I reiterate a buy rating on VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX), citing strong recent performance and compelling valuation. GDX trades at a low 10.4x P/E with an 11.8% long-term EPS growth rate, supporting an attractive PEG ratio under 1x. Technical breakout from a descending triangle targets $115, about 15% upside from last week's close, with a rising 200-day moving average.
With market concentration remaining near all-time highs, achieving true portfolio diversification means that today's investors need to look beyond the major indices. That entails funds that provide exposure to international value stocks, small caps, and emerging markets.
Gold trading near $4,270 should have been a coronation for VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSEARCA:GDX).
