VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX)
GDX: The Most Attractive Multiple Of The Last 40 Years
The GDX ETF has strong performance compared to gold ETFs or even ETFs from other sectors of the economy. The fundamentals of revenue growth and cash flow are the pillars behind performance. Valuations are historically low, with upside potential of 25% to 50% based on P/E and P/NAV.
GDX: Solid Valuation, But Technical Warning Signs Emerge, Weak Seasonality On Tap
I reiterate my Hold rating on GDX after a powerful rally, as gold miners face mixed near-term technical and seasonal signals. GDX has outperformed the S&P 500 YTD, but momentum is cooling and August-September have historically been weak for gold miners. The ETF remains attractively valued, yet its top-heavy portfolio and bearish RSI divergence suggest caution is warranted for new buyers.

GDXY: YieldMax Strikes Out On Gold
YieldMax Gold Miners Option Income Strategy ETF offers high income but underperforms due to its capped upside, making it less appealing in a bullish gold market. GDXY trades options on GDX, leveraging gold miners' volatility for income, but this strategy results in lower total returns compared to GDX and GLD. The fund's near-50% distribution rate is attractive, but the erosion of the share price over time diminishes its overall appeal for long-term investors.

GDX: Expect The Outperformance To Continue
GDX, the largest precious metals mining ETF, has outperformed the market, up 22% YTD, despite recent market turbulence and substantial outflows. GDX has underperformed gold over 1, 3, and 5 years, suggesting more room for growth, especially with a low forward P/E ratio around 13. The higher tariff environment and economic contraction fears have led to market liquidation, but gold and gold miners are expected to continue outperforming.
