Experts have mixed views on Barrick Mining (ABX-T), reflecting a combination of optimism about gold's long-term prospects and concerns about Barrick's operational performance and stewardship of shareholder capital. While some analysts highlight gold's role as a diversifier and portfolio insurance amid rising global uncertainties, others criticize Barrick for lagging in production growth and facing operational challenges in regions like Mali. The company's recent strategies, including spinoffs and a focus on copper, are considered both an opportunity and a risk by different experts. Overall, sentiment towards Barrick is cautious but acknowledges the potential for future gains, depending on broader gold market conditions and production efficiency.

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.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 04/18, Up 3%) He likes the gold stocks because you should always hold 10-20% in gold. Bullion is dirt cheap. He worries about the quality of balance sheets around the world and sees it as a safe haven.
