, /PRNewswire/ -- Greenland Mines Ltd ("Greenland Mines" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: GRML) has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent with an Icelandic industrial site owner, providing a concrete framework for technical, commercial, and permitting discussions.

The Company is also in discussions with additional parties and stakeholders in Iceland and in the broader North Atlantic region about these options and support for these.

This forms the first step in the Company's strategy as it takes advantage of its unique location, to evaluate multiple proximate industrial sites around Iceland and the North Atlantic with the purpose of identifying potential locations for a future downstream processing hub for material from the Company's Skaergaard Gold, Palladium, Platinum and Critical Metals Project in East Greenland.

Key elements of the North Atlantic processing strategy, which could save over $1 billion in life of mine energy costs while producing green Palladium, Platinum and Gold and Critical Minerals as end products, include the following:

Evaluating multiple large industrial zoned sites in Iceland, potentially with existing industrial buildings and facilities that can be refurbished, with deep water harbor access and robust power grid connections for a future Skaergaard processing hub Leveraging Iceland's low-carbon geothermal and hydropower system to target a step-change in processing power costs and significantly lower the overall project carbon footprint Refurbishing substantial brownfield industrial complexes where possible, reducing capital intensity and timelines by re-using existing buildings, heavy foundations and other infrastructure Embedding Skaergaard within a broader North Atlantic critical-minerals corridor, linking world-class geology in Greenland with world-class energy, infrastructure and logistics in Iceland for secure supply into North American and European markets Bo Møller Stensgaard, President of Greenland Mines, commented, "By moving now to evaluate multiple industrial sites in Iceland – and by already having a signed non‑binding Letter of Intent in place for such an activity with a local industrial site owner – we are turning our North Atlantic processing vision into a real, structured program. Replacing diesel‑based power with hydropower can translate into tens of millions of dollars in annual savings for a full‑scale plant, which is the kind of step-change that matters for a project like Skaergaard.

"Our goal is to build an integrated North Atlantic critical‑minerals corridor that investors and governments alike can get behind: world‑class geology and strong regulatory resource framework in Greenland, world‑class green and cheap energy and infrastructure in Iceland, and a clear route into North American and European value chains and industrial eco‑systems.  This is how we intend to differentiate Skaergaard and to keep adding value for our shareholders as we take the project through its next development phases."

The strategic program focuses on identifying large, industrial-zoned areas in Iceland in the range of approximately 100,000–200,000 square meters, with deep-water harbor access, potential for existing industrial buildings and heavy foundations, and power-grid connections to Iceland's low-carbon geothermal and hydropower system.

Several of the sites under review and discussion include substantial brownfield industrial complexes that could be relatively cost-effectively refurbished and repurposed for Skaergaard's processing requirements, potentially reducing both capital costs and construction timelines while re-using existing infrastructure in a responsible way.

A key driver behind the Iceland strategy is power cost and carbon footprint. In many remote Arctic locations, large-scale mineral processing would rely on diesel-based power generation, where all-in power costs can easily get into US$0.20 per kWh or higher.  By contrast, long-term industrial users in Iceland drawing on geothermal and hydropower have historically secured materially lower effective tariffs, and the Company believes that a realistic objective for a future large industrial-scale processing operation is to reduce power costs to potentially below US$ 0.03 per kWh.

Comparable industrial use in Iceland, for example, would be for the large aluminum smelters in Iceland that are currently in operation. At a full-scale processing facility with a continuous demand on the order of, for example, 50 MW (ca. 430 GWh per year), this illustrative represents a potential transformative improvement in project economics and resilience through the cycle. The potential cumulative Life of Mine savings could exceed $1 billion relative to a diesel-based Arctic operation.

Beyond power, Iceland offers a rare combination of year-round, ice-free deep-water ports, established industrial park frameworks, an experienced industrial workforce, and proximity to both Europe and North America. Construction cost and time for a large industrial complex would also be lower in Iceland.

Skaergaard is located roughly 400 km from deep-water facilities in northwestern Iceland and around 600 km from the Reykjavík area, corresponding to an estimated bulk-carrier sailing time on the order of about 20–30 hours, which further underlines the logistical fit between mine-site operations in East Greenland and a future processing hub in Iceland.

As part of this emerging North Atlantic value chain concept, Greenland Mines is also evaluating pre-processing options in Greenland, such as crushing and ore-sorting to produce a semi-upgraded product before shipment to Iceland for downstream extraction and refining in Iceland. This is one of the scenarios being considered. Such a staged approach could reduce shipping volumes and optimize energy use between Greenland and Iceland and further enhance Skaergaard's overall economic and environmental performance, subject to future technical studies and permitting.

For Skaergaard, that creates the possibility of an integrated North Atlantic value chain: ore mined and concentrated in East Greenland, shipped a relatively short distance to Iceland for low-carbon processing, and from there into European and North American critical-minerals supply chains.

The Company sees this as fully aligned with a growing policy focus on secure, transparent and geopolitically robust supply routes for critical and strategic metals, and with broader North Atlantic cooperation on infrastructure, security and economic development.

For investors, the combination of one of the world's largest undeveloped palladium-gold-platinum resources with additional potential critical and bulk metals, such as vanadium, gallium, titanium and iron, in Greenland with the prospect of a low-carbon, low-cost, infrastructure-rich processing hub in Iceland represents a powerful, differentiated opportunity. It speaks directly to project economics, ESG performance, jurisdictional quality, structural investments and developments, and long-term strategic relevance.

This North Atlantic processing initiative runs in parallel with the Company's ongoing technical, environmental and permitting work at Skaergaard, and forms a core part of its strategy to systematically de-risk the project's development pathway ahead of future study milestones.

For governments and policy-makers, the concept offers a tangible example of cross-border industrial development in the North Atlantic, leveraging complementary strengths – geology in Greenland, energy and infrastructure in Iceland, development and security in the North Atlantic and critical metals for Western allies – in a way that supports critical-minerals resilience, industrial and compliant development within robust regulatory frameworks, climate objectives and regional stability.

As a NATO member with a dormant but potentially soon-to-be-re-activated EU accession track, and with the ability to host green geothermal-powered processing of Skaergaard metals instead of diesel-generated power, Iceland provides a uniquely strategic bridge into European and North American transatlantic markets for low-carbon, security-of-supply aligned metals under evolving climate and critical-raw-materials policies. Skaergaard thereby emerges as a potential large-scale, industrial- and policy-aligned opportunity for climate-friendly "green" gold, palladium, platinum, vanadium, gallium, iron, steel and titanium.

Importantly, any potential development of activities in Iceland and Greenland will be subject to well-established environmental and social regulatory frameworks and approval, including complete permitting, environmental and social impact assessments and structured community consultation. Greenland Mines is fully committed to environmental compliance – not only to safeguard nature and the environment, but also to position Skaergaard as an attractive platform for potential strategic and financing partnerships as the project advances and as a reliable, attractive and long-term partner to downstream industrial users of precious, critical and bulk metals.

The Company expects the findings from this Iceland site‑evaluation program to feed into future technical studies for Skaergaard and will update the market as material milestones are reached.

Investors with an interest in Industrial Services stocks have likely encountered both SiteOne Landscape (SITE - Free Report) and Fastenal (FAST - Free Report) . But which of these two stocks offers value investors a better bang for their buck right now? We'll need to take a closer look.

The best way to find great value stocks is to pair a strong Zacks Rank with an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system. The Zacks Rank is a proven strategy that targets companies with positive earnings estimate revision trends, while our Style Scores work to grade companies based on specific traits.

Currently, SiteOne Landscape has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), while Fastenal has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold). This system places an emphasis on companies that have seen positive earnings estimate revisions, so investors should feel comfortable knowing that SITE is likely seeing its earnings outlook improve to a greater extent. But this is only part of the picture for value investors.

Value investors also tend to look at a number of traditional, tried-and-true figures to help them find stocks that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.

The Style Score Value grade factors in a variety of key fundamental metrics, including the popular P/E ratio, P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a number of other key stats that are commonly used by value investors.

SITE currently has a forward P/E ratio of 34.73, while FAST has a forward P/E of 37.00. We also note that SITE has a PEG ratio of 1.90. This figure is similar to the commonly-used P/E ratio, with the PEG ratio also factoring in a company's expected earnings growth rate. FAST currently has a PEG ratio of 2.90.

Another notable valuation metric for SITE is its P/B ratio of 3.98. The P/B ratio pits a stock's market value against its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. For comparison, FAST has a P/B of 13.11.

Based on these metrics and many more, SITE holds a Value grade of B, while FAST has a Value grade of D.

SITE has seen stronger estimate revision activity and sports more attractive valuation metrics than FAST, so it seems like value investors will conclude that SITE is the superior option right now.

Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when SiteOne Landscape (SITE - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended March 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The earnings report, which is expected to be released on April 29, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.51 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +16.4%.

Revenues are expected to be $980.07 million, up 4.3% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for SiteOne Landscape?For SiteOne Landscape, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +19.61%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #2.

So, this combination indicates that SiteOne Landscape will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that SiteOne Landscape would post a loss of$0.29 per share when it actually produced a loss of -$0.20, delivering a surprise of +31.03%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates two times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

SiteOne Landscape appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Pre-Market Stock Futures: Futures are trading higher this morning after a messy Wednesday trading session that saw all major indices except the Nasdaq end lower, with the Nasdaq closing virtually unchanged at 24,603, up 0.04%. The combination of soaring oil prices, the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates unchanged for the third straight meeting, and bogged-down negotiations with Iran, which are keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed, all added to the selling pressure. The President said flat out that he will block Iran until it accepts the nuclear agreements they have presented. The S&P 500 finished the day almost unchanged as well, down just 0.04% at 7,135, while the Dow Jones Industrials closed the session at 48,861, down 0.57%. The biggest loser on Wednesday was the small-cap Russell 2000, which is still the leading index in 2026, finishing down 0.60% at 2,739.

Treasury Bonds: Yields were up again across the Treasury curve on Wednesday, and Wall Street immediately pointed to the Federal Reserve’s stance of holding rates steady despite the highest number of dissents among the voting Governors since 1992, which marked the highest level of policy opposition in almost 35 years. The 30-year long bond closed Wednesday at 4.99%, while the benchmark 10-year note was last seen at 4.42%. 

Oil and Gas: The story of the day, of course, was oil leaping once again over the $100 mark in a big way, and moving back to the highest levels we have seen since earlier this month, but before that, the highest since the start of the war in Ukraine in 2022. President Trump’s line in the sand with Iran over the nuclear issue sparked buying, and when it was all said and done, Brent Crude finished Wednesday at $120, up 7.81%, while West Texas Intermediate was last seen at $108.20, up 8.27%. Natural gas closed the day at $2.65, down 1.64%. 

Gold: Gold continued its losing streak, posting a sharp decline for a third straight session. This extends a broader period of weakness, with gold dropping 8 out of the past 12 sessions. The current downward trend is still being driven by a stronger U.S. dollar, rising Treasury yields, and profit-taking after the metal hit record highs in early 2026. Gold closed the session down 1.11% at $4,543.90, while Silver ended trading at $71.27, down 2.37% on the day. Investors itching to initiate gold positions or add to current holdings need to be patient, as the sought-after hedge continues to consolidate after a staggering five-year run that saw the spot price soar.

Crypto: Crypto markets experienced a mixed, very cautious trading day on Wednesday, marked by falling trading volumes, a slump in crypto-related stocks, and pressure from multiple macroeconomic factors. While Bitcoin held onto key support levels, the broader market showed signs of slowing demand, with investors acting cautiously ahead of Federal Reserve updates. While there was no surprise that the Fed held rates steady, the commentary from Chairman Powell, likely in his last address as Chairman, did not paint a glowing picture for the economy, at least in the short term. At 8 AM EDT, Bitcoin was trading at $75,940, while Ethereum was last spotted at $2,259.

24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports daily to identify new investment ideas for both investors and traders. Some of these daily analyst calls cover stocks to buy. Other calls cover stocks to sell or avoid. Remember that no single analyst call should ever be used as a basis to buy or sell a stock.

Sutro Biopharma (NASDAQ: STRO) was started with an Outperform rating at Mizuho, which has a $50 target for the shares.

ICU Medical's new high-volume pump has more connected features, which we believe will drive retention rates and incremental revenue. SiteOne Landscape Supply controls 18% of this $26 billion industry and has been growing revenue at a low double-digit compound annual growth rate over the past several years. Madison Small Cap Fund liquidated its position in Globus Medical after a multi-year period because the company's success drove its market cap to $12B.
