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.
Rick Rule
He doesn't own any gold stocks. If you want to enter, focus on large-cap, senior gold stocks. They offer more conservative growth, there's a lot behind them (more than just 1 mine or project), and they're in friendlier jurisdictions. AEM is a great producer with lower costs, this would be his #1 choice.
Premium contentBest miner in the bunch. Will generate a lot of cash. Middle-tier companies are in the sweet spot.
David Burrows99% of revenues come from gold. Credible management, hits targets. Beat street forecasts in last 18 of 20 quarters. Good dividend growth history; paying one for last 40 years, 17% compound growth rate over last decade. Likes gold. Mines are located where there's little political risk. Yield is 2%.

Premium contentAEM has an established reputation for its management and assets. It's a pure gold play, pays a steady 2.08% dividend yield. Stockchasers Trevor and particularly Michael like it for its dividend, growth prospects and overall safety. Cash levels are healthy enough to buyback shares, always a good sign.
The only gold stock he has in the portfolio. Safe jurisdiction, safe netbacks, committed to returning capital. All that's hard to find in commodity land, where animal spirits seem to run high.
Danesh RohintonWould recommend buying. Very high quality company with strong management team and assets.

A bit extended. Broke out yesterday to new highs, so he wouldn't be surprised to see some near-term consolidation and weakness over the next couple of days. Chart's working. Yield is 1.6%.
