What are analysts saying about Nevsun Resources stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Nevsun Resources stock:

1. BMO Capital Markets analysts commented, "Nevsun reported a new resource update this morning with encouraging data points, including estimated higher zinc (Zn) recoveries from the Harena deposit, and a new high-grade resource at Asheli. As NSU's original Zn and copper (Cu) recovery targets are not yet proven to be achievable, we are modelling more conservative long-term recovery forecasts for Bisha. NSU's share price has not rebounded post the dividend cut last month and we believe the price has now reached an attractive valuation point, despite our more conservative forecast. We therefore upgrade NSU to Outperform." (3/24/2017)
