Alamos Gold Inc (AGI.TO)

Still holds, but trimmed on the runup in March. Making a lot more $$ than last year, so earnings are growing. Still bullish on gold, and really bullish on this name. 

Gold is now trading pretty soberly on price to NAV. If you believe that the USD is eventually going to put in a high here and gold will start to assert itself (and that's the better view), then you can buy gold stocks here. Gold stocks can be fickle. Upcoming quarter may see margins pinched a bit due to higher costs, but that's already reflected in the price.

Lawyers tend to be an opportunistic group. This is a meritorious stock. Don't let the lawsuit thing bother you. Instead, look at the price to NAV -- very reasonable at 0.99. EPS growth is modeled at 26%. Valuation is ~10x PE for 2027. Last quarter was in line, reiterated guide for the year. Caveat:  if gold doesn't go higher, neither will these stocks. You have to believe in gold.

He doesn't generally play gold companies. On gold, you have to ask whether there's more upside. From the macro point of view:  debasement of currencies and geopolitical risk. Good company, but not for new $$ after that runup.

See his Top Picks.

One of Canada's top gold companies. A northern Ontario mine is better than expected, finding high grade gold. Unfortunately, they blasted another mine that created a problem, and shares fell. But he expects a recovery.

Good play. Reasonable at 15x PE for 2026. Exploration results really good. Lots of irons in the fire. Seeing resource and reserve growth.

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

Production forecasts are spectacular. Stepped back to just below his downside target of $54. He's waiting for it to grip here. You could buy 1/3 of a position today, then see what happens. (For stocks that have set back, he finds that you tend to do better buying in stages than buying all at once.) Yield is 0.41%.

In both his momentum and dividend growers mandates. Gold price was rocket fuel to earnings and cashflows. Still a fairly undemanding valuation based on prolific FCF.

AGI next reports Feb 18; in the Q3, EPS of 37c beat estimates of 36c; revenue of $462M missed estimates by 7%. EBITDA of $283.5M missed estimates by 7%. Of course, since then the price of gold has soared, and AGI has further earnings leverage. Last week it did release Q4 production numners, which did miss estimates. However, the miss was largely due to a seismic event and weather issues. We would not consider it too serious and the stock decline likely reflects the situation well. We think the stock is interesting and buyable at current levels and would consider a 'more conservative' play for the sector. The company remains debt-free with with more than $200M net cash.

It might have more upside in the short term. Is bullish gold, though the gold stocks have moved up a lot lately.

Likes last year's acquisition of Argonaut. Good path to boost production by 11% compounded rate of growth by end of the decade. None of the intermediates or seniors can match this. All in low political risk jurisdictions. Yield is 0.35%.

In friendly jurisdictions. Gold has been consolidating, and so has this stock. Some production from Manitoba mine has been lower grade, but that should pick up over the next 3 quarters. Gold producers have started to outperform the metal, which tells you we're in a bull market.

He prefers Kinross because it has a little more growth but both are excellent. As to the price of gold he thinks it holds with no big moves higher or lower.

Great performer. Moved up from small cap to something bigger and more diversified. Still likes it, though there was some disappointment after release of Q1 results. Good portfolio of mines, pretty good organic growth profile. Recent acquisition will be synergistic. Mines are in jurisdictions where not at risk of having rug ripped out from under.

Consolidating due to recent gains, and gold hasn't broken out to new highs (though on the doorstep). Good time to add. Feeling pretty good about upcoming Q2 numbers, as a lot of cost pressures were just issues of timing and should reverse. In the long run, aspiring to be an emerging AEM, either organically or via merger.
