On Wednesday, Northern Dynasty Minerals (NYSE:NAK) experienced a positive shift as H.C. Wainwright maintained a Buy rating on the stock and increased the price target to $1.30 from the previous $0.80. This change reflects a heightened optimism following legal developments and revisions to precious metal price estimates.

Northern Dynasty announced on August 19, 2024, that the U.S. Federal District Court in Alaska had ruled in favor of amending a complaint against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which now includes the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) as a co-defendant. Analysts believe this move could facilitate the restoration of necessary permitting procedures for the company.

The upward adjustment in the price target is also influenced by updated estimates in the precious metals market. As of November 6, 2024, the firm's long-term price projections for gold and silver have been revised to $2,500/oz and $30.00/oz, respectively. These changes come in response to various macroeconomic factors that have driven up the spot prices of gold and silver significantly over the past year, especially in the last six months.

The analyst's decision to raise the price target for Northern Dynasty Minerals is primarily based on the incorporation of the revised precious metal price deck into their valuation model. The firm's outlook for Northern Dynasty remains positive, as indicated by the reaffirmed Buy rating and the substantial increase in the price target.
