If You Invested $1000 In This Stock 10 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

JPMorgan is doubling down on gold. This time, AngloGold Ashanti PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AU#NYSE">AU</a>) is leading the charge.
While the yellow metal is up a glittering 28% year-to-date, gold miners have gone full supernova. Fresnillo Plc's (OTCPK: FNLPF) 158% rally has been the talk of the town, but JPMorgan analyst Patrick Jones just made a surprising switch: AngloGold is now his Top Pick, replacing the Mexican miner that has dominated headlines.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">$4,000/Oz Forecast That's Fueling The Fire</h2>
JPMorgan's commodities team is calling for gold to hit $4,000 an ounce by mid-2026, citing strong, sticky demand from central banks and investors. Net buying is averaging 710 tons per quarter, with Chinese buyers and gold ETFs driving the increase. Add in geopolitical and policy uncertainty, and Jones contends that the gold bull is far from exhausted.
He sees low downside risk to gold demand, even in a soft macroeconomic environment, thanks to steady central bank accumulation—900 tons are expected in 2025 alone.
Good news for those invested in the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), the iShares Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IAU#NYSE">IAU</a>) and the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>).

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why AngloGold Now?</h2>
It's not just the macro. AngloGold has momentum, up 97% year-to-date and is poised to continue delivering. Jones forecasts second-quarter free cash flow of $575 million and sees potential for a 6% dividend yield if management accelerates payouts tied to higher gold prices.
Capex remains high, but that's due to growth initiatives, such as the Obuasi ramp-up and the upcoming scoping study at North Bullfrog. Jones expects these updates to be front and center when the company reports its half-year results on August 1.
With a low leverage profile, robust cash generation and optionality on even higher gold prices, Jones says AngloGold's re-rating still has legs. He estimates 60–70% upside to fair value if gold crosses $4,000 an ounce—a scenario JPMorgan sees as increasingly likely.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">And The Others?</h2>
Fresnillo still sparkles, up 158% YTD, but the peso headwind and already stretched valuation leave less room for surprise. Hochschild Mining Plc (OTCPK: HCHDF) is up +44% YTD) and Gold Fields Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GFI#NYSE">GFI</a>) is up 72%. They remain in the running, with the former facing near-term production hiccups.
But for now, the spotlight is firmly on AngloGold. In Jones's view, it's not just catching the gold wave &#8211; it's surfing ahead of it.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Gold Fields has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Gold Fields's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Gold Fields's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.12%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
