Matt Murphy, an analyst from BMO Capital, has initiated a new Buy rating on Ero Copper (ERO).
Matt Murphy has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Ero Copper’s promising financial outlook and operational advancements. The company is on the brink of commercial production at its Tucumã mine, which is expected to significantly enhance cash flows and strengthen the balance sheet. This improvement is anticipated to support ERO’s efforts to reduce leverage and position itself for future growth.
Additionally, the ongoing development of the Pilar shaft is projected to boost productivity by 2027, further enhancing the company’s operational efficiency. The high gold prices have also been beneficial for ERO’s Xavantina operations, contributing positively to the bottom line. The stock is currently trading at a discount, offering a compelling opportunity for investors given its strong growth profile and attractive free cash flow yield. These factors collectively underpin Murphy’s Outperform rating and the target price of $21.
In another report released on April 7, Scotiabank also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a C$22.50 price target.
