The latest update is out from Ecora Resources ( (GB:ECOR) ).

Ecora Royalties reported a 150% surge in 2025 base metals portfolio contribution to $28.5m, driven by higher cobalt volumes and prices from Voisey’s Bay, the first contribution from the Mimbula copper stream and record output from the Mantos Blancos copper mine, even as total portfolio contribution slipped 10% year-on-year to $57.0m amid weaker steelmaking coal prices and lower Kestrel volumes. The company marked a strategic inflection point as critical minerals generated 63% of portfolio contribution and, for the first time, surpassed steelmaking coal, while Ecora reduced net debt to $85.5m following its $50m Mimbula acquisition and highlighted a growing pipeline of copper and other critical minerals projects that reinforce its pivot away from coal and support further deleveraging and acquisition-led growth.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:ECOR) stock is a Hold with a £151.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ecora Resources stock, see the GB:ECOR Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GB:ECOR Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:ECOR is a Neutral.

The score is primarily held back by weak financial performance driven by declining revenue and losses, despite a solid balance sheet and positive cash generation. Technicals are supportive but look overextended, while valuation is constrained by a negative P/E and only modest yield. The latest earnings call was a notable positive, highlighting strong base-metals momentum and deleveraging progress.
