Greenland Resources Signs MOU With Italian Cogne for Molybdenum Supply
The MOU is non-binding but sets the path for a long-term supply agreement of Ferromolybdenum and Mo-oxide with extraction in Greenland and roasting in Belgium. Cogne will be able to ensure a stable and responsibly sourced long term secured molybdenum supply with high sustainability standards and low scope 1&2 emissions from an EU associate country.
The EU is the second largest molybdenum user worldwide and has no extraction. Italy is the second largest user of molybdenum in the EU, after Germany. The Italian government recently established a strategic equity raw materials fund aiming to enhance Italy's industrial autonomy and contribute to the energy transition and circular economy.

Greenland Resources Inc.
Greenland Resources is a Canadian public company with the Ontario Securities Commission as its principal regulator and is focused on the development of its 100% owned Climax type primary molybdenum deposit located in central east Greenland. The Project has also magnesium as a bi-product, a market dominated 89% by China. The Malmbjerg molybdenum project is an open pit operation with an environmentally friendly mine design focused on reduced water usage, low aquatic disturbance and low footprint due to modularized infrastructure. The Malmbjerg project benefits from an NI 43-101 Definitive Feasibility Study completed by Tetra Tech in 2022, with an US$820 million capex and a levered after-tax IRR of 33.8% and payback of 2.4 years, using US$18 per pound molybdenum price. The Proven and Probable Reserves are 245 million tonnes at 0.176% MoS 2, for 571 million pounds of contained molybdenum metal. As the high-grade molybdenum is mined for the first half of the mine life, the average annual production for years one to ten is 32.8 million pounds per year of contained molybdenum metal at an average grade of 0.23% MoS 2, approximately 25% of EU total yearly consumption. The project had a previous exploitation license granted in 2009. With offices in Toronto, the Company is led by a management team with an extensive track record in the mining industry and capital markets. For further details, please refer to our web site (www.greenlandresources.ca) and our Canadian regulatory filings on Greenland Resources' profile at www.sedarplus.com.
The Project is supported by the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA). ERMA is managed by EIT RawMaterials, an organization within the EIT, a body of the European Union.
About Molybdenum and the European Union
Molybdenum is a critical metal used mainly in steel and chemicals that is needed in all technologies in the upcoming green energy transition. When added to steel and cast iron, it enhances strength, hardenability, weldability, toughness, temperature strength, and corrosion resistance. Based on data from the International Molybdenum Association and the European Commission Steel Report, the world produced around 576 million pounds of molybdenum in 2021 where the European Union ('EU') as the second largest steel producer in the world used approximately 24% of global molybdenum supply and has no domestic molybdenum production. To a greater degree, the EU steel dependent industries like the automotive, construction, and engineering, represent around 18% of the EU's ≈ US$16 trillion GDP. Greenland Resources strategically located Malmbjerg molybdenum project has the potential to supply in and for the EU approximately 25% of the EU consumption, of environmentally friendly high-quality molybdenum from a responsible EU Associate country, for decades to come. The high quality of the Malmbjerg ore, having low impurity content in phosphorus, tin, antimony, and arsenic, makes it an ideal source of molybdenum for the high-performance steel industry lead worldwide by Europe, specifically the Scandinavian countries and Germany.

BellRing Brands, Inc.'s (NYSE:BRBR) Intrinsic Value Is Potentially 42% Above Its Share Price
Key Insights The projected fair value for BellRing Brands is US$82.59 based on 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity BellRing Brands is estimated to be 30% undervalued based on current share price of US$58.20 The US$77.87 analyst price target for BRBR is 5.7% less than our estimate of fair value Today we will run through one way of estimating the intrinsic value of BellRing Brands, Inc. (NYSE:BRBR) by estimating the company's future cash flows and discounting them to their present value. We will take advantage of the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model for this purpose. Don't get put off by the jargon, the math behind it is actually quite straightforward. We would caution that there are many ways of valuing a company and, like the DCF, each technique has advantages and disadvantages in certain scenarios. If you want to learn more about discounted cash flow, the rationale behind this calculation can be read in detail in the Simply Wall St analysis model. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. The Calculation We're using the 2-stage growth model, which simply means we take in account two stages of company's growth. In the initial period the company may have a higher growth rate and the second stage is usually assumed to have a stable growth rate. In the first stage we need to estimate the cash flows to the business over the next ten years. Where possible we use analyst estimates, but when these aren't available we extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) from the last estimate or reported value. We assume companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow their rate of shrinkage, and that companies with growing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow, over this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow more in the early years than it does in later years. A DCF is all about the idea that a dollar in the future is less valuable than a dollar today, so we discount the value of these future cash flows to their estimated value in today's dollars: 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 2034 2035 Levered FCF ($, Millions) US$343.9m US$390.5m US$421.0m US$456.0m US$483.5m US$508.1m US$530.8m US$552.0m US$572.3m US$592.1m Growth Rate Estimate Source Analyst x4 Analyst x3 Analyst x1 Analyst x1 Est @ 6.03% Est @ 5.10% Est @ 4.45% Est @ 4.00% Est @ 3.68% Est @ 3.46% Present Value ($, Millions) Discounted @ 7.2% US$321 US$340 US$342 US$346 US$342 US$335 US$327 US$317 US$307 US$296 ("Est" = FCF growth rate estimated by Simply Wall St)Present Value of 10-year Cash Flow (PVCF) = US$3.3b The second stage is also known as Terminal Value, this is the business's cash flow after the first stage. For a number of reasons a very conservative growth rate is used that cannot exceed that of a country's GDP growth. In this case we have used the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield (2.9%) to estimate future growth. In the same way as with the 10-year 'growth' period, we discount future cash flows to today's value, using a cost of equity of 7.2%. Terminal Value (TV)= FCF2035 × (1 + g) ÷ (r – g) = US$592m× (1 + 2.9%) ÷ (7.2%– 2.9%) = US$14b Present Value of Terminal Value (PVTV)= TV / (1 + r)10= US$14b÷ ( 1 + 7.2%)10= US$7.2b The total value is the sum of cash flows for the next ten years plus the discounted terminal value, which results in the Total Equity Value, which in this case is US$10b. To get the intrinsic value per share, we divide this by the total number of shares outstanding. Relative to the current share price of US$58.2, the company appears a touch undervalued at a 30% discount to where the stock price trades currently. The assumptions in any calculation have a big impact on the valuation, so it is better to view this as a rough estimate, not precise down to the last cent. Important Assumptions The calculation above is very dependent on two assumptions. The first is the discount rate and the other is the cash flows. Part of investing is coming up with your own evaluation of a company's future performance, so try the calculation yourself and check your own assumptions. The DCF also does not consider the possible cyclicality of an industry, or a company's future capital requirements, so it does not give a full picture of a company's potential performance. Given that we are looking at BellRing Brands as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. In this calculation we've used 7.2%, which is based on a levered beta of 0.976. Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility, compared to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the industry average beta of globally comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business. View our latest analysis for BellRing Brands SWOT Analysis for BellRing Brands Strength Earnings growth over the past year exceeded the industry. Debt is well covered by earnings. Weakness Earnings growth over the past year is below its 5-year average. Opportunity Annual earnings are forecast to grow for the next 3 years. Trading below our estimate of fair value by more than 20%. Threat Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Total liabilities exceed total assets, which raises the risk of financial distress. Annual earnings are forecast to grow slower than the American market. Next Steps: Whilst important, the DCF calculation is only one of many factors that you need to assess for a company. It's not possible to obtain a foolproof valuation with a DCF model. Instead the best use for a DCF model is to test certain assumptions and theories to see if they would lead to the company being undervalued or overvalued. For instance, if the terminal value growth rate is adjusted slightly, it can dramatically alter the overall result. Can we work out why the company is trading at a discount to intrinsic value? For BellRing Brands, there are three essential elements you should look at: Risks: Consider for instance, the ever-present spectre of investment risk. We've identified 2 warning signs with BellRing Brands , and understanding these should be part of your investment process.

Should You Accelerate Income or Deductions Before 2026? What Tax Experts Say
When it comes to tax planning, timing can be everything, especially with major changes on the horizon. President Donald Trump's recent signing of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' (OBBB) into law will usher in sweeping updates to the U.S. tax code starting in 2025 and 2026. These include a higher cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions, new limitations on itemized deductions and some limited exemptions for tip and overtime income. Find Out: Read Next: 'Proper tax planning requires a thorough understanding of the current tax law and how it affects your financial picture,' said Brian Tullio, JD, a CFP at Fairway Wealth Management. 'The 'OBBB' brings a host of changes to various individual tax provisions, often with new phase-out or AGI (adjusted gross income) limitations.' We spoke with Tullio and Matt McKinney, senior director and tax expert at Source Advisors, to break down what's changing, who should act now and who might be better off waiting. What's Changing in 2025 and 2026? Several provisions of the bill are poised to be retroactive to 2025 or take effect in 2026, and they may drastically shift how Americans approach tax planning. McKinney said the bill introduces 'several permanent tax changes effective in 2025, including permanent 100% bonus depreciation starting for property acquired after Jan. 19, 2025; a permanent 20% qualified business income (QBI) deduction for pass-through business owners; [and] permanent research and experimental (R&E) expensing.' Other key provisions include: A new $40,000 cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions, with a phase-out for incomes over $500,000 A deduction of up to $25,000 in tip income and $12,500 in overtime pay for taxpayers under $150,000 AGI A new limit on itemized deduction values, capped at a 35% benefit for high earners, starting in 2026 Your tax strategy depends on understanding when these provisions take effect, however. 'Shifting income between tax years must be timed accordingly to ensure the applicable changes in tax policy provide the targeted benefit,' Tullio said. Learn More: When Accelerating Deductions Makes Sense If you're planning major charitable contributions or medical procedures, you might want to act before the end of the year, Tullio urged. 'Waiting until 2026 to do so will erode the overall tax benefit of your contributions by roughly 2/37ths.' He also noted that speeding along some itemized deductions in 2025 may help offset the coming deduction limits for 2026. 'The itemized deductions with the largest potential value are charitable contributions and any major medical procedures to the extent those medical expenses exceed 7.5% of AGI.' If you're not sure you have charitable donations or medical expenses, look to buy a U.S.-made car for a tax break, Tullio said. 'Financing a new car that has a final assembly in the U.S. may also help, as up to $10,000 of interest is deductible for 2025.' When Deferring Income May Save You More In some cases, delaying income to 2026 may result in a better tax outcome, Tullio said. This applies especially to tip or overtime workers who stand to benefit from the new income exemptions. 'Delaying tip income or overtime compensation until 2026 will allow you to take advantage of new applicable deductions.' He also cautioned high earners: 'Accelerating too much income may result in a higher AGI, thereby disallowing the use of new deductions or credits.' Small-Business Owners: Time Your Moves Wisely If you run a businesse or are a self-employed taxpayer, you also have a unique planning opportunity, McKinney said. 'Taxpayers who could benefit from accelerating income before the 2026 tax year include those with research and experimental (R&D) costs,' he said, noting that 'small businesses under $31 million in gross receipts can take advantage of retroactive deduction options.' He also advised businesses to line up capital purchases and projects strategically for tax benefits: 'For clients planning industrial facilities, now is the moment to align construction timelines to secure 100% bonus treatment.' Avoid These Mistakes Not every timing tactic pays off, however. Tullio warned that while delaying income can help you qualify for deductions like the full SALT cap, '[I]t's also possible to miss out if you don't plan correctly or if the phase-out thresholds change.' This is where it's a good idea to turn to a tax professional or financial advisor early. 'Failing to do so may result in losing those tax savings forever,' Tullio said. What To Do Now With the BBB now signed into law, look into doing the following: Consider accelerating deductions like charitable gifts, medical expenses or vehicle interest in 2025. If eligible, consider deferring tip or overtime income to 2026. Business owners should evaluate capital projects and R&D expenses for bonus depreciation benefits. Run multiyear projections with a tax advisor to avoid AGI cliffs or deduction phaseouts. 'Proactive tax planning and multiyear modeling are critically important after new tax legislation passes,' Tullio said. 'The time of 'I will see when I file my return' has passed. At that point, you just have to live with those consequences.' Don't let yourself be caught by surprise by any of these changes — get ahead of them with the support of a financial professional or your own education.

Insider Stock Buying Reaches US$35.7m On Nerdy
In the last year, multiple insiders have substantially increased their holdings of Nerdy, Inc. (NYSE:NRDY) stock, indicating that insiders' optimism about the company's prospects has increased. Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. Nerdy Insider Transactions Over The Last Year In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Founder Charles Cohn bought US$9.7m worth of shares at a price of US$0.91 per share. Even though the purchase was made at a significantly lower price than the recent price (US$1.59), we still think insider buying is a positive. Because the shares were purchased at a lower price, this particular buy doesn't tell us much about how insiders feel about the current share price. Over the last year, we can see that insiders have bought 32.07m shares worth US$36m. On the other hand they divested 610.08k shares, for US$908k. Overall, Nerdy insiders were net buyers during the last year. The average buy price was around US$1.11. We don't deny that it is nice to see insiders buying stock in the company. But we must note that the investments were made at well below today's share price. You can see a visual depiction of insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last 12 months, below. If you click on the chart, you can see all the individual transactions, including the share price, individual, and the date! View our latest analysis for Nerdy There are always plenty of stocks that insiders are buying. If investing in lesser known companies is your style, you could take a look at this free list of companies. (Hint: insiders have been buying them). Insiders At Nerdy Have Sold Stock Recently We've seen more insider selling than insider buying at Nerdy recently. We note insiders cashed in US$294k worth of shares. On the flip side, Independent Director Abigail Blunt spent US$20k on purchasing shares. Since the selling really does outweigh the buying, we'd say that these transactions may suggest that some insiders feel the shares are not cheap. Does Nerdy Boast High Insider Ownership? Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. We usually like to see fairly high levels of insider ownership. It appears that Nerdy insiders own 27% of the company, worth about US$51m. We've certainly seen higher levels of insider ownership elsewhere, but these holdings are enough to suggest alignment between insiders and the other shareholders. What Might The Insider Transactions At Nerdy Tell Us? The insider sales have outweighed the insider buying, at Nerdy, in the last three months. In contrast, they appear keener if you look at the last twelve months. And insiders do own shares. So we're happy enough to look past some selling. In addition to knowing about insider transactions going on, it's beneficial to identify the risks facing Nerdy. Every company has risks, and we've spotted 2 warning signs for Nerdy you should know about. But note: Nerdy may not be the best stock to buy. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies with high ROE and low debt. For the purposes of this article, insiders are those individuals who report their transactions to the relevant regulatory body.
