Stock price when the opinion was issued
Nice beat on recent earnings announcement. $600M in free cashflow. 3% higher production. Importantly, 3-6% lower costs than market expected. Very important that they maintained guidance for projects. Not cheap at 23x 2026 earnings.

Believes we're in very early stages of a gold bull market. Best operator. 5 of their major projects have exploration growth opportunities. Great dividend growth. Last year's acquisition of O3 Mining is a positive.

AEM is reiterated as a TOP PICK as its strong cash flows under higher commodity pricing is allowing the company to aggressively retire debt and buy back shares. It recently announced a growth in ownership of a Canadian based mining company involved in the country's only copper and zinc mine under development. It trades at 16x earnings and 2.4x book. We will continue to recommend a stop at $136, looking to achiever $186 -- upside potential of 24%. Yield 1.5%
(Analysts’ price target is $185.78)
