Markets extend gains as earnings season hitsMarkets fade, yields and gold shineTSX closes March on a highThis summary was created by AI, based on 15 opinions in the last 12 months.
The experts have mixed opinions about Barrick Gold, with some praising its strong gold assets and potential for creating value, while others criticize its balance sheet and geopolitical risks. There is also a consensus that gold is a difficult metal to value and that investing in gold stocks is speculative. Some experts prefer other low-cost leaders in the mineral space to Barrick Gold. Overall, the company's performance and potential seem to be a topic of debate among the experts.
Gold a difficult metal to value. Recent strength in gold price good for overall business. Weakness in share price due to inflation concerns from investors (costs a lot to produce gold). ABX is one of the best companies in sector, but is a commodity style business. Overall is a hold for long term investors.
He doesn't own gold stocks. Bad balance sheet, restructuring. Gold exploration is expensive, easier to just take over another company. Environmentally unfriendly, in bad parts of the world.
Underperforming TSX since 2020. For him, owning the bullion makes a bit more sense, though he doesn't own that either.
He hasn't owned mining companies in a very long time. Shocking to see what's happened to FM with that mine, as it's a great asset. Shows how risky it is to invest in foreign countries outside NA.
ABX knows how to allocate capital very well. If he were interested in a mining company, this would be the one, as the CEO certainly knows what to do. Eventually, the FM mine has to be up and running. If ABX can run it properly, there's a lot of value that can be created.
Small companies can't exist anymore in this new age of mining, oil/gas. We're going to see a lot of M&A.
Has underperformed the gold price, but so have gold stocks in general. ABX has an unusual good collection of high-quality gold assets. He's done well investing in companies that the CEO has run. Continues to be long this.
Earnings should pick up given the rise in gold prices in recent weeks. This should continue. Guidance says that production side won't be strong in 2024, though copper will see more opportunities than gold. Overall, he sees a little more upside in 2024.
The chart shows resistance broken, and a reverse head-and-shoulders pattern. He isn't a gold bug; it's hard to predict gold prices, though it's doing well now. The chart could return to $25, and if it breaks that it could rise further. Doesn't know.
A leader. He doesn't play too much in the gold space. It's more speculative than what he typically buys. Not on his radar.
He'd prefer RIO, a low-cost leader in the iron ore space, with copper assets and a nice distribution. You could also look at MDI to play the miners, as it gives exposure to the whole sector.
Does not invest in gold. Hard to justify investment. Share price has not appreciated in 30 years. Not good for shareholders. Capital allocation not good. Only beneficiary is management who collect salary.
Expects this to fall 3.5%. Gold is essential to any portfolio. He owns physical gold, not the companies, because the costs of production are rising faster than the price of gold. Expects some gold companies to go bust.
Very large business makes it tough to earn high rate of return.
Gold prices difficult to predict.
Prefers Franco-Nevada & royalties.
Valuation not very good.
Increase on real returns on bonds is a negative on gold prices.
Gold not as attractive with higher interest rates.
Would wait 6-12 months before buying (when interest rates are cut).
Likes gold sector, but not ABX.
Gold a strong commodity.
Geopolitical risk & company debt major drawbacks of company.
Prefers other names in sector.
Very supportive of Pakistan gold project.
Technical prospects very good.
Management very good at emerging markets & politics.
Political risk a substitute for technical risk (deposits very large).
Political risk very high.

One of the better companies in the gold area. Started growing its copper business. Good balance sheet, nice dividend. Companies themselves have to contend with rising expenses. Under pressure to increase production, it's easier to make an acquisition. Geopolitical risk.
If you like gold, so easy to buy as an ETF and that would be better.
