Western Copper and Gold Stock Target Cut by Freedom Broker

Western Copper and Gold's stock price target has been lowered to $5.25 by Freedom Broker, while maintaining its Buy rating on the shares.

The firm cited progress on the Casino project as a key factor in their decision, with the environmental assessment remaining a near-term value driver.

The company has strengthened its balance sheet with a current ratio of 31.48 and minimal debt, providing flexibility for the project's development.

Mitsubishi Materials' continued involvement and growing government support are seen as positive developments for the Casino project's long-term prospects.
