It was really cheap at the time, and in the gold space. He'd dip back in on the setback -- don't have to rush, let gold settle a bit.

It is an intermediate producer of gold and copper with four mines. Had a very big stock price jump recently with an earnings surprise of 18% and earnings revision of 19%. Free cash flow is a catalyst and he considers it an obvious buy. Earnings growth is very good along with a P/E of 8.3 this year and 5.7 for 2026. It is a small cap and did a 3 for 1 consolidation in June. Buy 9 Hold 1 Sell 0
Robert McWhirterDoesn't own, but it's the kind of gold company that likely does well in next 2 years. He suspects that over the next 1-2 years, mid-cap names such as this will either do well or will be taken over. Scale matters in equity markets today; mere inclusion in indexes is good for the share price.
Chart's seeing a pause, because it ran up so fast. And that's OK. Markets pull back in 2 ways: either by going down, or by consolidating. There's a really good case for owning gold. This one could consolidate for another 1-2 months or so, and then break out. If he owned it, he'd hold.
Likes gold companies operating in stable countries. Australia, Canada, Philippines. Really, really strong balance sheet. Trading at book value. Attractive as a potential takeover by a senior producer due to its low valuation and great balance sheet. Yield is 0.7%.

A mid-cap gold company. They are having trouble with their Didipio mine. The Philippine government has put a kind of moratorium on production as they review the environmental impact. This makes it a tough place to invest. If they lose their license, it represents 30%-40%. The political risk would scare him away.
A producer of copper and gold, predominantly coming out of the Pacific rim. Have a portfolio of gold assets in New Zealand, but they don’t generate a whole lot of free cash flow. The majority of their free cash flow comes out of Didipio. The yield, from a free cash flow standpoint, looks quite strong at 6%-7%. However, there is a caveat that there is a tax holiday in the Philippines that rolls off in 3-4 years, and then the government takes half of that cash flow. The company probably needed to do something from an M&A standpoint to mitigate that drop, and they bought the Waihi asset from Newmont, a small asset in New Zealand. It has 3 years of mine life left. This is going to be a key catalyst to watch for. These factors keep him out of this story. This looks fully valued to him.
