Experts have mixed views on Barrick Mining (ABX-T), primarily weighing the company's strategic moves and the broader gold market dynamics. Several analysts have expressed concerns regarding Barrick's management of shareholder capital and their lagging production growth compared to other gold producers, with a notable preference for Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM) due to its safer mining jurisdictions. However, some see Barrick as a quality investment with tier-one assets and a strong strategic position, particularly in light of rising gold prices that could bolster earnings. The potential spin-off of non-core assets is viewed as a positive move aimed at isolating less risky ventures. Overall, while the enthusiasm for gold remains strong, especially with ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, Barrick's performance and management choices have led to a cautious outlook from some analysts who suggest looking to other gold names for better returns.

DON'T BUY

Gold? The gold bugs are out in force right now -- and he is not a believer. His model price is $14.85 -- much weaker than where it trades today.

TOP PICK

He hasn't recommended it in a while. The stock has a beautiful balance sheet. It has been holding it's previous gains nicely. Even with current gold prices, it has upside. It is a senior and stable company that is a safe harbour investment. (Analysts’ price target is $26.78)

DON'T BUY

His view on gold stocks is that there are three kinds of stocks. The large caps have a difficult time growing; the small caps are too risky and then there are the mid-tiers. The latter are the most attractive and more so are any that are about to become a mid-tier. He prefers EQX-X. Management has an impressive track record.

DON'T BUY

Doesn't like it. It will move higher and people will buy it, but over five years Agnico has outperformed and he prefers the latter.

COMMENT

One of the largest gold miners in the world. They are able to do deals when the gold price is high and have trouble with the gold price is low.

HOLD

Gold is not expensive. Barrick increased its dividend and he likes their management. The Chinese Central bank has been steadily building gold inventory. They want to move their reserves up to the likes of the US, Germany, etc. No major reserves are being discovered, so eventually prices will rise. Gold prices today will start some exploration across the sector. Gold prices could find resistance around $1719 /oz. Seasonally, gold prices usually rise from after US Thanksgiving into the spring.

TOP PICK

He likes gold stocks and Barrick is one of the cheaper senior ones. (Analysts’ price target is $26.80)

COMMENT

Gold? He is not a gold specialist, but it is an area driven by lower interest rates. He thinks we are entering a new phase for gold, where gold is standing out as a safe holding again. He likes ABX-T and FNV-T in this space.

BUY

Gold: buy micro-caps? It has seriously broken through $1,400. He plays it by owning Barrick, one of the best large-caps with good managers, and ROXG for its Burkino Faso mine. The micro-caps are too small for him; he prefers large-caps because they're more predictable. Barrick is his go-to gold stock.

TOP PICK

In gold's last run up to $1300, Barrick ran up quite a bit higher than the price to book valuation. So the stock "owes us" some valuation, because it has some catch up to do. Yield is 0.90%. (Analysts’ price target is $22.71)

TOP PICK

Great place to be, especially if the Fed cuts rates. Gold stocks are still at multi-year lows. The charts look beautiful. A place where you can make some money. You have to watch it, put a stop on it. Yield is 0.98%. (Analysts’ price target is $20.92)

BUY

Likes all the golds, juniors and seniors. Juniors are the place to be.

COMMENT

Feels as though there's a buzz around gold. Momentum's coming back into the sector. Agnico is executing well, but it's expensive. His main holding is in Barrick. If you do get a move, it should go first and you should easily get a pop in it.

WAIT

You want to have a good gold price for it to do well. We saw a decline in 2017. We saw it falter at the beginning of this year. Seasonality will start July/August.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

They are cutting the costs out of an acquisition. They don’t need the duplication. There are synergies to be realized. The market looks interesting but he has not bought in the sector yet. He would look at this quality of company.
