the entire year, but Deutsche Bank believes a new range of 220,000-270,000 tonnes is possible.
Deutsche Bank noted that despite Teck’s transformation into a copper pure play, investor sentiment has reached "rock-bottom," resulting in shares trading below greenfield replacement cost and at a wide discount to global peers in a consolidating industry where strategic value in copper assets remains high. The company maintains strong financial health with a current ratio of 3.47, indicating robust liquidity, and has received a "GOOD" overall financial health score from InvestingPro, which offers additional insights through its comprehensive Pro Research Report covering 1,400+ top stocks.
In other recent news, Teck Resources Ltd. announced its second-quarter 2025 earnings, which exceeded expectations with an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.38 compared to the anticipated $0.23. This represents a 65.22% surprise in EPS. However, the company’s revenue fell short of forecasts, coming in at $2.02 billion against the expected $2.17 billion, a miss of 6.91%. Despite the earnings beat, the lower-than-expected revenue was a notable development for investors. The recent earnings announcement has attracted attention from analysts and investors alike. While the earnings beat is a positive sign, the revenue shortfall raises questions about the company’s sales performance. These recent developments are important for stakeholders monitoring Teck Resources’ financial health.
