Equinox Gold (EQX-T) is currently facing a tough environment as gold prices are unpredictable and showing some downside risk. Experts are seeing near-term challenges, particularly with potential selling pressure from ORLA shareholders following the company's merger, which will expand EQX's size and financial strength. While the market outlook for gold remains cautious, analysts believe that the merger will position EQX as a major player in the Canadian gold production landscape, enhancing its trading liquidity and attracting index buyers. Despite concerns about market volatility and execution challenges, there is optimism about long-term rewards, albeit with the need for investors to remain prepared for shocks during this transition period. Overall, the sentiment suggests that EQX's prospects depend heavily on future gold price movements and the effective integration of its assets.

Kinross, KGC

TOP PICK

It is the only publically traded gold producers that has the following: It is in the sweet spot in terms of size as a mid-tier, it has a cost structure that has room for improvement, it has multiple producing assets all in politically stable jurisdictions, it offers fully funded growth projects, it has high insider ownership at 8.5%, and it has proven leadership. It just announced acquisition of Premier Gold. It trades at a discount. (Analysts’ price target is $22.75)

TOP PICK

If you could buy only one gold stock, make it this one. This is the sweet spot because it is mid-tier. It is not too big to grow, nor risky because of being too small. You don’t want the highest cost producer because it will have mines it probably should not have, nor the lowest cost because they don’t have room for improvement in cost structure. You want to own a company with multiple assets and in jurisdictions that are politically stable. You want them to have growth. You want to see high insider ownership and proven leadership. This is EQX-T. (Analysts’ price target is $23.25)

BUY

Precious metals Central banks are expanding balance sheets which makes precious metals bullish. Seven of the 10 top performers on the TSX this year have been gold stocks. He doesn't own many gold stocks, given gold price uncertainty, but he likes Equinox Gold for its growth profile.

BUY

They are merging with Lee Gold. You can't get much better in a management team. They are building up a base. It should do well.

PARTIAL SELL

Gold Gold has had a nice run, but is now toppy. It tends to meet resistance at the current level. If it does rise further, it won't go far. Take profits or sell outright.

DON'T BUY

She has not owned any gold for the longest time. She has been looking for opportunities where they can go higher without the commodity going higher. She is not sure about Equinox and it has not hit any of her screens yet.

BUY

His view on gold stocks is that there are three kinds of stocks. The large caps have a difficult time growing; the small caps are too risky and then there are the mid-tiers. The latter are the most attractive and more so are any that are about to become a mid-tier. He prefers EQX-X. Management has an impressive track record.

COMMENT

A new mine is coming into production. Earnings are expected to double in 2020. There should be reasonable appreciation in the cards. They are now harvesting from their previous capital expenditure. (Analysts’ price target is $12.09)

BUY

If it's gold, you have to own it. Don't worry if it doesn't have any earnings now. Underwater because of production costs, so they cut and cut. Now the leverage on the growth is unbelievable. Early innings, not too late. (Analysts’ price target is $2.08)

DON'T BUY

Will believe in the golds when inflation comes back. Historically, a great place to go when inflation rears its ugly head. Except inflation is not doing that right now. He doesn't own any gold stocks.

BUY

The Abu Dhabi sovereign fund put in $150 million the other day that wipes out almost all its debt. Interested junior to be in.

WATCH

It is an interesting company with assets in California and Brazil. They are ramping up production and there could be a re-valuation. It is not well owned institutionally. There could be an uplift in the valuation if they ramp up the new mine in Brazil. He has a lot of history with the asset in Brazil so is just watching it. It is too early for him right now.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 09/17, Down 1%) Chairman Ross Beaty is supposed to retire now, but he's had an amazing track record with four companies. The stock is a little down, because they had grown so fast that they had to do two stock issuances, which diluted the stock.

STRONG BUY

Stock continues to outperform time and time again. The chairman, whom he knows and admires, is the biggest shareholder and a superb manager.
