What happened
Reached its target in 77 days.
The thesis — published July 7, 2025
Harmony Gold just reported solid results and kept its targets for next year. A US$1 billion copper mine purchase in June adds a new income stream tied to growing copper demand. Wall Street mood is very positive. The stock trades at only five times its yearly cash earnings, and many expect the price to rise from about $14.60 today to $17.50-18 within three months. Gold’s role as a safety asset gives extra support.
Primary drivers
- Keeping next year’s output and cost goals calms worries and firms forecasts
- Buying MAC Copper adds copper sales and taps rising electrification needs
- Price action shows room to climb as buying strength builds but is not overdone
- June news confirmed goals and boosted optimism, lifting sentiment near perfect
