Uncovering Potential: Agnico Eagle Mines's Earnings Preview

WIIM

RGLD

SBSW

Shares of gold stocks are trading lower as gold prices drop after President Trump said he has no intention of firing Fed Chair Powell and indicated the final tariff rate with China would be "substantially" lower than the current 145%. These comments could be reducing some macro uncertainty, which recently drove gold to record highs.

A powerful rally in gold miners is turning heads on Wall Street, with the industry, as broadly tracked by the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>), up 50% year-to-date through April 22, outperforming nearly every other asset <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gold">class around the world. </a>
Fueled by gold prices soaring above $3,300 per ounce and robust investor demand, the industry enters first-quarter earnings season with high expectations and bullish momentum.
This week, Newmont Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>) and Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEM#NYSE">AEM</a>) will kick off first-quarter 2025 reporting, with analysts anticipating a wave of strong cash flow, operational updates and capital allocation plans.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's Driving The Gold Boom?</h3>
According to VanEck portfolio manager Imaru Casanova, a &#8220;perfect storm&#8221; is lifting gold: sticky inflation, rising global debt, escalating geopolitical tensions and growing recession fears.
"Gold thrives amid uncertainty," she said during a VanEck-hosted webinar Tuesday, highlighting the sector&#8217;s leverage to bullion. Gold equities, she added, have delivered "significantly amplified returns" compared to the metal itself.
Casanova noted that gold equities have sharply outperformed bullion, highlighting that the leverage embedded in mining companies gives investors an amplified return profile when gold rises.
With miners' all-in sustaining costs around $1,400 to $1,500 per ounce, today's gold prices north of $3,300 are delivering record margins.
"If we're at $3,000 gold and the costs are $1,500, that's a $1,500 margin per ounce," Casanova said. "That's where the cash flow is."
She also highlighted the rising interest in capital return strategies, such as share buybacks and dividends. "The companies are in great shape. That makes us even more bullish—not just because of the gold price, but because of company fundamentals."
Gold prices are up 42% over the past year and 18% over the past quarter, averaging $2,862 per ounce in the first quarter of 2025. In April, gold has surged another 8.9%, now trading above $3,400.
Monthly gold ETF demand hit a three-year high in April, signaling a potential resurgence of institutional and retail interest.
The VanEck team outlined several structural supports behind the gold rally, including strong demand from central banks, tariff risk and policy uncertainty.
With gold in "uncharted territory," Casanova said, "we could enter a much higher range" that supports even more robust margins and cash flows for miners. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bullish Q1 Expectations From Wall Street</h3>
Bank of America raised target multiples and price objectives across its North American precious metals coverage this week in response to gold's strength. Analyst Lawson Winder now sees:
<ul>
<li>Newmont at $70 (from $60)</li>
<li>Agnico Eagle Mines at $159 (from $142)</li>
<li>Barrick Gold Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>) at $23 (from $19.50)</li>
<li>Kinross Gold Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KGC#NYSE">KGC</a>) at $17.50 (from $15.00)</li>
</ul>
BofA expects free cash flow across its coverage to total $2.2 billion for the first quarter and $16.2 billion for the full year 2025, assuming gold averages $3,063 per ounce.
With all-in sustaining costs estimated around $1,500 per ounce, the sector is capturing historically wide margins.

Gold Miners Surge 50% Year To Date As Record Bullion Prices Drive Optimism Ahead Of Earnings

Shares of gold stocks are trading lower. The commodity could be experiencing a mild reversal after a rally to all-time highs amid macro uncertainty.

Gold surged to fresh all-time highs on Monday, with bullion jumping 2.5% to $3,410 per ounce by 11:20 a.m. ET, as mounting distrust in U.S. financial assets and inflation fears drive a flight to safety unlike anything seen since the global debt crises <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">of the early 2010s.</a>
Since early March, gold prices — tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) — have climbed an astonishing 19.4%, putting the metal on track for its strongest two-month rally since August 2011.
A perfect storm of macro instability, political friction and investor skepticism about the dollar and U.S. Treasuries is fueling the run.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What's Behind The Gold Boom?</h1>
The root of gold's dramatic resurgence lies in a potent mix of fundamental, structural and behavioral drivers.
The U.S. dollar and long-duration Treasuries — once go-to safe havens — have come under pressure in recent weeks amid President Donald Trump's tariff offensive and his escalating feud with Fed Chair Jerome Powell, raising fears over political interference and eroding confidence in U.S. institutions.
In this climate, gold's reputation as a neutral, time-tested store of value is attracting capital seeking stability.
As a result, traditional hedges have faltered. But gold, immune to sovereign missteps and backed by centuries of store-of-value status, has emerged as a refuge for capital looking for shelter from rising macro uncertainty.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Massive Inflows Into Gold ETFs Confirm Strong Investment Demand</h1>
Investor appetite for gold is clearly visible in the massive inflows into gold-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) since mid-January, when Trump made his official return to the White House:

</figure>
These blockbuster flows signal broad-based institutional and retail demand. According to Goldman Sachs analyst Lina Thomas, the rally is not being fueled by short-term speculators.
"Data suggests the move has occurred without a substantial return of speculative flows," Thomas said. 
"With estimated COMEX speculative positioning still moderate, we view the rally as structurally supported and less exposed to sharp near-term liquidation risk. Thus, we see current levels as a tactically attractive entry point… and believe this reinforces upside risk to our $3,700/toz year-end forecast."
Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, said the current momentum validates his call from over a year ago. 
"We&#8217;ve been bullish on gold since it broke out above $2,000 per ounce at the end of February 2024. Our $4,000 target by the end of this year looks increasingly realistic. If that happens, then $5,000 would be our target for the end of 2026."
"This situation may come as a crisis for many assets, but for gold, it's a perfect outcome. Inflation fears remain high as the U.S. stock market loses trillions of dollars, and investors are leaning toward physical gold in search of security rather than risky assets like stocks and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)," said Rick Kanda, managing director at The Gold Bullion Company, in an email.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Miners Regain Momentum</h1>
The rally is also lifting gold miners, many of which had lagged physical bullion for much of 2024. Now, they're catching up. "Gold has surged to new all-time highs above $3,000/ounce, driven by renewed flows into gold-backed ETFs and continued strong demand from global central banks," VanEck said Monday.
"At the same time, gold miners are beginning to regain leverage to gold prices, emerging as some of the best-performing stocks so far this year."
The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>) is up nearly 52% year-to-date, eyeing the strongest annual gain since the fund&#8217;s inception in 2007.
In response to the metal's powerful rally, Bank of America on Monday raised price targets across its North American gold and silver coverage. 
The move comes just ahead of first-quarter earnings season in the precious metals sector, which begins April 23 with Newmont Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>) and continues with Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEM#NYSE">AEM</a>) on April 24.

Agnico Eagle Mines Unusual Options Activity For April 11

Gold prices surged past $3,212 per ounce on Friday, reaching a new record high as mining stocks continued their impressive post-inauguration rally amid escalating U.S.-China trade tensions.
What Happened: Since President Donald Trump&#8216;s Jan. 20 inauguration, major gold mining stocks have climbed over 20%, with several companies posting year-to-date gains exceeding 30% as investors seek safe-haven assets.
On Thursday, the U.S. announced a 125% tariff on Chinese imports on top of an existing 20% duty, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44753780/us-stock-futures-fall-nikkei-crashes-over-5-as-markets-reel-from-trumps-tariff-shock">bringing the total to 145%</a>. This move overshadowed Trump&#8217;s 90-day pause on higher tariffs for most other countries.
