On Wednesday, RBC Capital adjusted its stance on Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. (NYSE:TFPM), downgrading the stock from Outperform to Sector Perform, while increasing the price target to $19.00, up from the previous $15.00.
The firm cited a shift in the timing of the company's growth prospects and a current premium in its share price relative to its peers.
The downgrade reflects RBC Capital's revised expectations for Triple Flag's production targets over the next five years, which are now 16% below the company's projections and 11% under the consensus.
Updates from operators, the reduction in output at Cerro Lindo, and general risks associated with the company's projects have contributed to the more conservative outlook.
Despite the downgrade, the price target for Triple Flag Precious Metals has been raised due to updated commodity pricing. This adjustment indicates that while the immediate growth upside for the company may have been deferred, there is recognition of the changing value within the underlying commodities market.
The new Sector Perform rating suggests that RBC Capital anticipates Triple Flag's stock performance to align more closely with the average returns of other companies in the industry, as opposed to outperforming the sector as previously expected.
The firm's revised target price of $19.00 represents RBC Capital's assessment of Triple Flag's value based on the most current information available, including the anticipated impact of various challenges and updates in commodity pricing that could influence the company's financial performance.
