Agnico-Eagle Mines
AEM-T
BUY
Jan 15, 2009
One of the stronger growth companies. One of the “go to” stocks in the larger gold producers. Would also include Kinross (K-T) and Goldcorp (G-T) in that category. (See Top Picks.)
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.
Likes gold, and this is a good way to play. Excellent management, prudent and disciplined use of capital. Good assets. 12 varied mines in low-political-risk jurisdictions. Low cost. Increases to dividend were paused, but should resume. Close to debt-free. Sleep at night.
Ranks #1 in the head-to-head battles. Doing the best out of all the Canadian stocks right now. Trending up, and gold has broken through $3000. Continues to outperform, hasn't seen a 3-box reversal at all. Yield is 1.54%.
His favourite gold senior. His guess is that in the next month or so, Trump's going to roll back a lot of stuff and the economy will be better. So areas like gold are going to sell off.
Likes that about 90% of mines are in Canada, with rest being in geopolitical-positive environments. Strong management team are good allocators of capital. Stock's done so well, hard to find entry for new clients; a function of the price of gold and flight to safety.
It's great that it's run up and is a significant portion of a portfolio. It's provided great diversification. Absolutely don't buy more, do not chase. If you own it, let it run.
