What happened
Reached its target in 72 days.
The thesis — published September 30, 2025
IAMGOLD has been one of the stronger gold miners lately, and the business is getting healthier. Shares have run up a lot, so waiting for small pullbacks is safer than buying after big jumps. In late September the stock was up 72 percent in three months, helped by a 24 percent return on equity and steady buying. If gold stays firm and profits improve, the rise can likely continue over the next few months.
Primary drivers
- Stronger gold prices plus better profits can lift the share price
- More buyers than usual and a rising recent average price show strong trend
- Positive mood and heavier trading interest keep demand elevated
- When gold rises, profits can climb faster due to cost structure
