Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 30% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published January 23, 2026
This is a short-term trade tied to a pending deal that could move the stock a lot in either direction. A key proxy adviser (Glass Lewis) recommended shareholders back the deal, which makes the agreement more likely. The price is already elevated, so it's wiser to buy only on dips or after the vote when price swings calm down, and keep positions small because headlines will drive the outcome.
Primary drivers
- Proxy adviser support reduces perceived deal risk near term
- Event-driven moves can beat the market for a short period
- Price swings after the vote can offer better buys than chasing strength
- Mining stocks react strongly to deal news and overall risk appetite
How it played out
NGD: thesis rose briefly but missed the target
Lyra published NGD at $12.68 on 2026-01-23 for a short-term window ending 2026-04-23. The thesis looked for 25% growth to $15.85. It pointed to proxy adviser support for a pending deal, possible event-driven gains, post-vote price swings, and mining-stock sensitivity to deal news and risk appetite.
Inside the window, NGD peaked at $13.63 on 2026-01-26, a 7.5% gain. It stayed below the target and never reached $15.85. By 2026-04-23, it ended at $12.16. The thesis only partially played out, with an early rise but no target hit.
Prices are shown split- and dividend-adjusted, matching what public charts show today.
