Barrick Gold, Triumph Gold, Yamana Gold - All good things come in threes - and gold!

Since the summer of 2020, the majority of gold stocks have been correcting. The precious metal price reached a peak value of USD 2,074 at that time but then switched into reverse gear - apart from a brief upward movement at the beginning of the year - and is currently quoted around the USD 1,800 mark. For anti-cyclical and long-term investors, but also for short-term traders, the current situation offers exciting opportunities. The broad-based bull market on the stock markets and in the area of cryptocurrencies is brimming with optimism. Despite a - and also shared by us - positive assessment of the capital market environment, corrections will continue to occur in the future. The trigger, duration and massiveness are written in the stars. However, one rule of thumb has almost always proven itself: in phases of fear and uncertainty, gold gains value as a crisis currency. With good quality gold stocks, investors are then on the winning side. Where is it worth investing now?

    BARRICK GOLD CORPORATION - Q4 figures to be published on February 18

    In mid-January, Barrick Gold had already published production data for the final quarter and achieved the advised target range in gold and copper production. But the output of 4.8 million ounces of gold and 457 million pounds of copper still says nothing about profitability. The Company will complete the picture tomorrow with the complete data for Q4 and the past fiscal year.

    The Company's announcements in recent weeks are positive, as the group reported several projects and holdings that posted better-than-expected numbers for the past year, as well as a continuation of positive trends.

    Barrick Gold is the world's second-largest gold producer and owns many of the world's most productive gold properties. Thus, investors benefit from rising quotations of the precious metal. Additionally beneficial is the group's involvement in several copper projects. The industrial metal has performed very well in recent months. Market experts expect the price increase to continue in the wake of rising demand from the electromobility sector. Barrick shares have fallen by around a third since the summer of 2020. In our opinion, this is a good level for (new) engagements.

    TRIUMPH GOLD CORP - Acquisition of acreage near the Freegold Mountain project

    Canadian exploration Company Triumph Gold is focused on developing the Freegold Mountain gold-copper project in the Yukon Territory, a very mining-friendly jurisdiction in northwestern Canada.

    Earlier this month, the Company announced it was acquiring 258 claims adjacent to the zones of the 200 sq km Freegold Mountain project in an attractive transaction. Not only does this increase Triumph's footprint in the region, but it also brings a new high-profile major shareholder to the table, namely, Teck Resources. The multi-billion-dollar corporation is Canada's largest diversified resource Company. Teck invests, in particular, in the copper, steel, coal and zinc sectors. Teck will receive 1.25 million Triumph shares as part of the transaction. With an eye on potential production in the future, the giant has secured a 1.5% net smelter return on copper production from the divested Big Creek project. This deal is a win-win for both buyer and seller, in our opinion.

    To date, the market has not adequately priced in Triumph Gold's potential. The stock market value of CAD 25 million in no way reflects the project's opportunities, with a now even larger area.

    YAMANA GOLD INC - Analysts see more than 50% price potential

    Yamana is a mid-tier producer of gold, copper and silver. Last week, the Canadians published excellent Q4 figures. However, these were largely ignored by the market in the wake of the falling gold price. Yet an increase in profits from CAD 14.6 million to CAD 103 million is no mean feat. Also, Yamana increased its quarterly dividend by 50%.

    In the past, Yamana has not only grown organically but also through a series of transactions. Currently, the Company's market capitalization is CAD 5.7 billion. Since the high last summer, the share price has lost about a third and is now at about CAD 6.

    The majority of analysts following the Company see the stock as undervalued and recommend the shares as a buy with an average price target of CAD 9.15. This number corresponds to a price change of more than CAD 6 billion, which corresponds to a price opportunity of over 50%.

    The signs are pointing to a new precious metals era. Driven by geopolitical upheaval, persistent inflation, and unprecedented demand from central banks, gold and silver are reaching new record highs. While gold shines as a safe haven, silver is also benefiting from the industrial boom, for example, in solar technology. This unique constellation opens up extraordinary opportunities for investors. Against this backdrop, it is worth taking a closer look at three companies. We analyze industry leader Barrick Mining, the exploration company Silver North, and the gold and silver producer First Majestic Silver.

Driven by geopolitical tensions, simmering inflation fears, and record-high debt levels in many countries, the precious metal continues to take center stage. Central banks are buying more gold than they have in decades, while investors are rushing into physical gold, ETFs, and mining stocks. Experts expect another bull run, even beyond the magic mark of USD 4,000 per ounce.

    Uncertainty in Germany is greater than ever: Increasingly, companies in the automotive industry are cutting jobs. According to industry experts at EY, around 51,100 jobs were lost in the automotive industry within a year, corresponding to around 7% of all jobs. Companies in other sectors are also making cuts. Most recently, Lufthansa also laid off staff. This bad news is accompanied by a worrying mood of doom and gloom among the German population – especially in the traditionally wealthy southwest of the country. In this article, we explain how the industrial giants Porsche and Mercedes-Benz are faring and why more and more investors are turning their attention to gold stocks as a result.
