Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 31 days.
The thesis — published November 18, 2025
Strong Cote mine output and a plan to repurchase up to 10% of shares can lift value per share. Recent progress on the Northern Superior deal shows management is sharpening the business. The price trend looks healthy, with lots more people buying than usual, so buying small pullbacks makes sense. With gold holding up and clearer cash coming in, the next 0-3 months look favorable for a higher market view.
Primary drivers
- Cote mine is producing strongly, making near-term cash easier to see
- Buying back up to 10% of shares can boost earnings per share
- Healthy uptrend with strong buying interest supports ongoing gains
- Recent deal activity is aimed at concentrating on the best assets
