GDX: Why Gold Miners Are A Buy After Falling More Than Gold
VanEck Gold Miners ETF is rated BUY, capitalizing on the disconnect between strong gold prices and underperforming mining stocks. GDX offers diversified exposure to 63 gold miners and royalty companies, mitigating company-specific risks while capturing sector upside if gold prices remain elevated. Recent GDX weakness is seen as a reset, not a cycle end; miners could rerate as higher margins and cash flows materialize over the next 6–12 months.
