Iamgold Corp (IMG-T) has been receiving a mixed yet cautiously optimistic response from industry experts. While the consensus indicates that it's not one of the lowest-cost producers in its sector, it is viewed as the most-improved gold story in Canada. Analysts foresee a significant inflection point occurring in 2026, when the company anticipates robust free cash flow (FCF) generation, largely due to the upcoming full operation of its Cote gold mine. This mine is projected to greatly enhance production and possibly position Iamgold as one of the top mining companies in Canada. However, there is caution regarding future prospects post-2028, especially with its West Africa mine conclusion. Notably, while the price of gold has seen an increase, which has positively impacted the company, it currently does not offer a dividend.
Consistent theme across his Top Picks will be companies that are going to rerate, due to new projects or a shift in business.
This one has benefited from strong gold prices, but real upside will come from the Cote gold mine around Sudbury. It will start to operate at full speed by end of 2025, meaning material growth in production. Budget doubled, but all sins are forgiven because so has the price of gold since the mine opened. They'll be able to de-leverage, resulting in significant FCF in 2026 and 2027 for either buybacks or distributions.
Key will be what happens after 2028, because their West Africa mine ends. No dividend.
The question was on Iamgold and Teck Resources. IMG has declared some good news from its Quebec mine and Teck has more copper production with gold as an add-on. However both operate in some places that are less politically agreeable. He likes the gold sector but prefers bigger and more diversified companies in more stable countries including the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Chile. Following along this theme he owns both Kinross and Agnico Eagle.
Whole sector's been a pretty good place to be. If you're looking for real strength as far as opportunity goes, move downstream from the big names to mid-tier names like IMG. Those are the ones that are behaving quite robustly.
Often it works to buy a basket, and then drill down and add one name for some extra alpha.
