Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Came within reach: 92% of the predicted growth at its peak, just short of the target.
The thesis — published February 9, 2026
New Gold reported record production at Rainy River and generated $205 million in free cash flow, which is attracting upgraded analyst forecasts. A takeover by Coeur Mining is in late regulatory review and could set a timetable for a price move. The stock recently pulled back, so a short-term rebound within 0-3 months is possible if the price holds its current floor. Main risks are the exact timing of the deal and wild swings in metal prices.
Primary drivers
- Record Rainy River output and strong cash flow
- Takeover by Coeur advancing through approvals
- Recent pullback offers a clear dip-buy opportunity
- Higher metal prices could boost gains further
