Ero Copper Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ero#NYSE">ERO</a>) shares rallied 5.2% in the last trading session to close at $23.11. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock&#39;s 4% gain over the past four weeks.
Ero Copper&#39;s share price has gained on the back of the surge in copper and gold prices. Copper futures for December delivery increased 3.33% in a day, closing at $4.64 per pound on Thursday as China implemented various stimulus measures to support economic growth. Copper prices have also been gaining after the Federal Reserve announced an aggressive interest cut of half a percentage point.
Gold price is currently around a record high of $2,670 per ounce as markets anticipate another rate cut in November. Risk of a broader conflict in the Middle East have also boosted prices.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.48 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +166.7%. Revenues are expected to be $148.8 million, up 41.4% from the year-ago quarter.
Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
For Ero Copper, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 10.5% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. And a negative trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn&#39;t usually translate into price appreciation. So, make sure to keep an eye on ERO going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Ero Copper belongs to the Zacks Mining - Non Ferrous industry. Another stock from the same industry, Lundin Mining (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lunmf#OTC">LUNMF</a>), closed the last trading session 4.2% higher at $10.75. Over the past month, LUNMF has returned 0.9%.
Lundin&#39;s consensus EPS estimate for the upcoming report has changed -8.7% over the past month to $0.21. Compared to the company&#39;s year-ago EPS, this represents a change of +90.9%. Lundin currently boasts a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).

<h3>Segment Review</h3>
Performance Coatings&#39; second-quarter revenues were $3,048 million. The segment&#39;s net sales were stable, as improved selling prices were offset by the sale of the non-North American portion of the traffic solutions business and adverse foreign currency translation. The figure was below our estimate of $3,101.8 million.
Industrial Coatings generated revenues of $1,746 million, a 4.6% year-over-year decrease. The fall is due to lower selling prices from certain index-based customer contracts and unfavorable foreign currency translation. The figure was below our estimate of $1,831.9 million.
<h3>Financials</h3>
The company had $1.2 billion in cash and short-term investments as of the end of the quarter. Net debt was $5.2 billion, down $0.4 billion from the prior-year quarter.
<h3>Outlook</h3>
The company&#39;s projected adjusted EPS for the third quarter is in the range of $2.10-$2.20. For the full year, the company expects adjusted EPS in the range of $8.15-$8.30.

<h3>Price Performance</h3>
Shares of PPG have lost 12.1% over the past year compared with 12.8% decline of its industry.

PPG Industries Q2 Earnings Top Estimates, Sales Lag

Endeavour Silver Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/exk#NYSE">EXK</a>) produced 2.2 million silver equivalent ounces in the second quarter of 2024, a 5% decline from the year-ago quarter, primarily due to reduced silver production at both of its mines, which offset higher gold output. The company also expects to commission the Terronera mine in the fourth quarter of 2024 and commence production in 2025.
<h3>Silver Production Declines on Lower Grades, Gold Up</h3>
Consolidated silver production fell 12% year over year to 1.31 million ounces. This was due to a 12% reduction in silver output at the Guanacev&iacute; mine and a 17% decrease at Bola&ntilde;itos, both due to lower grades.&nbsp;
Endeavour Silver, however, witnessed a 7% year-over-year improvement in gold production at 10,549 ounces. The growth was driven by higher gold grades mined at both Guanacev&iacute; and Bola&ntilde;itos, as well as higher gold content in third-party feed processed at Guanacev&iacute;. Gold output at the Guanacev&iacute; mine rose 9% year over year to 4,243 ounces, while the Bola&ntilde;itos mine output grew 6% to 6,306 ounces.&nbsp;
Guanacev&iacute;&#39;s silver production was 1.196 million ounces (down 12% year over year), which met the company&#39;s expectations. Gold production at 4,243 ounces (up 9%) was higher than expected due to increased gold grades mined and higher content in the third-party feed.
Local third-party feed contributed 15% to Guanacev&iacute;&#39;s quarterly throughput. At current prices, management expects local third-party feed to be higher than 10% of throughput going forward. The Guanacev&iacute; operations are realizing the benefits of the significant plant improvements and modifications made in 2023.
At Bolanitos, gold production increased 6% to 6,306 ounces, while silver production plunged 17% due to lower grades. Silver production was slightly below expectations due to decreased silver grades and lower silver recovery, while throughput remained steady. Milled grades are expected to show similar variations in the second half of the year.
<h3>2024 Production Guidance Maintained</h3>
So far in 2024, EXK has produced 2.2 million silver equivalent ounces and believes it is on track to attain its production target range of 8.1-8.8 million silver equivalent ounces in 2024.
<h3>Improved Metal Prices to Reflect on Q2 Results</h3>
For the second quarter, Endeavour Silver reported a 6% year-over-year decline in silver sales at 1.22 million ounces, while gold sales were flat at 9,887 ounces. At the quarter&#39;s end, the company held 262,160 ounces of silver and 939 ounces of gold in bullion inventory. EXK also held 5,860 ounces of silver and 322 ounces of gold in the concentrate inventory.
The lower sales figures will likely be offset by the elevated gold and silver prices observed through the second quarter and will reflect on Endeavour Silver&#39;s upcoming second-quarter 2024 results. We expect other industry players such as Hecla Mining (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hl#NYSE">HL</a>) and Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fsm#NYSE">FSM</a>), among others, to also benefit from this trend.
<h3>Peer Performances</h3>
Fortuna Silver Mines recently announced that it produced 116,570 gold equivalent ounces in the second quarter, which marked a 25% increase from the year-ago quarter. This includes a gold production of 92,716 ounces and a silver production of 990,574 ounces. While gold output marked a 44% year-over-year increase, silver was down 22%.
FSM maintains its gold equivalent production guidance for 2024 to be between 457,000 ounces and 497,000 ounces. Gold production guidance is pegged at 343,000-385,000 ounces while silver production is pegged at 4-4.7 million ounces.
Hecla Mining reported 4.5 million ounces of silver production in the second quarter. This marked a 16% improvement year over year, reflecting solid performance at Keno Hill. HL&#39;s gold production was up 6% at 37,324 ounces from the year-ago quarter as improved results at Casa Berardi offset lower output at Greens Creek.&nbsp;
Hecla Mining has produced 7.9 million ounces of silver in the first half of 2024 and believes it is on track to produce 17 million ounces of silver in 2024.
<h3>EXK&#39;s Price Performance</h3>
Shares of EXK have gained 43.8% over the past year compared with the industry&#39;s 43.3% growth.

Commercial Metals Company&#39;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cmc#NYSE">CMC</a>) results are gaining from strong demand in North America for each of its primary product lines. CMC is implementing price rises across its mill products, which will aid growth. The company&#39;s solid balance sheet bodes well.
However, results have been impacted by lower steel product margins than scrap costs. The company expects margins on steel products to experience further compression in the upcoming quarters. Sluggish demand in Europe is putting pressure on pricing and margins. These market conditions in Europe are expected to persist.
Solid Demand &amp; Pricing Actions: The impacts of the robust demand in North America for each of Commercial Metals&#39; major product lines are expected to be reflected in the company&#39;s results. CMC is also implementing price rises across its mill products in response to rapidly rising scrap costs, which will sustain margins.
The company expects the financial performance of the Emerging Businesses Group to gain from stable underlying market fundamentals and a solid order book. Business circumstances for the Europe Steel Group are gradually improving and should further benefit from increasing residential construction activity.
Impressive Strategic Actions: Commercial Metals will benefit from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act signed in November 2021, which will provide 1.2 trillion in funding over five years and stimulate an estimated 1.5 million tons of incremental annual rebar demand at a full run rate.
The commissioning of the Arizona 2 micro mill, as well as the addition of Tensar&#39;s engineered solutions capabilities, will provide the company with greater flexibility to capitalize on these favorable demand conditions.
Commercial Metals&#39; focus on augmenting its core capabilities while expanding growth in markets, customer groups and applications will aid growth. The company continues to gain from its ongoing network optimization efforts, which will yield additional margins and reduce costs in the near future.
Strong Balance Sheet: Commercial Metals&#39; total liquidity reached $1.5 billion as of May 31, 2024. The company reported cash and cash equivalents of $698 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with $592 million at the end of fiscal 2023.
Its strong liquidity, financial position and focus on reducing debt by strategic capital allocation approach will stoke growth. This further underscores the company&#39;s ability to meet debt obligations.
On Jun 19, Commercial Metals declared a quarterly dividend of 18 cents per share. The dividend will be paid out on Jul 10 to shareholders of record as of Jul 1, 2024.
<h3>Near-Term Concerns</h3>
The company has been bearing the impacts of lower steel product margins over scrap costs in North America and Europe. European Union sanctions placed on imported materials from Russia and Belarus are expected to tighten the supply of long steel products. If the situation persists, this is expected to dent the company&#39;s margin.
In Europe, sluggish demand put pressure on pricing and margins in the first half of fiscal 2024. Sentiment and activity levels in the company&#39;s construction and industrial end markets were impacted by general economic uncertainties.
In response to market imbalances, the Polish long steel industry has significantly reduced production and inventory levels. Conditions in Europe are projected to be challenging, weighing on the company&#39;s results.
<h3>Price Performance</h3>
Shares of CMC have gained 2.3% in the past year against the industry&#39;s decline of 0.2%.

Commercial Metals Bets on US Demand as Europe Market Ails

Suzano S.A. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/suz#NYSE">SUZ</a>) announced that it acquired a 15% stake in Lenzing&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lnznf#OTC">LNZNF</a>) from its current majority stakeholder, B&amp;C Group. This move will help Suzano gain proximity to new markets. 
The deal was set at 230 million euros ($249 million). Suzano and B&amp;C will form a long-term syndicate to hold a 52.25% stake in the Vienna-based cellulosic fibers supplier company. B&amp;C will hold the majority of the stake (37.25%) and remain the controlling member of the new syndicate. 
Under the deal, Suzano can acquire a further 15% stake in Lenzing from B&amp;C until 2028. 
Lenzing is a global supplier of premium cellulosic fibers for the textile and non-woven industry. This deal will further strengthen Lenzing&#39;s position as a global market leader for sustainable cellulosic fibers. SUZ aims to boost Lenzing&#39;s position with its established technology, product range and technical knowledge. 
SUZ will gain from Lenzing&#39;s deep-rooted understanding of pulp production and cost excellence. The partnership will help Suzano&nbsp; to strengthen its competitive position and global presence. 
The transaction marks the continuation of Suzano&#39;s strategy to focus on investments, which will enlarge its addressable market in scalable and competitive business models. The investment also moves the company closer to end consumers. 
Suzano reported annual net revenues of more than $7.6 billion in 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, the company reported net sales of $1.9 billion, down from the $2.2 billion reported in the prior-year quarter. The bottom line fell 95.8% year over year to 3 cents in the first quarter. The downside was due to seasonal effects on sales in the sector, and the recovery trend of international pulp prices and stable production costs.
<h3>Price Performance</h3>
Shares of Suzano have lost 3.7% in the past year against the industry&#39;s 35.9% growth.

Carpenter Technology Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/crs#NYSE">CRS</a>) has been gaining from strong demand in its markets, cost-cutting initiatives and efforts to preserve liquidity. Acquisitions and investing in additive manufacturing will also aid growth. 
Solid Backlog &amp; Strong Demand: In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, CRS&#39;s backlog increased 3% sequentially and 12% year over year, backed by strong booking growth. The company expects continued growth across its end-use markets, especially in Aerospace, Defense and Medical applications, which is expected to boost its fiscal 2024 results. Notably, Aerospace is gaining from the pickup in global travel. Demand continues to accelerate across all aerospace submarkets as the supply chain ramps up to meet steadily increasing travel demand. 
The company&#39;s record backlog levels indicate a positive near and long-term outlook for each end-use market. 
Impressive Pricing Actions &amp; Productivity: Despite a decline in revenues due to lower shipment volumes in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. CRS achieved a solid improvement in its earnings, courtesy of improved productivity, product mix optimization and pricing actions. For 2024, CRS projects an adjusted operating profit of $339-$344 million. If achieved, 2024 would mark the company&#39;s most profitable year on record.

To further drive shareholder returns, the company seeks to incorporate strategic initiatives to maximize market demand, accelerate growth, optimize operations and generate cash. 
Upbeat Long-Term Targets: The company previously expected operating income to double from the fiscal 2019 reported level by fiscal 2027. At the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2024, it revised its objective of $460 million to $500 million in operating income from fiscal 2027 to fiscal 2026. The upside will primarily be driven by higher prices, improved product mix and increased volumes. The rise in operating income will provide significant cash flow over the next several years, adding value to the company&#39;s stockholders. 
Strong Financial Position: Carpenter Technology&#39;s total liquidity (including cash and available credit facility borrowings) was $402 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

Solid Demand, Pricing Actions Aid Carpenter Technology

Comstock Inc. (AMEX:LODE) announced revisions to its agreements with RenFuel K2B AB regarding the development of RenFuel&#39;s previously planned biorefinery project at a pulp and paper mill in Sweden. The changes also aim to broaden the scope of Comstock&#39;s partnership with RenFuel in the European markets. This move will significantly expand the markets of their joint technologies. 
The amendments enable the liquidation of RenFuel&#39;s majority-owned subsidiary, RenFuel K2B Lignolproduktion AB. RenFuel formed the subsidiary to run its previously planned Swedish biorefinery as part of a joint venture with Preem. Comstock declined its option to step into the JV. 
The expanded partnership better positions both parties for the building and management of a larger-scale commercial facility based on the joint Comstock-RenFuel technologies in Europe, following the completion of Comstock&#39;s first planned facilities in the Americas. 
Comstock has already used RenFuel&#39;s patented catalytic esterification technology to refine its proprietary Bioleum derivatives into Hydrodeoxygenated Bioleum Oil capable of producing both SAF and Renewable Diesel Fuel. LODE has an exclusive license to RenFuel&#39;s refining technologies across North, Central and South America. 
Comstock aims to prioritize a number of opportunities for commercial facility construction in the Americas based on joint applications of Comstock and RenFuel technologies. This includes an initial 50,000 TPY facility and at least one 1,000,000 TPY facility primarily designed to convert qualified biomass feedstocks into Sustainable Aviation Fuel and Renewable Diesel. This is consistent with all of LODE&#39;s current negotiations with strategic and capital partners. 
The company reported a quarterly loss of 6 cents per share in the first quarter of 2024, wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 4 cents. The bottom line was flat year over year. Comstock posted revenues of $0.43 million for the quarter ended March 2024.&nbsp;
<h3>Price Performance</h3>
LODE shares have fallen 68% in the past year against the industry&#39;s growth of 7.3%.

Comstock Amends Its Partnership Deal With RenFuel

Friday is shaping up to be one of the strongest days for metal commodities in recent years. Gold climbed over 1.7% toward a record-high close above $2,400 per ounce, silver surged more than 6% to its highest level since February 2013, and copper hit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mining">an all-time high.</a>
What Happened: In a week marked by diminishing inflation fears, the case for Federal Reserve rate cuts strengthened. Additionally, news of a broad-based Chinese stimulus to support the struggling real estate sector sent metal commodities skyrocketing. Beijing announced measures such as reducing down payments for homebuyers and a state-financed package to convert unsold<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38895805/china-goes-all-in-as-beijing-vows-to-buy-unsold-properties-chinese-stocks-rally-copper-hits-all-time"> properties into social housing.</a>
Copper, extremely sensitive to China&#8217;s economic health as the country is the top purchaser of the red metal, rallied 4% to above $5 a pound. This surge marked a fresh weekly all-time high and its strongest day since November 2022.
Precious metals like silver and gold positively reacted to both interest-rate and Chinese-related developments. Silver spiked above $30, breaking out of a triple-top resistance pattern.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Expert Insights on Metal Commodities</h3>
According to Otavio Costa, macro strategist at Crescat Capital, central banks are &#8220;acquiring gold to enhance the quality of their international reserves and thereby strengthen the credibility of their monetary systems.&#8221; 
He highlighted that unlike many investors and traders, central banks have a long-term perspective, meaning that &#8220;the accumulation of gold by these institutions is just beginning.&#8221;
According to analysts at Goldman Sachs, copper remains a focus amid an ongoing short squeeze that has sent futures to record highs. The investment bank maintains a positive outlook on copper, citing the market&#8217;s structural deficit and forecasting a 20% increase from current levels.
Jeff Currie, former Goldman Sachs commodities strategist and now chief strategy officer of energy pathways at Carlyle Group, stated in a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-17/jeff-currie-says-copper-is-the-best-trade-he-s-seen-in-his-career?sref=TBDibEcD">interview </a>that the red mental still has more room to run, emphasizing copper&#8217;s importance in powering electric vehicles, updated grids and AI data centers.
