Stock Picking Alert! Huge upside for Power Metallic Mines, TeamViewer at record low, Barrick solid!

Power Metallic Mines – Strong Buy

Analysts at US broker Noble Capital Markets rate the exploration company's stock as a clear "Buy" and set a price target of CAD 3.65. The shares are currently trading at CAD 1.28, which implies upside potential of nearly 200%.

The list of reasons to buy is long. At the heart of the company is the 100% owned Nisk property in the Canadian province of Quebec, a premier mining jurisdiction. In the past, a high-grade system of copper, nickel, platinum, palladium, gold, and silver has been identified. With Nisk, the company has one of the largest polymetallic deposits in North America.

This mix of raw materials is relevant for industrial manufacturing and electrification. In times of geopolitical tensions and the desire for secure supply chains, the attractiveness of the asset increases significantly once again. Last year, strategic acquisitions by Li-FT Power and other parties also increased the property's area by more than 600% to 313 sq km.

Within the Nisk project, the Lion Zone sets the tone. The Canadians recently published phenomenal initial metallurgical test results for this most important zone. Locked-cycle tests on the material conducted by experts SGS showed very high recovery rates. Nearly 99% for copper, around 97% for platinum, and over 93% for palladium were measured. For the interpretation of the results, it is important to note that the data was obtained using conventional flotation methods and thus without complex and costly special processes.

The company is fully financed through the end of 2026 thanks to a large capital increase carried out last year. An extensive drilling program covering around 100,000 meters has been underway since 2025. New results represent an important news flow and thus a catalyst for share price development.

The company recently reported further results from the ongoing drilling program. Extensions down-plunge from high-grade shoots were identified within the Lion Zone. These include a high-grade palladium-platinum-gold-copper intersection of 8.40 m at 8.05% copper equivalent within 20.40 m at 4.11% copper equivalent; and 5.10 m at 9.86% copper equivalent in 8.60 m of 6.34% copper equivalent.

Power Metallic Mines is currently valued at CAD 300 million. In terms of valuation, the planned listing on the NYSE scheduled for this year should have a positive effect. The stock exchange offers significantly greater visibility and broader investor access. The fact that renowned investors believe the Nisk project has great potential can be seen from the shareholder base, which includes names such as Robert Friedland, Rob McEwen, and Gina Rinehart.

Note: Those who would like to learn more about the prospects of Power Metallic Mines firsthand should register for the International Investment Forum (ii-forum.com) on February 25, 2026. CEO Terry Lynch will be presenting live.

TeamViewer – Disappointing outlook causes share price to plummet

The example of TeamViewer clearly illustrates that industry growth does not automatically translate into growth for a company. The remote maintenance software provider gave a disappointing outlook a few days ago. As a result, the share price plummeted to a record low of less than EUR 5.

TeamViewer shares have been trending downward for some time. Disappointing operating performance and profit warnings can be identified as the cause. In addition, the acquisition of the US company 1E proved to be a negative factor. The company has now announced that it could see a maximum of 3% growth in revenue in the current year.

In the fall, the group had forecast a revenue range of EUR 790 to 825 million for 2026. However, the final quarter ended worse than the company had expected, at the lower end of the forecast range. After currency-adjusted revenue growth of 5% last year to EUR 767.5 million, investors can therefore expect revenue of no more than EUR 790.5 million in the current year. In terms of operating margin, a decline of around one percentage point to 43% is forecast.

In the medium term, TeamViewer confirmed revenue growth in the mid to high single-digit percentage range. Recently, analysts have increasingly pointed to AI-related risks. According to experts at Bernstein, the company is exposed to above-average AI pressure within the software industry. Bernstein is maintaining its "Market Perform" rating and setting a price target of EUR 11.

Barrick Mining – Analysts see upside potential of 20%

Booming gold and copper prices brought the Canadian company lavish profits in the past fiscal year. The final quarter saw record levels of earnings and cash flow. The company is allowing shareholders to participate in its success through higher payout ratios.

The outlook for the current fiscal year reveals the challenges facing industry, especially large producers: declining mineralization grades and rising costs. The guidance formulated for 2026 implies a decline in production levels for gold (2.9 to 3.25 million ounces) and copper (190,000 to 220,000 tons of copper). In addition, production costs are expected to be around 15% higher. Nevertheless, given the high prices, profits are expected to rise overall. Analysts attest to the stock's upside potential of 20%.

Investors were recently able to breathe a sigh of relief due to the resolution of a major conflict. After more than two years of extreme uncertainty, Mali's military government has now extended the mining license for the Loulo-Gounkoto mining complex in the African country. The mine is an important asset. The most recent feasibility study forecasts annual gold production of around 421,000 ounces of gold. Gold assets in North America are also in the spotlight. Barrick plans to spin them off and list them as an independent company on the stock exchange by the end of the year.

With Nisk, Power Metallic Mines owns an exceptional asset with great potential. The phenomenal metallurgical test results reflect this as well. News from the ongoing drilling program, along with the planned NYSE listing, could act as catalysts for the stock. Analysts see potential of almost 200%. Things are going well for Barrick, and the IPO of its North American gold assets will likely further boost the share price. At TeamViewer, however, things are not going so well. The promised growth is not convincing, and margins are falling in the short term.
