Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 20 days.
The thesis — published September 2, 2025
Harmony is a practical gold play to balance a portfolio. Earnings per share rose 30% compared to last year, and MAC Copper investors approved the buyout, adding future resources. Costs are running higher, which is a key risk. Buying interest is firm even though the recent average price and some chart signals look weak, setting up a snap-back. If gold holds and the deal progresses, a 0-3 month bounce is likely.
Primary drivers
- Gold prices are firm and earnings per share rose 30% compared to last year
- MAC Copper deal adds more future copper and gold resources to the company
- Price looks beaten down, setting up a possible short-term rebound
- Rising mining costs threaten margins and need close, ongoing monitoring
