Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 75 days.
The thesis — published July 6, 2025
The price of gold fell after cease-fire news, bringing Harmony back near 14 dollars, an area where it has held up well before. Trading now shows more buyers than sellers and market mood is very upbeat while the company’s core numbers stay solid. Managers still expect to hit next year’s production goals and a new 1.03 billion-dollar copper deal could add income. Strong mid-year gold demand could lift the stock to 15.80-16.20 within three months.
Primary drivers
- A well-tested 14 dollar floor plus extra buying activity hint shares may climb soon.
- Very optimistic market mood and falling costs boost chances of higher profits.
- Buying the copper project would add a new product and could make the firm valued higher.
- Gold normally does well July-Sept; higher metal price would flow straight to earnings.
