He prefers industrial metals and other commodities. He wonders if gold is still the safe haven that it used to be. Chart's meandering sideways. Price slightly below 200-day and 200-week MA. Decent yield of 3.75%, seems steady, may move higher. He'd prefer the traditional dividend stocks like telecom, banks, pipelines.
Reported earnings last night, which beat, though shares are down a bit, but an opportunity. Are well-managed who manage costs (rarely dilute shares with an offering). Also, their geographic footprint is fine, especially after buying Kirkland Lake earlier this years. Mines are in Finland, Australia, Mexico and across Canada, all safe geographies. Diversified portfolio.
Decline from 2020 into a big consolidation. Probably not too much lower. Since 2022, it's formed a reverse head and shoulders -- you have a low point, but the low points on either side are higher. Not a bad trading stock between $60-75, so this is the time to buy.
Trading means smaller amounts, and you can add if it goes above $74-75. Overriding issue with commodity price, be careful. $60 exit strategy. Short-side upside to $71-72, don't expect more until visibility on buyers coming in.
EPS of $0.8578 beat estimates of $0.7328 and revenues of $2.27B met expectations. The company delivered strong results driven by record quarterly gold production and better-than-expected cost performance. Management reiterated its gold production, cost, and capital expenditure guidance for 2023, expecting to produce 3.24 to 3.44 million ounces of gold with total cash costs per ounce between $840 and $890. It generated strong free cash flows, strengthened its balance sheet by repaying ~$1B of debt, and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share. These were solid results, and we feel that investors should be pleased with these earnings.
