(SSRM:TSX) landed among the top winners this week on the S&P/TSX composite index, gaining just over 12 per cent, with many analysts baking in more upside for the company. ATB Cormark Capital Markets analyst Richard Gray in a note on June 17 maintained his price target of $68 for the precious metals miner, incorporated in British Columbia and now headquartered in Colorado, which operates in the United States, Canada, Turkey and Argentina. SSR closed Friday at $43.54. Shares of the company are up 42 per cent year to date, though with ups and downs along the way and the company currently trading off its 2026 closing high of $49.41. Gray said he is sticking with his price target as “SSR continues to aggressively return its cash to shareholders,” including $300 million spent in the second quarter of 2026 and the approval of a further $500 million in buybacks. “The approval … demonstrates management’s confidence that the company will continue to generate strong free cash flow as it refocuses on its North American portfolio and continues to evaluate growth opportunities,” Gray said. Despite this week’s strong move up, the stock is still trading at an “an attractive entry point,” he said. SSR has a 12-month price target of $60.37 based on the calls of 10 analysts, according to Bloomberg.Canada's best source for investing news, analysis and insight.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

Please try againTD Cowen analyst Vince Valentini maintained his price target of $83 and his buy recommendation for Cogeco Communications Inc. (CCA:TSX) after the telco wrote down the assets of Breezeline, its U.S. cable asset. Cogeco closed Friday at $63.85. The move has “stimulated” investor talk that Cogeco is looking at a sale of the asset, based on past writedowns and the resulting sales in “a reasonably short period of time,” Valentini said in a note on June 19. There is currently no evidence a sale of Breezeline is on the horizon, but Valentini said the writedown has increased the likelihood that Cogeco could exit its U.S. business in the next 12 to 24 months. Breezeline is still generating free cash flow, which could make it attractive to “financial players,” while existing cable companies could be attracted by scale and cost efficiencies — even though “cable is out of favour in the U.S.,” Valentini said. A sale of Breezeline would leave investors with a much “cleaner and better performing Canadian business,” which could set the stage for the sale of mobile spectrum or all of Cogeco, he said. Cogeco has a 12-month price target of $72.60 based on the calls of 10 analysts, according to Bloomberg.David Rosenberg, president of Rosenberg Research and Associates Inc., said in a note on June 19 there are signs that stock markets have hit a top driven by momentum and “speculative growth stocks.” He said that “only” 35 per cent of S&P 500 index members have beaten the market in 2026, while over the past two months 18 of the top-20 companies have been in the tech sector. “Flows into indexed funds have totalled more than $600 billion so far this year as FOMO has taken over, yet again,” he said. SPACs — special purpose acquisition companies — have bounced back to 44 this year from 33 last year, with deals worth US$37 billion against US$15 billion in 2025. The amount and number of capital raises in the artificial intelligence sector coupled with the initial public offering “craze” has him harkening back to 1999 and the lead up to the dot-com bubble bursting. With the market looking hot, Rosenberg has some investing suggestions including short-term bonds, which are influenced by central bank interest rate policy. “This creates an attractive opportunity should the Federal Reserve prove less restrictive than markets currently expect,” Rosenberg said. The Canadian yield curve offers “the cleanest opportunity,” he said. He also likes Canadian banks: “High profitability and supportive thematic tailwinds justify above-average multiples,” Rosenberg said.RBC Capital Markets analyst Irene Nattel hiked her price target for Empire Co. Ltd. (EMP/A:TSX) to $58 from $55 as the grocery retailer continues to expand into discount and pharmacy and maintain share buybacks.

(AGF/B:TSX) to $24 from $19 on recovering assets under management in April and May after a weak March. Ryding said in a note on June 18 that the valuation is still “attractive” despite a 20 per cent gain this year. Shares closed Friday at $20.24.RBC Capital Markets analyst Sam Crittenden hiked his price target for Lundin Mining Corp. (LUN:TSX) to $47 from $42 on the expected year-end approval of Lundin’s Vicuna mine along the Chile-Argentina border, which is being touted as “a potential top-five global copper, gold and silver complex,” he said in a note on June 17. Shares closed Friday at $37.13.BMO Capital Markets analyst Stephen MacLeod cut his price target for Groupe Dynamite Inc. (GRGD:TSX) to $78 from $106 but said in a note on June 17 that the shares represent good value despite “a head-scratching” 36 per cent selloff on June 16. Shares closed Friday at $52.01.National Bank of Canada Capital Markets analyst Patrick Kenny hiked his price target for Keyera Corp. (KEY:TSX) to $61 from $56 after the company released a business update that forecast fee-based growth of seven per cent to eight per cent from 2027 through to 2029.
