Neutral

NG is no longer just a gold-upside trade; the upsized placement gives it runway, but the stock now depends on proving Donlin Gold can advance from feasibility work into a credible development plan, with execution failures, ongoing cash burn, and dilution the main risks until it reclaims the 7.70–8.60 technical zone.
