  • Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) concerns regarding mining activities, especially relevant with the growing emphasis on responsible investing.

Recent Acquisitions (3 years):

  • New Age Metals Acquisition (January 2023): Acquisition expands reserves of critical materials like copper and nickel, enhancing diversification in the US.

AI-Based Fundamental Rating: Rating: B+ (7 out of 10)

Justification: PGM boasts a strong position in the North American PGM market, a positive future outlook supported by planned expansions. However, concerns about ESG implications of mining, lack of dividend history, and exposure to commodity price fluctuations require caution.
