Barrick Gold (GOLD) concluded the recent trading session at $20.45, signifying a +1.39% move from its prior day's close.
Barrick Gold has underperformed peers but shows turnaround potential for 2025 with improving production in Pueblo Viejo and Nevada, and high gold prices boosting earnings. Despite geographic risks in Mali and Pakistan, Barrick's undervaluation compared to peers offers significant upside if issues are resolved and growth projects succeed. Strong growth in gold and copper production is expected, with high capex through 2027 but improving free cash flow and potential special dividends by 2026.
Barrick Gold remains committed to upholding the agreement mutually envisioned by both parties and is ready to resume production without delay.
Barrick Gold (GOLD) concluded the recent trading session at $20.32, signifying a -0.44% move from its prior day's close.
