An update from NioCorp Developments ( (NB) ) is now available.

NioCorp’s 2025 year in review highlights major progress on advancing the Elk Creek Critical Minerals Project toward construction, with notable strides in financing, federal support, technical development and pre-construction activities that have strengthened the project’s foundation. The company reported more than $370 million raised in 2025, largely through equity financings that increasingly attracted institutional investors and culminated in a record $307 million year-end cash balance, bolstering confidence in its ability to secure full project financing and move toward commercial operations. NioCorp also advanced in the U.S. Export-Import Bank’s due diligence process, including the launch of independent technical and environmental and social reviews, while winning up to $10 million in Defense Production Act funding to support drilling, engineering, and scandium technology development, underscoring growing U.S. government backing for the project and its role in strengthening domestic critical mineral supply chains.

The most recent analyst rating on (NB) stock is a Buy with a $11.25 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NioCorp Developments stock, see the NB Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on NB Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, NB is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (pre-revenue losses and meaningful cash burn), partially offset by currently low leverage and a strategically positive acquisition. Technical indicators are mixed/neutral with slightly negative momentum, while valuation signals are constrained by a negative P/E and no dividend support.
