Stock price when the opinion was issued
Gold is taking a big hit today, with spot gold down $36/oz. AEM Q4 EPS of $1.26 beat estimates of $1.16; revenue of $2.22B marginally missed estimates. EBITDA of $1.33B matched estimates. Margins were a record on good cost control. 847,000 ounces were produced in Q4 with all-in costs at $1,316. Mines performed well. Production guidance was steady, but this is likely the company being conservative. Net debt is now very low and the company is in excellent financial shape going forward. Shares slipped a bit but are up 127% in a year and we would be comfortable with the quarter and outlook.

Bought it yesterday heading into earnings. They disappointed a bit because of rising expenses, but you can definitely buy in dips. Is still up 20% this year. They will continue to pay off debt as they buy back shares like crazy. Pays a nice dividend.
