NB Stock Forecast & Price Target

NioCorp Developments is making significant progress at its Elk Creek property, with the initiation of pre-construction activities and the release of final assay results showing improved project economics. The company's strong cash balance and the imminent start of mine portal construction, which is expected to lower capital requirements and expedite development, are key factors in our positive outlook. We also see the updated Feasibility Study as a major catalyst and continue to monitor financing discussions and permitting developments. Our Buy rating and increased PT reflect the advancement of NioCorp's DCF, driven by its future cash flows, and we believe continued progress should unlock significant shareholder value.

NioCorp Developments is facing significant financial challenges due to its lack of production, as evidenced by its net loss of $0.8M in FY2Q26 compared to $0.5M in FY2Q25. The company's attempt to secure debt financing may be further hindered by its non-binding offtake agreement with Traxys, which also includes a potential strategic equity investment up to $30.0M, subject to further due diligence and negotiations. Ultimately, the company's financial struggles and uncertain future prospects make it a risky investment.
