Matt Murphy has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Kinross Gold’s strong third-quarter performance, which featured operational results that were in line or slightly better than expected, as well as an earnings and free cash flow beat. The company ended the quarter with a solid net cash position and is on track to meet its guidance for the year. Additionally, Kinross has increased its capital returns by raising its share buyback program and boosting its dividend, demonstrating a commitment to returning value to shareholders.
Moreover, Kinross Gold’s production, sales, and costs were roughly in line with estimates, with some metrics even outperforming expectations. The company’s projects are advancing well, with further details on growth initiatives anticipated in the next quarter. These factors, combined with the company’s strategic financial management and operational efficiency, underpin Murphy’s confidence in Kinross Gold’s potential for continued success, leading to the Buy rating.
In another report released on October 23, Scotiabank also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $32.00 price target.
