Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 21 days.
The thesis — published August 29, 2025
Harmony fell after its FY25 update because it expects costs to rise about 9-16% and there were safety headlines. At the same time, it reported record adjusted free cash flow and net cash up 285%, showing stronger finances. Trading was unusually heavy, hinting at more buyers than usual. If gold prices stay steady, the stock could rebound in the next 0-3 months as sentiment and a stronger balance sheet help.
Primary drivers
- Record cash flow and a 285% cash jump strengthen the financial cushion for rough patches
- Unusually heavy trading points to stronger buying interest than normal
- The cost shock knocked shares down, creating a value entry for brave buyers
- Gold often helps late in the year; this stock tends to move with gold
