IsoEnergy Continues Drill Testing at Flatiron, Targets Growth Near Tony M Mine; Provides Bulk Sample Update

-- IsoEnergy (NYSE American: ISOU and ISO.TO) continues its U.S. exploration program, focused on advancing its uranium projects in southeast Utah, the company said Thursday.

The 2026 program will include the completion of seven additional surface rotary drill holes with core tails, totaling 11,000 feet on the Flatiron Project, located in the Henry Mountains uranium district, approximately seven miles northwest of the company's past-producing Tony M uranium mine, IsoEnergy said in a statement. Drill mobilization to the project is complete and drilling is expected to begin shortly, it added.

This program builds on three drill holes completed late in 2025 and represents the next phase of systematic drilling at Flatiron, targeting follow-up of historical regional exploration conducted by Plateau Resources in the early 1980s. IsoEnergy staked the 370 lode claims that comprise the project in 2024, later adding two Utah state leases to bring the total land position to 8,800 total acres. The project is one of the largest contiguous land positions in the historical Henry Mountain District, where approximately 1.4 million lbs of U3O8 has been produced to date, Thursday's statement noted.

The mining component of the bulk sample at the Tony M Mine, announced on Jan. 7, 2026, has been completed, IsoEnergy said. Working with Gen X Mining Contractors, near 2,100 tons of mineralized material were mined without any injuries or lost time and the material is safely stored at Tony M., it added.

Philip Williams, CEO and Director, said: "Restarting drilling at Flatiron and the completion of the Tony M Bulk Sample represent two important components of IsoEnergy's U.S. strategy. Our exploration program is focused on systematically building on decades of historical work to unlock the potential of the Henry Mountain District, while the results from the bulk sample simultaneously aid in de-risking Tony M for production. The data we are generating today will directly shape the economics of our PEA and our path to becoming a uranium producer."

Shares in IsoEnergy rose 6.8% in Canada and 7.2% in the United States yesterday. They were at last look down 2.3% in US premarket trade amid losses across US futures markets.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Opinion On Shares Of The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We trim our 12-month target price by $8 to $155, valuing HIG shares at 11.3x our 2026 operating EPS estimate of $13.75 (cut by $0.45) and at 10.6x our 2027 EPS estimate of $14.65 (cut by $0.30), vs. the shares' one-year average forward multiple of 10.3x and peer average of 13x. Q1 EPS of $3.09 vs. $2.20 a year ago missed our $3.60 estimate and $3.39 consensus view. Operating revenue growth of 6.2% was in line with our 6%-10% forecast, amid 5.3% earned premium growth, 13% higher net investment income, and 7.9% fee revenue growth. Q1 written premium growth of 4% and full-year 2025 growth of 7% bode well for 2026 revenue trends as premiums are earned. Underwriting results improved significantly, with Personal Lines combined ratio improving to 87.7% from 106.1% and underlying combined ratio to 85.0% from 89.7%. Business Insurance combined ratio was stable at 94.8%. Weighing the Q1 EPS miss with HIG's decent top-line growth and discounted valuation to peers, we view the shares as undervalued.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Strong Buy Opinion On Shares Of Baker Hughes

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target price by $14 to $82, reflecting a combination of our sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) and DCF models. For our SOTP model, we presume the oilfield services business (about 50% of BKR's franchise) to be valued at about 10x projected 2027 EBITDA (in line with major peers) and its industrial energy technology business (the other 50%) valued at 14x projected 2027 EBITDA (in line with the peer median). This blended approach, yielding a 12x multiple, implies a value of $73 per share. Meanwhile, our DCF model, using medium-term free cash flow growth of 5% per year, terminal growth of 2.5%, discounted at a WACC of 6.3%, yields intrinsic value of $91 per share. We cut our 2026 EPS estimate by $0.47 to $2.48, but we raise 2027's by $0.07 to $3.24. We acknowledge that the oilfield services business is likely to struggle in 2026 owing to the U.S.-Iran conflict, but the IET business appears quite robust and likely to be a source of both accelerating revenue growth and margins.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion In Shares Of Wab

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lift our 12-month target to $285 from $275 following WAB's Q1 earnings print, valuing shares at 24.2x our 2027 EPS outlook of $11.76 (revised from $11.46; 2026 EPS estimate up to $10.57 from $10.50), a slight premium to WAB's long-term historical multiple average given structural improvements in earnings quality. While we are cautious on signs of overcapacity in the freight market, an elevated order backlog (12-month sits at over $9 billion), internal initiatives to shore up margins, and potential synergies from M&A activity positions WAB to continue growing earnings at double-digit rates in 2026-2027, in our view. Despite tariff-related cost pressures, WAB has done a commendable job of defending margins via a mix of pricing, lean manufacturing, and pruning of lower-profit operations. Q1 results were mixed but overall positive, in our view. We maintain our Hold recommendation on shares.
