BUY ON WEAKNESS

Has come off with the price of gold. This name, along with AGI, is the best-run gold company in Canada, if not in the world. Both continually replace mines with fresh, high-quality reserves. Pullback is a chance to buy.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 03/26, Down 15.7%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with AEM has triggered its stop at $270.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  When combined with previous guidance, this will result in a net investment gain of 20%.  

PARTIAL SELL

Has doubled over the last 12 months, so consider taking some off. Very well run. In good jurisdictions. Despite the run, his firm is a big fan of gold -- more to go because of USD weakness.

With profits, consider going into bullion itself (such as CGL).

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly

On the back of an abrupt pullback in gold prices, we again reiterate AEM as a TOP PICK.  Cash reserves are growing while debt is aggressively retired.  We recommend maintaining the stop at $270, looking to achieve $379 — upside potential of 18%. Yield 0.7%

(Analysts’ price target is $332.00)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We again reiterate AEM as a TOP PICK.  Recently released data shows the company successfully expanded gold reserves in 2025, while growing cash reserves, paying down debt and buying back shares.  Its getting a bit more expensive now, trading at 32x earnings and 5x book, but we see further upside in gold bullion prices still.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $224) to $246, looking to achieve $334 -- upside potential of 15%.  Yield 0.7%

(Analysts’ price target is $330.19)
PARTIAL BUY

Is the second-largest gold miner in the world.  It reports on Thursday. Buy some now, then add more on a pullback. Always own some gold.

BUY

Gold made another high today. Most gold is in places not good for business, but AEM operates in a safe, developed country, Canada. Gold still has room to run.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 31/25, Up 119%)

Gold continues to remain in play, and gold stocks as a group continue to broadly lead. At the margin, we're seeing a race for resources. Globally, we're seeing a bit of anarchy and a movement away from law and order -- this is typically when gold does pretty well. 

He read online that gold is like the VIX for US-international relationships. As those relationships continue to deteriorate, people pile into gold. 

BUY

Likes it a lot. The top producer in Canada. Has political stability. They produce at $900/oz, for below the price of gold.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 28/25, Up 89.9%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with AEM has achieved its target at $265.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering half the position at this time and maintaining the stop at $224.

BUY

Still a buy today for those who don't own it. Finest goldmine operating company in the world. Track record as capital allocators over the last 15 years speaks for itself. Production growth is absolutely baked in the cake for the next 5 years, so there's no risk on that side. Importantly, growth will be from existing assets they already control. Top-quality holding.

Disclosure: A featured presenter at his conference, so he has lots of conflicts of interest ;)

BUY

Has owned this for year. Was up 105% last year. When oil is cheap and labour not expensive, AEM can improve margins. Free cash flow is at all-time highs. Pays a dividend over 1%, but have been increasing it a 25% annually for the past 3 years. The gold play is not over.

HOLD

Likes it. Many of its mines are here in Canada. Cautiously optimistic that current political environment is better for developing the resource industry. With pressure on currencies, sees pricing for all commodities in USD continue fairly strong.

A bit disappointed on its relative performance within the sector, but "90% of success is just showing up", and his portfolios have benefited by just being in the gold sector.

BUY

Is up 130% this year. Is a momentum play off of gold. When oil is cheap and labour not overly expensive, their profits margins and free cash flow rise ($3.5 billion now vs. $500 million three years ago). The gold trade will continue into early 2026.
