Looking at the universe of stocks we cover at Dividend Channel, on 6/30/25, FirstService Corp (Symbol: FSV), OR Royalties Inc (Symbol: OR), and Mondelez International Inc (Symbol: MDLZ) will all trade ex-dividend for their respective upcoming dividends. FirstService Corp will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.275 on 7/8/25, OR Royalties Inc will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.055 on 7/15/25, and Mondelez International Inc will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.47 on 7/14/25. As a percentage of FSV's recent stock price of $171.37, this dividend works out to approximately 0.16%, so look for shares of FirstService Corp to trade 0.16% lower — all else being equal — when FSV shares open for trading on 6/30/25. Similarly, investors should look for OR to open 0.22% lower in price and for MDLZ to open 0.70% lower, all else being equal.

FirstService Corp (Symbol: FSV):
OR Royalties Inc (Symbol: OR):
Mondelez International Inc (Symbol: MDLZ):
In general, dividends are not always predictable, following the ups and downs of company profits over time. Therefore, a good first due diligence step in forming an expectation of annual yield going forward, is looking at the history above, for a sense of stability over time. This can help in judging whether the most recent dividends from these companies are likely to continue. If they do continue, the current estimated yields on annualized basis would be 0.64% for FirstService Corp, 0.86% for OR Royalties Inc, and 2.79% for Mondelez International Inc.
In Thursday trading, FirstService Corp shares are currently off about 3.4%, OR Royalties Inc shares are down about 0.2%, and Mondelez International Inc shares are down about 1.7% on the day.

LYB’s Segment Highlights
In the Olefins & Polyolefins — Americas division, revenues decreased roughly 13.6% year over year to $2,481 million in the first quarter. The figure missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2,737.8 million. EBITDA fell by $270 million from the first quarter of 2024. The decline in Olefins results was about $120 million, mainly due to reduced ethylene margins caused by higher energy costs and lower prices for co-products.
The Olefins & Polyolefins — Europe, Asia, the international segment recorded revenues of $2,600 million, down 5.3% from the prior-year quarter. The figure beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2,550.8 million. Olefins results declined by around $20 million year over year, primarily due to reduced margins from increased feedstock costs. This was partially offset by higher ethylene prices, while lower volumes from unplanned downtime adversely impacted results.
The Advanced Polymer Solutions segment posted revenues of $908 million, down 5.9% from $965 million in the prior-year quarter. The figure lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $948.4 million. EBITDA rose by $11 million year over year, mainly due to improved sales margins and better cost efficiency.
Revenues in the Intermediates and Derivatives segment decreased around 11.1% on a year-over-year basis to $2,298 million. The figure missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2,472.9 million. Propylene Oxide & Derivatives results fell by about $25 million from the previous period, primarily due to reduced margins on raw materials and derivatives.
The Technology segment’s revenues were $120 million in the reported quarter, down around 37.5% year over year. The figure lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $175.4 million. EBITDA fell by $66 million from the first quarter of 2024. This decline was due to reduced licensing revenues from fewer contracts, along with lower catalyst margins and volumes driven by weaker market sentiment.
LYB’s Financials
In the first quarter, the company used $579 million in cash from operating activities and surpassed its long-term cash conversion target over the past year. It maintained a balanced capital allocation strategy, investing $483 million in capital expenditures and returning $543 million to shareholders through dividends and stock buybacks.
LYB’s Outlook
For the second quarter, the company anticipates improved seasonal demand across most of its business segments. U.S. natural gas and ethane feedstock prices have eased, while lower crude oil costs are benefiting operations in Europe and Asia. Oxyfuels margins are expected to rise as gasoline crack spreads widen during the summer driving season. In Europe, ongoing rapid capacity reductions are projected to enhance the regional supply-demand balance over time. Furthermore, a more constructive stance on economic and regulatory policies in Europe is contributing to cautious optimism. Despite ongoing economic uncertainty, global demand for packaging is expected to stay firm, supporting essential sectors like food, healthcare and daily consumer goods.
To meet global demand and accommodate planned maintenance, LYB expects second-quarter operating rates of 85% for its North American olefins and polyolefins (O&P) facilities, 75% for European O&P operations and 85% for Intermediates & Derivatives (I&D) assets.
LYB’s Price Performance
Shares of LyondellBasell have lost 40.6% in the past year compared with a 25.7% decline of the industry.

LyondellBasell's Earnings Lag Estimates, Sales Beat in Q1

Investors in Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd (Symbol: OR) saw new options become available this week, for the October 17th expiration. One of the key data points that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 238 days until expiration the newly available contracts represent a possible opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the OR options chain for the new October 17th contracts and identified the following call contract of particular interest.
The call contract at the $20.00 strike price has a current bid of $1.25. If an investor was to purchase shares of OR stock at the current price level of $18.40/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $20.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 15.49% if the stock gets called away at the October 17th expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if OR shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing OR's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $20.00 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $20.00 strike represents an approximate 9% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 48%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 6.79% boost of extra return to the investor, or 10.42% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
The implied volatility in the call contract example above is 36%.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 250 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $18.40) to be 28%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

Find the latest earnings estimates and surprises on Zacks Earnings Calendar.

IAG’s Earnings Surprise History
IAMGOLD’s bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters. Over the same period, the company recorded an average earnings surprise of 203.4%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
What the Zacks Model Unveils for IAG
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for IAMGOLD this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, but that is not the case here.
Earnings ESP: The Earnings ESP for IAG is 0.00%. You can uncover the best stocks before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Zacks Rank: IAMGOLD currently carries a Zacks Rank of 3. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Factors Likely to Have Shaped IAG’s Q4 Performance
Last month, IAMGOLD provided its fourth-quarter production and sales update, which may show how it is likely to fare in the to-be-reported quarter.
IAG’s attributable gold production was 177,000 ounces compared with 136,000 ounces in the fourth quarter of 2023. This growth was driven by the contribution from the Côté Gold mine, which started production in 2024, along with improved performances at Westwood.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, Côté Gold produced 62,000 attributable ounces (or 96,000 ounces on a 100% basis). IAMGOLD had expected to exit the quarter at 90% throughput. However, the company fell short of the target due to ramp-up-related challenges, which required downtime to implement solutions.
The Westwood mine produced 35,000 ounces of gold compared with 28,000 ounces in the fourth quarter of 2023. The mine continues to benefit from higher head grades due to an increase in the grade and an increased proportion of the ore feed from underground.
Essakane mine’s attributable production was 80,000 ounces in the fourth quarter, lower than 108,000 ounces in the year-ago quarter. Average head grades decreased, in line with the mine plan and guidance. In December, Essakane completed an annual shutdown of the plant for maintenance and replacement of liners.
IAG’s fourth-quarter gold sales were 177,000 ounces on an attributable basis, at an average realized gold price of approximately $2,509 per ounce. This approximates to revenues of $444 million. IAG’s fourth-quarter 2023 revenues were $298 million.
However, pricing for certain main consumables, including cyanide and grinding media, is expected to have dented IAMGOLD’s margins. Also, at the Côté Gold Mine, operating and capitalized waste stripping unit costs are anticipated to have been higher until it achieves a throughput rate of 90%.
While these factors are likely to have somewhat dented IAG’s earnings, higher revenues are expected to have offset the impacts.
IAG Stock’s Price Performance
IAG stock has gained 148% over the past year compared with the industry’s 50.4% growth.

Find the latest earnings estimates and surprises on Zacks Earnings Calendar.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The consensus estimate for Cameco’s revenues is $744 million, indicating 20% growth from the year-ago quarter's actual.

Cameco’s earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters. CCJ has an average trailing four-quarter negative earnings surprise of 66.60%. The trend is shown in the chart below.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
What the Zacks Model Unveils for Cameco Stock
Our proven model predicts an earnings beat for CCJ this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is the case here as elaborated below.
You can uncover the best stocks before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Earnings ESP: The Earnings ESP for Cameco is 9.29%.
Zacks Rank: CCJ currently carries a Zacks Rank of 3. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Factors Likely to Have Shaped CCJ’s Q4 Performance
CCJ has a 69.8% stake in the McArthur River mine and 83% interest in the Key Lake mill, the world's largest high-grade uranium mine and mill. Cameco owns a 54.5% interest in Cigar Lake, which is the world’s highest-grade uranium mine.
Cameco’s expected share from these mines is 23.1 million pounds in 2024 compared with 17.6 million pounds in 2023. During the first nine-month period of 2024, the company’s share of production totaled 17.3 million pounds, implying a fourth-quarter production target of 5.8 million. This is slightly above the production volume of 5.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.
CCJ had stated plans to sell 32-34 million pounds of uranium in 2024. Having sold 20.8 million pounds in the first nine-month period of 2024, Cameco had to sell 11.2-13.2 million pounds of uranium in the fourth quarter of 2024 to meet the target. This indicates a rise from the 9.8 million pounds sold in the fourth quarter of 2023. Its uranium revenues are expected to have benefited from higher sales volume, offset by lower uranium prices. Notably, uranium spot prices averaged around $76.75 per pound for the fourth quarter, 7% lower year over year.
Cameco also owns a 40% stake in the Inkai mine, which has been facing procurement and supply-chain issues, mainly related to sulfuric acid deliveries. Transportation challenges, construction delays and inflationary production costs are other headwinds. Cameco had lowered the production outlook for Inkai by 0.6 million to 7.7 million pounds (on a 100% basis) of uranium.
At Port Hope, annual UF6 (uranium hexafluoride) production was projected between 11,000 and 11,500 tons in 2024. This is lower than the previous expectation of 12,000 tons due to temporary operational issues in the first half of 2024.
Fuel services (which include UF6 conversion, UO2 and heavy water reactor fuel bundles) production for 2024 is expected to be in the band of 13.5-14.5 million kgU, indicating a rise from 13.3 million kgU reported in 2023. Sales deliveries are expected to reach 12-13 million kgU in 2024, whereas the metric was 12 million kgU in 2023. This implies fourth-quarter production at 3.6-4.6 million kgU and sales at 4.1-5.1 million kgU. In the fourth quarter of 2023, production was 3.7 million kgU and sales volumes were 4.2 million kgU.
These anticipated improvements in production and sales for fuel services are likely to have positively influenced CCJ’s fourth-quarter performance.
Meanwhile, the average unit cost of production at McArthur River/Key Lake is expected to have been higher in the quarter due to the production ramp-up. The average unit cost of sales in the fuel services segment is likely to have been elevated than the prior-year quarter’s actual due to the lower production expectations at the Port Hope conversion facility. CCJ will continue to incur care and maintenance costs for the ongoing curtailment of its tier-two assets, which are expected between $50 million and $60 million.
Cameco has been progressing to lower administration, exploration and operating costs as well as capital expenditure. This is likely to have helped offset the impacts of elevated costs on CCJ’s earnings.
In November 2023, CCJ acquired a 49% interest in Westinghouse Electric Company. Due to normal variability in the timing of its customer requirements, and delivery and outage schedules, the Westinghouse segment is expected to have delivered a stronger performance in the fourth quarter of 2024. CCJ’s share of adjusted EBITDA from Westinghouse is expected between $460 million and $530 million in 2024. Of this, $227 million of EBITDA was realized in the first nine months of 2024 and $140-$210 million remains to be realized in the fourth quarter of 2024.
CCJ’s Price Performance
Shares of Cameco have gained 11.9% in a year against the industry’s 8.6% decline.

Cameco Gears Up to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in Store?

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd OR announced an amendment to its silver stream by increasing its attributable silver percentage by 12.5% to 100% with respect to the Gibraltar copper mine. Osisko also announced that it has closed the previously announced acquisition of 1.8% gross revenue royalty on the Dalgaranga Gold project for $44 million.
The mine is operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Taseko Mines Limited. Osisko and Taseko have also extended the step-down silver delivery threshold to 6,811,603 ounces delivered. In exchange for these amendments, Osisko has paid an additional deposit amount of $12.7 million to Taseko.
In addition to the 1.8% gross revenue royalty, OR has also closed the acquisition of a 1.35% gross revenue royalty on additional regional exploration licenses in proximity to Dalgaranga for $6 million.
Osisko’s shareholders will benefit from the increased silver stream transaction that is consistent with its strategy of adding cash flow from long-life assets in Tier 1 mining jurisdictions.
In the case of Dalgaranga, since the agreement to acquire the Dalgaranga Royalty was announced on Sept. 30, 2024, its operator, Spartan, has continued to deliver on key milestones. These include the receipt of all key approvals and permits required for underground mining and development, the discovery of a new high-grade gold zone called “Freak,” and the release of an updated Mineral Resource Estimate, which demonstrated an impressive 68% increase in contained Indicated ounces, and which will serve as the basis for the upcoming Dalgaranga Feasibility Study.

Osisko Boosts Gibraltar Silver Stream, Closes Dalgaranga Royalty Deal

Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the iShares North American Natural Resources ETF (Symbol: IGE), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $53.29 per unit.
With IGE trading at a recent price near $45.44 per unit, that means that analysts see 17.27% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of IGE's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are Kinross Gold Corp. (Symbol: KGC), Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd (Symbol: OR), and Wheaton Precious Metals Corp (Symbol: WPM). Although KGC has traded at a recent price of $9.75/share, the average analyst target is 23.92% higher at $12.08/share. Similarly, OR has 18.51% upside from the recent share price of $19.16 if the average analyst target price of $22.71/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting WPM to reach a target price of $72.03/share, which is 17.45% above the recent price of $61.33. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of KGC, OR, and WPM:
Below is a summary table of the current analyst target prices discussed above:
Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now? Do the analysts have a valid justification for their targets, or are they behind the curve on recent company and industry developments? A high price target relative to a stock's trading price can reflect optimism about the future, but can also be a precursor to target price downgrades if the targets were a relic of the past. These are questions that require further investor research.

What the Zacks Model Indicates for Sealed Air
Our model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Sealed Air this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. That is not the case here.
Earnings ESP: Sealed Air has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%. You can uncover the best stocks before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Zacks Rank: The company currently carries a Zacks Rank of 3.
Factors Likely to Have Shaped SEE’s Q3 Performance
Sealed Air’s Protective segment experienced lower volumes for 10 consecutive quarters. The company expects the weakness to persist throughout 2024 and continue in 2025. For the Protective segment, our model indicates a volume decline of 7% for the third quarter.
After witnessing lower volumes for seven quarters, the Food segment’s volumes returned to growth in the first quarter of 2024, driven by solid demand for bags, case-ready and automated solutions. The impacts of this are expected to get reflected in the third-quarter segment results as well. Volumes for the segments are also likely to have benefited from the demand for automated equipment and sustainable packaging solutions. Our model projects the Food segment’s volumes to rise 3% year over year in the third quarter.
Nonetheless, higher volumes in the segment are likely to have been offset by continued weakness in the Protective segment this year.
Our model estimate for the Food segment’s third-quarter net sales is pegged at $893 million, suggesting a fall of 0.1% from the prior-year period’s reported figure. The impacts of pricing (negative 2.5%) are likely to have offset the gains from higher volumes and dented the segment’s top line. Our estimate for the segment’s adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) stands at $196 million, indicating a year-over-year rise of 0.8%.
Our estimate for the Protective segment’s third-quarter net sales is $442 million, implying a year-over-year dip of 9.4%. This is mainly due to the volume decline and pricing impacts of negative 2.3%. Our estimate for the segment’s adjusted EBITDA is pegged at $79 million, suggesting a year-over-year decrease of 16.8%.
Sealed Air’s overall volumes are expected to dip 0.5%, per our model. We expect pricing impacts of 2.4% for the quarter.
Savings from the company’s Reinvent SEE Strategy initiatives have been driving productivity gains and mitigating supply-chain challenges. This is expected to have driven the operating margin performance in the September-ended quarter.
Sealed Air’s Price Performance
In the past year, shares of Sealed Air have gained 10.6% compared with the industry’s 27.1% growth.

Will Protective Segment's Low Volumes Impact Sealed Air's Q3 Earnings?

Rockwell Automation Inc. ROK is expected to witness declines in revenues and earnings when it reports fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 results on Nov. 7, before the opening bell.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings has been unchanged over the past 60 days at $2.40 per share. The consensus mark implies a 34.1% plunge from the year-ago actual. The consensus estimate for revenues is pegged at $2.07 billion, indicating a 19.4% year-over-year decline.

ROK’s Earnings Surprise History
Rockwell Automation’s earnings surpassed estimates thrice in the trailing four quarters and missed on the remaining occasion, the average surprise being 6.7%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
What the Zacks Model Indicates for Rockwell Automation
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Rockwell Automation this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat.
Earnings ESP: Rockwell Automation has an Earnings ESP of -1.13%. You can uncover the best stocks before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Zacks Rank: The company currently carries a Zacks Rank of 3.
Factors Likely to Have Shaped ROK’s Q4 Performance
The Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing index has been below 50% in the July-September quarter, averaging 47.1%. Demand was subdued as companies refrained from making capital investments. This was evident from the New Orders Index, which was also below 50% through July-September.
In the fiscal third quarter , the company reported negative 8.4% organic growth. Rockwell Automation noted that there had been a buildup of excess inventory among customers, particularly machine builders. It stated that it did not expect a significant acceleration in order levels this fiscal year.
The impacts of the decrease in order levels are likely to get reflected in Rockwell Automation’s fiscal fourth-quarter top-line results. This downside is expected to have been somewhat offset by favorable pricing. Our model predicts an organic sales decline of 21.7%. This will be offset by a 2.4% contribution from acquisitions.
ROK has been experiencing increased logistics prices due to higher energy costs and constrained air freight lanes. Also, increased spending on talent and growth, unfavorable mix, and currency are expected to have impacted margins.
Rockwell Automation’s Q4 Segment Expectations
We expect the Intelligent Devices segment’s fiscal fourth-quarter revenues to decline 18% year over year to $960 million. Our prediction for the segment’s operating profit is $185 million, indicating a year-over-year decrease of 19.3%.
Our model predicts the Software & Control segment’s sales at $512 million, suggesting a 37.7% decline from the prior year’s actual. The segment’s operating profit, pinned at $121 million, indicates a 55.9% plunge from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
We expect the Lifecycle Services segment’s sales to be $584 million, implying 2.2% growth from the prior-year period’s actual. The estimate for the segment’s operating profit is $102 million. The figure indicates a 114.5% surge from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
ROK’s Price Performance
In the past year, Rockwell Automation’s shares have gained 4.3% against the industry’s 5.5% decline.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
What the Zacks Model Unveils for IFF
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for International Flavors this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that is not the case here.
Earnings ESP: IFF has an Earnings ESP of -2.67%. You can uncover the best stocks before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Zacks Rank: The company currently sports a Zacks Rank of 1. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Factors Likely to Have Shaped IFF’s Q3 Performance
The company has been witnessing volume declines in the Functional Ingredients business, which falls under the Nourish segment. Even though there had been a sequential improvement in the second quarter of 2024, sales were impacted by lower pricing. This is expected to have been a drag on the Nourish segment's performance as well.
Our model estimates the Nourish segment’s third-quarter sales to be down 5.8% year over year to $1.37 billion. The segment’s operating EBITDA is projected at $198 million, indicating a rise of 11% from the year-ago quarter’s actual, backed by strategic actions to improve performance and productivity gains.
We expect the Scent segment’s sales to increase 6.7% year over year to $656 million. The ongoing momentum in Consumer Fragrance, as well as improvement in Fragrance Ingredients and Fine Fragrance, is likely to have aided its performance. Our estimate for the segment’s quarterly operating EBITDA is $139 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 6%, driven by volume growth and productivity gains.
The projection for the Health & Biosciences segment’s sales is $555 million, indicating a 7% increase from the year-ago quarter’s figure due to the ongoing momentum in its businesses. Driven by volume growth and productivity gains, we expect operating EBITDA to increase 3% to $155 million.
The Pharma Solutions segment’s sales are projected to inch up 0.7% year over year to $240 million as volume growth will be somewhat offset by lower pricing. The segment's operating EBITDA is expected to fall 6% from the year-ago figure to $44 million. Volume growth and productivity gains are likely to have been offset by an unfavorable mix.
In March 2024, IFF had announced its intention to sell the Pharma Solutions business to Roquette. The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2025. This will help International Flavors focus on its core business operations, strengthen its balance sheet and maximize shareholder return.
International Flavors’s results are likely to reflect the overall improvement in sales performances in each of its segments, barring Nourish. Favorable raw material costs, along with IFF’s ongoing efforts to improve productivity and reduce costs, are likely to have benefited its margins.
IFF Stock’s Price Performance
In the past year, IFF’s shares have gained 46.1% against the industry’s 1.2% decline.
