World's largest lithium producer chose this junior as its partner
The world needs 74 new lithium mines by 2035.
Few companies are positioned alongside a group actively building them.
One TSX Venture-listed company operates a 50/50 partnership with Ganfeng Lithium, the world's largest lithium chemical producer and the force behind one of the largest lithium deposits globally.
That changes the entire equation. They're working alongside a global industry leader with aligned incentives, shared funding, and a clear path from discovery to production.
And it's doing it in one of the last places the industry hasn't fully explored.
The explorer controls more than 4,200 km² across six African countries - the largest lithium-focused land position on the continent, in regions that have seen only a fraction of global exploration spending.
At its flagship Springbok Project, the company has already outlined what appears to be a new lithium district stretching over 50 kilometers, with more than 40 known spodumene-bearing pegmatites.
Sitting at surface is a stockpile with an estimated value of ~US$4.2 million, enough to effectively cover the project's acquisition cost and fund upcoming drilling without dilution.
So, while most companies are raising capital just to begin drilling... this one may already have the means to move forward. And Springbok is only one piece of the story.
In Mali, the company holds ground directly beside Ganfeng's own massive deposit.
In Zimbabwe, it moved from first pass to a meaningful drill intercept in under six months.
In Ivory Coast, drilling is already underway.
Same style of geology, same type of targets, and with a global lithium heavyweight already at the table.

3 Stocks Where Insiders Are Putting Their Own Money to Work
Written by Thomas Hughes. First Published: 3/18/2026.
Key Points
- Insider buying is clustering in E.W. Scripps, First Financial Bankshares, and Crane, signaling confidence—but each setup has distinct risks.
- E.W. Scripps is the highest-risk turnaround of the group, while First Financial Bankshares is positioned as the steadier capital-return story.
- Crane combines insider buying with raised guidance and a dividend increase, with analyst and institutional sentiment reinforcing the upside case.

Insiders are buying stocks in 2026, but that doesn't guarantee they're good investments. The names on this list carry risks, yet each shows upside potential tied to operational improvements and profit capacity. Headwinds persist, but the opportunity is meaningful — insiders typically have no reason to buy unless they see value. The remaining questions are how long gains will take to materialize and how high prices can climb. In every case, catalysts are present and the upside potential begins in the double-digit range.
Insiders Bet Big on E.W. Scripps Rebound Potential
Insiders have made notable purchases of E.W. Scripps (NASDAQ: SSP), suggesting they see value the market is overlooking. InsiderTrades data shows executives — including the CEO, a director and several family-related holders — bought shares in March. The volume and timing are striking: insiders hadn't traded the stock in years, and suddenly they are buying.

π Unlock the ticker now and get it completely free.Management is pushing efficiency, integrating AI to lower costs and expand growth, and focusing on sports and local broadcasting to broaden the network. Analyst expectations are muted: coverage is thin and consensus forecasts a contraction in fiscal 2027. Those estimates may not fully reflect potential recovery dynamics. The company also faces the broader challenges confronting traditional TV and is undertaking a high-risk turnaround while carrying meaningful debt.
Analyst recommendations are mixed — the consensus rating is Reduce, yet price targets imply roughly 80% upside. Institutional holders own nearly 80% of the shares and have accumulated stock over recent quarters. That institutional buying matches technical signals of a market bottom: a rounding base in 2024–2025 followed by a move above key exponential moving averages (EMAs) in 2026.
First Financial Bankshares Insiders Buy, Buy, Buy
First Financial Bankshares (NASDAQ: FFIN) has seen steady insider buying for five consecutive quarters with no insider selling. Activity was uneven through 2025 but accelerated to a historic high in early 2026, led by directors and the CFO. They purchased more than $650,000 in shares, bringing insider ownership to over 3.8% of the company's stock.
Key attractions include a roughly 2.5% dividend (as of mid-March) that appears sustainable — the payout is under 50% of earnings — ongoing share buybacks and a growing business. Book value rose more than 17.5% in fiscal 2025 and is expected to continue expanding in 2026. Buybacks have been meaningful, though they didn't fully offset dilution in 2025.
Analyst coverage is light (three tracked) but generally optimistic; the consensus rating is Hold and price targets point to about 30% upside from early-March lows, with room for more if trends continue. Institutional ownership is stronger, at roughly 70%, and institutions have been accumulating on a trailing-12-month basis, particularly after a solid Q1 2026 earnings report that reinforced the company's capacity to return capital.
Crane Company Insiders Think It Can Fly Higher
Crane Company (NYSE: CR) insiders purchased shares in early Q1 after the company reported a strong quarter, raised guidance and boosted the dividend by 10%. The yield is modest but well-covered: the payout ratio is only about 15%, leaving ample room for acquisitions to drive growth and shareholder value. Management and analysts expect mid-single-digit revenue growth in the coming years and margin expansion at a low double-digit pace.
Analysts are strongly bullish: of the eight tracked, all rate the stock a Buy and see roughly 30% upside. Institutions also show conviction, owning about 75% of the company's shares and buying aggressively in Q1. Institutional activity in Q1 translated to more than $3.50 bought for every $1 sold, creating a supportive base that helps limit downside risk.
This Beer Stock's Valuation Is Too Good to Ignore
Authored by Sam Quirke. Date Posted: 3/26/2026.
Key Points
- After a poor 2025, Constellation Brands' shares have also struggled to get going so far in 2026.
- However, a wave of recent analyst upgrades suggests the worst may be behind it ahead of a major catalyst in the form of this summer's FIFA World Cup.
- At the same time, an attractive valuation relative to peers means the downside is limited, and the risk/reward profile is solid.
- Special Report: The Biggest IPO Ever: Claim Your Stake Today
In a market dominated by talk of artificial intelligence and technology, it's not surprising that stocks like Constellation Brands Inc. (NYSE: STZ) can fly under the radar — which is exactly what's happened in recent months. Despite owning some of the most dominant beer brands in the U.S., the company's shares have struggled to generate meaningful momentum amid concerns about slowing demand and consumer weakness.
The stock is currently trading around $150. While bears have repeatedly tried to push it lower, it has managed to hold above last year's low. In fact, a series of higher lows has formed in recent months, suggesting selling pressure may be fading and a potential base might be forming. That's notable because, beyond the emerging technical setup, Constellation's valuation alone is beginning to look like a buy — let's take a closer look.
Analysts Are Turning Bullish in 2026

We've found The Next Elon Musk… and what we believe to be the next Tesla.

Peter Thiel just bet $1 Billion on it.
π Unlock the ticker now and get it completely free.Despite the stock losing roughly 10% of its value from February to late March, analyst sentiment has clearly begun to shift. Citigroup upgraded the stock to Buy on March 18, echoing RBC's Outperform rating. A week later, Goldman Sachs also reiterated a Buy.
If it were just a single update, it would be easy to dismiss as isolated optimism. But the run of analyst updates over the back half of March reflects a growing consensus that Constellation is not only positioned to navigate current headwinds, but could be set up for a strong rally in Q2.
Price targets are beginning to reflect that view. With estimates as high as $180, analysts are calling for roughly 20% upside from current levels. More importantly, lowered expectations mean even modest outperformance from Constellation could produce meaningful upside.
Demand Pressures May Be Nearing an Inflection Point
A common theme among the analyst notes tied much of the recent weakness to Constellation's core customer base. Hispanic consumers, who over-index for brands like Modelo and Corona, have pared back spending amid economic and immigration-related concerns.
There's a timely catalyst that could help reverse that trend: the FIFA World Cup is around the corner, and drinking beer while watching soccer is a habit closely aligned with Constellation's core demographic. That creates a natural tailwind just as the company appears positioned for stabilization.
There are also early signs the worst of the demand slowdown may already be behind the company. While its most recently reported revenue declined partly due to wine divestitures, underlying organic sales held up much better — suggesting the core beer business remains resilient. Brands like Pacifico and Victoria have continued to perform strongly, helping offset softness elsewhere and reinforcing the view that Constellation's issues are cyclical rather than structural.
A High-Quality Business Trading at a Discount
Perhaps the most compelling part of the story is valuation. Constellation Brands is trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of around 12, well below the sector median near 16. That disconnect suggests the market may have overreacted and sent the stock lower than warranted. In reality, the company continues to generate strong cash flow and has been actively improving its cost structure.
Management's cost-cutting initiatives are reportedly running ahead of schedule, and portfolio streamlining has sharpened focus on the most profitable segments. At the same time, the company has maintained a decent dividend payout while running share buyback programs — signaling management believes the stock is undervalued.
For investors considering a position, it's an attractive setup: Constellation offers a compelling valuation relative to peers, early signs of operational improvement, and multiple analysts recommending the stock.
The Setup Into Earnings Looks Compelling
With the next earnings report due in the second week of April, the timing could be favorable for shares to grind higher into the print as anticipation builds.
If the company can deliver even modest improvements in demand trends or margins, the market reaction could be meaningful. In a context of subdued expectations, it won't take much to produce an upside surprise. At the same time, the risk-reward profile looks relatively favorable: with the stock trading at a discount and sentiment cautious, downside appears more limited than it was earlier in the year.
