Quick Look at the Best Diamond Stocks:

Overview: Diamond Stocks

The United States is 1 of the largest global consumers of diamonds. It spent $20.2 billion on diamonds in 2019 or 19.2% of the global market share. About 46% of rough diamonds are for industrial purposes, while 19% are used as gem-quality polished mineral stones. 

At the close of 2019, diamond stock prices were at the bottom with some diamond stocks falling into stocks under $5

In 2020, things looked worse for the diamond industry. The pandemic affected the Chinese diamond market, which makes up 15% of global demand. Aftershocks of the pandemic could continue to negatively affect the market demand for diamonds.  

Diamond stocks are expected to have a bullish outlook going forward. Get in at the ground level with our recommended online brokers and top picks for diamond stock.

Features to Look for in Diamond Stock

Diamond stock has been neglected due to lack of price transparency. But it is again considered a viable investment with risk. 

Much time passes between the exploration stage and the commercial production phase. During this lag time diamond stock shares can fluctuate. But companies that find mineable diamonds in quantities can make huge profits. 

It's important to learn to cut your risk when investing in diamond stocks. Find these stocks with high-quality reserves, well-established mines and potential for profit. 

Consider these factors as you look for the best stocks:

  1. Earnings per share (EPS): EPS is calculated by dividing a company's profit by the outstanding shares of the company's common stock. The EPS shows the profitability of a company. A higher EPS means higher profitability. Companies report EPS after adjusting it for extraordinary terms.
  2. Time series length shows how many years a company has been listed in the exchange. More years show more credibility.
  3. Liquidity: This is the ability to buy or sell an asset without affecting its stock price. Look at the average trade volume of the equity. The average trade volume of the equity should be at least 100,000.

Don’t look at the market price of diamonds when looking at the best diamond stocks. There are stocks that are premarket movers. Benzinga can also recommend some of the best stocks under $10 and stocks under $20

Plug into Diamond Stocks

It's obvious Rio Tinto stands out as the best diamond stock. But the trend of all these stocks affected by the global currencies are sensitive to the U.S. dollar. A fall in the value of the dollar creates a better financial environment for diamond mining businesses. Should there be an uptrend in the value of the U.S. dollar, these stocks will likely be affected.
