Bullish View on Precious Metals via Agnico Eagle

18 days ago

Jonathan Wellum

"Agniko Eagle has been really a major holding now for a number of years just simply because of the quality of the management, the quality of the assets, the political stability in terms of where theya0are located. And ita0a0it's quite interesting if you actually look at a company like Agnico Eagle and you look at the free cash flow yield, currently, even though the price of the stock has gone a0tripled over the last couple of years, it's still trading the free cash flow yield at a higher rate than it was three or four years ago. And if you factor in maybe a $4,500 gold, $50 silver scenario over the next year if you are bullish on the metals, you can really justify like a 9 to 10% free cash flow yield in some of these stocks. What it's telling you is that they're incredibly profitable; with the increase in gold going up a couple thousand dollars, thata0all flows to the bottom line for these well-run companies."

The speaker highlights Agnico Eagle as a key holding due to its strong management, asset quality, and robust free cash flow yield, which remains attractive even after significant price appreciation. He explains that if gold prices continue rising (potentially reaching $4,500) and silver holds near $50, the free cash flow yield available in these stocks can justify a 9-10% yield, reinforcing the companies' profitability. This commentary supports a bullish stance on precious metals mining companies, particularly as a hedge against fiat currency pressure.
