Summary - Ivanhoe Electric (IE) now offers a compelling risk-reward profile after its correction below $9, with a 'buy' rating justified by asset value and copper market dynamics. - Copper remains in a secular bull market, with projected long-term deficits supporting IE’s core thesis and the value of its Santa Cruz project. - Santa Cruz’s pre-feasibility NPV of $1.4 billion at $4.25/lb copper exceeds IE’s enterprise value, offering deep value and U.S. domestic supply premium potential.

- IE’s proprietary technology and JVs, notably with Ma’aden, provide long-term upside optionality, while current pricing offers a margin of safety despite sector volatility.
