Technical Analysis 
Aug 23, 2026, 12:00 amThis summary was created by AI, based on 54 opinions in the last 12 months.
Agnico-Eagle Mines (AEM) is widely recognized among analysts as a premier gold mining company, particularly noted for its solid cash flow and strong balance sheet, boasting around $3 billion in cash reserves. Experts emphasize its operations in politically stable jurisdictions and its consistent production growth, which enhances its attractiveness as an investment. Despite recent share price volatility due to fluctuations in gold prices, many analysts advocate for AEM as a long-term holding, recommending strategic stop-loss measures. The consensus support for AEM stems from its ability to generate significant free cash flow, disciplined debt management, and a history of meeting or exceeding production guidance. The current yield and potential for dividends are also regarded as favorable attributes, adding to its appeal among investors looking for a hedge against inflation.
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%.
(Analysts’ price target is $154.82)

Premium contentLikes 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.
Brian MaddenBought 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.
Kevin SimpsonGold 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.

Largest holding in portfolio. Share price has doubled the past year. Expecting gold prices to keep rising with geopolitical tensions. Large amounts of gold being held by central banks instead of US dollar.
Lyle SteinPremium contentHe prefers the senior gold names. Now is similar to 2010-2012 when gold producers paid more dividends. Is watching which of the smaller companies will pay dividends, which he welcomes. However, AEM has stopped increasing its dividend and has been taken off the dividend aristocrat list.

Premium contentWith recently reported EPS doubling year ago levels and free cash flow at record levels, we reiterate AEM at a TOP PICK. We like that cash reserves are growing, while the company buys back shares and retires debt. We recommend maintaining the stop at $101, looking to achieve $140 -- upside potential of 23%. Yield 1.4% Season's Greetings!
(Analysts’ price target is $140.06)Big run is well deserved. Margins have really increased with the price of gold. Fantastic development pipeline. Very well run.

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.
