 
Gold Near Record Highs as Wall Street Turns Bullish on U.S. Gold Corp. and Its Shovel-Ready Wyoming Project! Gold continues to trade near record highs above $4,300 per ounce, driven by geopolitical uncertainty, aggressive central bank buying, and renewed investor demand for hard assets. At the same time, copper—the backbone of electrification and clean energy infrastructure—is facing tightening global supply. Positioned directly at the crossroads of both metals, U.S. Gold Corp. (NASDAQ: USAU) is advancing its flagship CK Gold Project in Wyoming, one of the few fully permitted, shovel-ready gold-copper projects in the United States. The project hosts 1.44 million gold-equivalent ounces in proven and probable reserves and is designed to produce more than 100,000 gold-equivalent ounces annually at an estimated all-in sustaining cost of roughly $800 per ounce, with construction targeted for 2026 and no federal permits required. Wall Street is taking notice. Roth Capital recently raised its price target on USAU to as high as $26 per share while reiterating a Buy rating, citing improving economics, rising metals prices, and the company’s strategic domestic positioning. Additional analyst coverage from HC Wainwright and others reinforces growing confidence in USAU’s path to production and long-term upside. With gold near all-time highs, copper demand accelerating, and U.S. policy increasingly focused on securing domestic mineral supply, U.S. Gold Corp. stands out as a rare American junior miner offering near-term production leverage and exploration upside. Discover why analysts are raising targets on USAU as gold and copper reshape America’s mining future
Featured Content from MarketBeat.com Fifth Third Bancorp: An Inflection With Double-Digit Upside AheadBy Thomas Hughes. Date Posted: 1/21/2026. 
Article Highlights- Fifth Third Bancorp is well-positioned for organic growth and margin improvement.
- An upcoming acquisition could accelerate growth, margins, and capital returns.
- Institutional and analyst trends indicate the market is accumulating the stock, and double-digit upside could lie ahead.
Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB) stock is at an inflection point, and double-digit upside could lie ahead. A combination of favorable economic conditions, resilient consumer markets, operational strength, and acquisitional growth supports a robust outlook for cash flow growth and capital returns. Capital returns are critical for this financial stock, with dividends and share buybacks expected to increase in the coming years. The dividend yielded more than 3.2% as of January 2026—more than double the broad market average—and is growing annually at a 7.25% pace. A growing number of investors are paying attention to developments around private space companies and potential future public listings.
In a recent briefing, one research publisher outlines how some investors are seeking early exposure to the space economy through publicly traded assets — without waiting for a formal IPO. The presentation walks through the structure, risks, and mechanics behind this approach for those who want to understand how it works. Read the full sponsor briefing here That growth rate may slow in the coming years, but it is not expected to fall sharply; for the foreseeable future it should remain roughly double the inflation rate. At the same time, repurchases reduced diluted share count by an average of about 2% during fiscal 2025, and a similar pace is expected in 2026. Meanwhile, the dividend payout ratio fell below 40% as of year-end 2025. Overall, total capital returns were roughly 65% of GAAP net income in Q4. Fifth Third Bancorp Has Strong Year Ahead of Key MergerFifth Third Bancorp delivered a strong Q4, ending fiscal 2025 with revenue up 7.3% to $2.34 billion. Revenue came in line with expectations, but the result was underpinned by solid internals, wider margins, and an upcoming catalyst. FITB's guidance highlights 2026's primary catalyst, the acquisition of Comerica. The deal should improve both the scale and scalability of the business, potentially accelerating account and loan growth by year-end. The company forecasts the merger will compound organic growth and drive a greater-than-30% increase in net interest income (NII) and non-interest income—outcomes that would exceed current analyst forecasts, and could be outperformed given favorable macro and company-specific trends. Growth in Q4 was driven by consumer and commercial strengths, including record net investment income, 5% loan growth, and modest deposit gains. Margins were the real standout in Q4 and across 2025. NII reached record levels, and improving credit trends aided the bottom line: charge-offs and non-performing assets both declined year-over-year, contributing roughly 700 basis points of bottom-line outperformance despite tepid top-line results. That strength is expected to be amplified in the year ahead. Analysts and Institutions Accumulate FITB StockAnalyst and institutional trends for FITB are bullish, signaling accumulation. MarketBeat's data shows analyst coverage of FITB rose about 22% year-over-year as of January 2026. The company's Moderate Buy rating remains firm, with an 86% buy-side bias and rising price targets. Analysts' consensus midpoint implies roughly 10% upside, with the high end of price targets suggesting as much as 45% potential upside. The institutional group owns about 85% of the stock and was a net buyer throughout 2025, purchasing nearly $2 for every $1 sold. So far, that trend has continued into the first weeks of 2026. Stock price action in 2025 and early 2026 reflects the company's solid financial position and sell-side interest. The stock rebounded from the Q2 2025 low set in April and moved steadily higher through the year. 
The setup in early 2026 suggests the market could push to a fresh high, breaking a key resistance that represents a multi-decade level. That inflection could open the door to as much as a 40% advance.
