B2Gold Corp (BTG) Rated as a Buy at BMO Capital
B2Gold Corp. (NYSE:BTG) is one of the best high-return penny stocks to buy now. On July 11, BMO Capital Markets analysts reiterated a 'Buy' rating on the stock. The Buy rating is based on the Canadian gold miner's series of positive updates. A close-up of a technician using advanced geological-surveying equipment, evaluating a gold deposit. The company has already announced a $740 million investment as it seeks to initiate its Gramalote gold project in Colombia. Once fully operational, the mine is expected to become a significant production asset yielding an average annual output of 177,000 ounces over 13-year mine life. It is also expected to average 227,000 ounces annually. In addition, B2Gold achieved a significant milestone with the first gold pour at the Goose Mine in Nunavut, Canada. The mine is in the process of ramping up to full production and is poised to become operational, producing between 120,000 and 150,000 ounces of gold per year. Consequently, the company remains well-positioned to capitalize on soaring gold prices as it ramps up production. B2Gold Corp. (NYSE:BTG) is involved in acquiring mineral properties, exploring, developing, and operating gold mines. The company extracts gold ore, processes it into gold doré bars, and sells them on the global market. It maintains operations in several countries, including Mali, Namibia, and the Philippines.

BMO Capital Markets leads the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) rankings for financial advisers in the metals and mining sector, both by deal value and volume, for the first half of 2025 (H1 2025), according to the latest league table published by GlobalData, a data and analytics company. As per GlobalData's Deals Database, BMO Capital Markets secured its top spot by advising on seven transactions, which collectively amounted to $4.1bn. In the value category, Macquarie held second position, advising on deals worth $2.3bn. The third place was a tie between GenCap Mining Advisory and National Bank of Canada, with each advising on deals valued at $2.1bn. In terms of deal volume, Canaccord Genuity Group took second spot, having advised on four deals. It was followed by a trio of companies – INFOR Financial, Evans & Evans and SP Angel Corporate Finance – each also contributing to four deals. GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose said: 'There was an year-on-year (YoY) improvement in the total volume and value of deals advised by BMO Capital Markets in H1 2025 as well as its rankings by these metrics. However, the growth was more prominent in terms of value. 'BMO Capital Markets' ranking by volume improved from the third position to the top position.

It is also noteworthy that the company registered more than a six-fold jump in the total value of deals advised by it in H1 2025.'

Bombardier Inc: Analysts Get More Bullish with Valuation Increases
Bombardier Inc. (BBD-B:CA) (BDRBF) Bombardier Inc. has recently received 3 positive analyst revisions, signaling growing confidence in the company's fundamentals and future outlook. On July 21, 2025, three major analysts — Citigroup, BMO Capital Markets, and CIBC — all raised their 12-month price targets on Bombardier stock, reflecting bullish sentiment on the aerospace firm's earnings momentum, strong order backlog, and continued focus on debt reduction and margin expansion. Summary of Analyst Revisions: Citigroup upgraded its price target significantly from C$109 to C$195, while maintaining a 'Buy' rating. Citigroup's aggressive target boost likely reflects optimism about Bombardier's expanding business jet market, improving free cash flow, and execution on cost controls. The 'Buy' stance underscores Citigroup's belief that the market continues to undervalue Bombardier's turnaround story and growth potential in premium aviation segments. BMO Capital Markets raised its price target from C$150 to C$185. BMO likely sees strong fundamentals behind Bombardier's delivery schedule, order pipeline, and potential to hit financial guidance for 2025. CIBC increased its target from C$167 to C$181, while maintaining the firm's 'Outperform' rating. CIBC's more measured increase still highlights a positive bias, possibly tied to recent quarterly results or an improving global macro environment for business jet demand. The relatively conservative bump could reflect a more balanced view on valuation or execution risks. Stock Forecast This coordinated wave of target increases suggests that analysts are aligned in recognizing upside potential for Bombardier, driven by a mix of internal performance and favorable sector trends. The stock appears to be regaining analyst confidence with the magnitude of the target increases which points to a bullish shift in sentiment. Investors may interpret this as a validation of Bombardier's turnaround strategy, especially in an environment where capital discipline, aerospace demand, and margin expansion are being closely watched. Bombardier Inc. currently holds a consensus analyst rating of 'Buy', indicating a broadly positive outlook from the investment community. This rating reflects the collective confidence of analysts in the company's strategic direction, improving financial health, and growth prospects within the global business jet market. The most recent average 12-month price target for Bombardier is C$170 per share, reflecting analysts' generally optimistic outlook on the company's performance over the coming year. This target suggests that analysts believe Bombardier's stock has some further room to grow from its current trading levels. The C$170 target is based on a consensus of analyst estimates, which typically factor in Bombardier's financial results, order book strength, macroeconomic trends, and competitive positioning within the aerospace sector.
