Barrick Mining (ABX-T) has garnered mixed reviews from experts, with differing opinions on its investment potential amid shifting market dynamics. While some maintain a positive outlook on gold due to ongoing central bank purchases and geopolitical uncertainties, others express concerns over Barrick's stewardship of shareholder capital and lagging production growth. The recent spinoff of North American assets has positioned the company within safer mining jurisdictions, yet valuation concerns remain as analysts debate its performance relative to peers. The stock has shown signs of recovery recently, attributed to rising gold prices, but experts warn that sustained performance may hinge on the company's ability to deliver consistent earnings amid volatile market conditions.
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.
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.
