4 Gold Stocks Seen Falling as Much as 15%
Gold stocks have fallen nearly 19% from their highs in 2018 as measured by the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF ( GDX), which holds 49 stocks. The individual mining stocks have fallen even more than the ETF in some cases and, based on technical analysis, are facing even steeper declines. Gold miners’ revenue is tied to the price of gold, and should prices fall, revenue drops, causing earnings to decline.
Market Realist•yesterdayWhat Could Help Goldcorp’s Valuation Multiple Going Forward?
In the senior gold miner space, Newmont Mining (NEM) has the highest forward EV-to-EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization) multiple of 8.1x. Goldcorp (GG) follows it with a multiple of 6.8x. While the premiums of all the gold miners have waned relative to their historical averages due to weaker precious metal prices, GG’s production growth has remained muted for the last two years, and its costs have trended higher.
Market Realist•yesterdayHow Does Goldcorp’s Financial Leverage Look?
At the end of Q2 2018, Goldcorp’s net debt and adjusted net debt totaled $2.4 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively. Thus, the net debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization) for the company was closer to 1.7x during the second quarter. Now it’s focusing on the deleveraging and strengthening its balance sheet further to prepare the company for the next phase of the capital investment cycle, which is expected to start after 2020 with the buildup of the next generation of mines.
Market Realist•yesterdayHow Will Goldcorp Push Costs below $700?
Goldcorp (GG) achieved AISC (all-in sustaining costs) of $850.00 per ounce in Q2 2018, which was 6.3% higher YoY (year-over-year) and 5.0% higher sequentially. Its AISC was also higher than its fiscal 2018 guidance of $800.00 per ounce, plus or minus 5.0%.
