Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 58% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published February 23, 2026
Analysts see profits improving and the company guiding to more production in 2025, plus shareholder actions like a March dividend. That mix makes the near-term outlook positive, but gold miners can move fast with metal prices and investor mood. Enter gradually and avoid buying after quick spikes.
Primary drivers
- Stronger profit outlook and higher 2025 production
- Dividend payment and talk of buybacks support buyers
- Gold price sensitivity can lift miners when investors seek hedges
- Positive trend and active buying help if metal prices cooperate
