Jim Cramer Says Alaska Air Group (ALK) May Fall Further – Should Investors Wait on the Sidelines?
We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where Alaska Air Group, Inc. (NYSE:ALK) stands against other buzzing stocks after latest earnings season.
Markets were cheering the latest US-China trade deal, after which the two countries will significantly reduce tariffs on each other's imports for 90 days. The deal practically negates all bear cases modeled by Wall Street analysts based on the impact of tariffs.
Sylvia Jablonski, Defiance ETFs CEO and CIO, called the deal a 'game changer' during a program on CNBC.
'I think both countries probably saw a little bit of the demise of what would be here with a non-tariff deal as the data came in. You had a lot of complaints around China across all sectors and then in the US, retailers were reaching out to President Trump and saying that shelves are empty and, you know, a lot of panic about semiconductor software companies. I think that this is really a game changer for both countries, and the big message here is that both countries, it sounds like, decided that they really don't want to decouple, and, you know, make America great might also mean that, you know, China stays.'

PROPOSED RTO, $35 MILLION FINANCING & CONSOLIDATION OF THE PECOY COPPER PORPHYRY PROJECT IN SOUTHERN PERU
/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES./ VANCOUVER, BC, June 11, 2025 /CNW/ - Priyanka Capital Inc. ("Priyanka" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent with Pecoy Copper Limited, a special purpose vehicle ("Pecoy SPV") founded by the former management team of Nomad Royalty Company Ltd. The proposed transaction is intended to result in a reverse takeover of the Company by Pecoy SPV (the "RTO"). The Transaction Pecoy SPV has recently signed a series of binding acquisition and option agreements (the "Acquisition Agreements") with Copper X Mining Corp., Pembrook Copper Corp., and various private third parties to consolidate ownership of the Pecoy copper-gold-molybdenum project (the "Pecoy Project" or "Pecoy") located in southern Peru. Upon closing of the Acquisition Agreements and the RTO (the "Transaction"), the Company, to be renamed Pecoy Copper Corp. (the "Pecoy Copper"), will directly or indirectly either own, or hold an option to acquire, all of the properties comprising the Pecoy Project. Closing of the RTO is conditional upon receiving conditional approval (the "TSXV Conditional Approval") from the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") for the listing of the common shares of the Company on the TSXV. As part of the Transaction, Pecoy SPV has engaged Canaccord Genuity Corp. ("Canaccord Genuity") to act as lead agent and sole bookrunner in connection with a private placement of subscription receipts for gross proceeds of approximately $35 million. Management, officers and affiliates of Pecoy Copper intend to subscribe for up to $8.5 million of the private placement. Creating A New Leading Copper-Gold Focused Development Company The Transaction would unlock the full potential of one of the world's largest undeveloped copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry deposits by consolidating its ownership for the first time. The benefits of this transaction to the Company are expected to include the following: Pecoy Copper represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the world's largest undeveloped copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry deposits, with an Inferred Mineral Resource of approximately 865 million tonnes grading 0.34% Cu, 0.012% Mo, 0.05 g/t Au, and 1.33 g/t Ag; containing 6.5 billion pounds of copper and offering substantial resource expansion potential. The Pecoy Project has over US$65 million in historical investment since its discovery in 2011 that supports the potential for a large-scale, low-strip, open-pit operation at a favorable low elevation of 1,650 metres above sea level. Significant exploration upside exists not only at Pecoy but also across more than 19,772 hectares of surrounding concessions, including the Tororume Project, with multiple early and advanced-stage targets already identified. To date, only 48,576 metres of diamond drilling have been completed at Pecoy, with near-term priority targets in the center of the pit and south breccia zones. Initial metallurgical testing indicates a high copper recovery rate of 88%, with no deleterious elements detected. Further testwork will assess the potential to produce a molybdenum concentrate through Cu-Mo separation. The project benefits from robust infrastructure and long-term community agreements, including a 30-year surface access agreement with local communities, active drill permits, and an operational exploration camp — all of which support near-term drilling and development efforts. Peru is a top-tier mining jurisdiction, consistently ranked among the world's leading producers of copper, gold, silver, tin and zinc. Mining is a key contributor to the country's GDP and the global supply of metals. Strategically located within the Southern Peru Porphyry Copper Belt, Pecoy sits at the northwestern end of a district that hosts world-class deposits such as Cerro Verde, Cuajone, Toquepala, Quellaveco, Zafranal, and Cerro Negro, making it ideally positioned for rapid advancement. Proceeds from the upcoming financing will be used to complete 30,000 metres of exploration drilling, conduct metallurgical and geotechnical studies, and advance the Pecoy Project toward a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). The Offering Pecoy SPV has entered into an engagement letter with Canaccord Genuity to act as lead agent and sole bookrunner, on its own behalf and on behalf of a syndicate of agents (collectively, the "Agents"), in connection with an offering of subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.60 per Subscription Receipt (the "Offering Price") for gross proceeds of approximately $35 million (the "Offering"). The Offering shall be conducted on a "best efforts" private placement basis. Pecoy SPV has also granted the Agents an option (the "Agents' Option") to sell up to such number of additional Subscription Receipts as is equal to 15% of the number of Subscription Receipts sold under the Offering at the Offering Price. The Agents' Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time up to 48 hours prior to closing of the Offering. Upon closing of the Offering, the gross proceeds of the Offering, less certain payments to the Agents on account of their expenses and partial commission, shall be held in escrow until certain conditions are met, including receipt of the TSXV Conditional Approval and the satisfaction of all conditions to closing of the Acquisition Agreements. Each Subscription Receipt shall be automatically exchanged for, without payment of any additional consideration and without further action on the part of the holder thereof, one common share of Pecoy SPV upon satisfaction of the escrow release conditions prior to the date that is 90 days following the Offering closing date. Upon closing of the RTO, all Pecoy SPV shares, including the shares issuable under the Subscription Receipts, shall be exchanged for shares of Pecoy Copper. Additional details of the Offering shall be announced upon closing of the Offering. The net proceeds of the Offering shall be used to fund the cash consideration in connection with the Acquisition Agreements, advance exploration and development of the Pecoy Copper Project, as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes. The completion of the foregoing transactions is subject to a number of closing conditions, including shareholder approval in certain circumstances and the receipt of the TSXV Conditional Approval. "Pecoy Copper is a rare opportunity to unlock one of the world's largest undeveloped copper-gold-molybdenum systems," said Vincent Metcalfe, CEO, Director and Co-Founder of Pecoy Copper. "With a large-scale resource already defined, exceptional exploration potential, and long-term community agreements in place, we are well positioned to accelerate development. Pecoy Copper is set to play a meaningful role in Peru's mining future and the global copper supply chain. We're thrilled to launch this new chapter with the strong support of all our stakeholders." "Having worked in Peru for over 10 years, I, like Mr. Metcalfe, have continuously sought 'The Project' that combines established value, scale, exploration potential, and a clear development roadmap," commented Paul Matysek, Chairman and Co-Founder of Pecoy Copper. "Historically, the advancement of the project has been hampered by fractured ownership, but uniting both parts of the deposit for the first time is a major milestone that clears the way for further development. Our experienced team, an established resource with significant upside, a 30-year community agreement, and proximity to infrastructure, are key elements that will propel Pecoy Copper to success." Pecoy Copper Board and Management Upon closing of the Transaction, the management and board of the Company shall be reconstituted to lead the development of the Pecoy Project. The board will consist of Paul Matysek (Chair), Luis Zapata, Vincent Metcalfe, Jerrold Annett, Jose Luque and two additional nominees to be determined.

About the Pecoy Project The Pecoy Project covers an area of 9,975 hectares (ha) across 19 concessions without prior mining activity. The Project is located along the northwest extension of the Southern Peru Porphyry Copper Belt, a metallogenic corridor that hosts several large-scale porphyry copper deposits. The project area is underlain by intrusive rocks of the Coastal Batholith, including porphyritic granites and granodiorites, which are intruded by hydrothermal breccias, dacitic porphyries and multitude of dikes. Alteration consists of widespread sericitization (chlorite and sericite alteration) and silicification near the center of the system, grading downward to potassic and outward to propylitic alteration. Additionally, there are narrow gold-bearing quartz veins in the periphery of the system. Mineralization is associated with a porphyry copper system featuring well-developed supergene and primary zones, where copper occurs mainly as chalcocite and chalcopyrite. At surface, mineralization is almost totally oxidized. Leached, supergene, copper oxide, enrichment and transitional zones of the porphyry copper deposit are leached to a maximum depth of 200 to 240 m. The secondary enrichment zone has an average approximate thickness of 20 m, with a minimum of 2 meters and a maximum of 70 m. The primary mineralization extends to depths greater than 1,000 m, with significant copper and gold values hosted in breccia bodies and porphyritic intrusions and remains open laterally and at depth. The Pecoy Project is situated at the northwest end of the Southern Peru Porphyry Copper Belt which also hosts the large Cuajone, Toquepala, Quellaveco, Cerro Verde, Zafranal, and Cerro Negro porphyry deposits. Porphyry copper mineralization occurs above multi-phase intrusive complexes and can produce large tonnage, low grade copper deposits with possible by-products of gold and molybdenum. To date, the Pecoy Project includes 121 diamond drill holes totaling 48,576 m of drilling. Drilling has consistently intersected porphyry-style mineralization, with copper, gold, silver, and molybdenum values continuously distributed across the drilled area.

S&P and Moody's Upgrade Emaar's Credit Ratings, Citing Strong Financial Performance and Robust Revenue Visibility
DUBAI, UAE, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Emaar Properties PJSC (DFM: EMAAR), one of the world's most valuable and respected real estate development companies, has announced that both S&P Global Ratings and Moody's Ratings have upgraded the company's long-term issuer credit ratings, reinforcing Emaar's position as a financially resilient and strategically agile market leader. S&P Global Ratings upgraded its long-term issuer credit rating to BBB+ from BBB, while Moody's upgraded Emaar's long-term issuer rating to Baa1 from Baa2, both with stable outlooks. These upgrades reflect Emaar's robust financial fundamentals, consistent performance, and sound strategic direction. The same S&P and Moody's rating upgrade has been applied to Emaar's senior unsecured debt. As of March 2025, Emaar reported a revenue backlog of approximately US$ 34.6 billion, providing strong revenue and cash flow visibility through 2028. The company's recurring income portfolio continues to expand, supported by disciplined execution, resilient operations, and diversified income streams. S&P's upgrade was driven by Emaar's record-high backlog of US$ 29.9 billion as of December 2024, and healthy presales in the UAE of US$ 17.8 billion during 2024, alongside a net cash position, low leverage, and strong adjusted EBITDA margins. Moody's highlighted significant reduction in adjusted debt of Emaar from 2020 to March 2025 and the drop in debt-to-equity ratio over the same period. Mohamed Alabbar, Founder of Emaar, said: "We are proud to receive this recognition from both S&P and Moody's, which underscores the strength of our strategy, the quality of our assets, and the discipline we maintain in financial management. These upgrades reflect not only our performance, but also the confidence in Dubai's economy and real estate market. We will continue to pursue sustainable growth, innovation, and value creation for our shareholders and stakeholders alike." Emaar reported an interest coverage ratio of approximately 24 times for the year ending March 2025 and holds US$ 6.9 billion in cash (excluding escrow balances), along with US$ 2 billion in undrawn committed credit facilities, providing ample liquidity and financial flexibility. S&P noted that Emaar's strong mall, hospitality, and entertainment operations, in addition to the resilience of its real estate development business, contributed to the rating action. Dubai Mall recorded over 111 million visitors in 2024, with overall mall portfolio occupancy of 98.5%. These dual upgrades reinforce Emaar's reputation as a leading player in the global real estate sector.
