Kinross Gold (NYSE:KGC) Stock

Kinross Gold

Kinross Gold is a Canada-based gold producer, producing roughly 2.1 million gold equivalent ounces in 2024. The company had about a decade of gold reserves at the end of 2024. It operates mines in the Americas and West Africa after selling its low-cost Russian operations in 2022 in response to the invasion of Ukraine. The company has historically used acquisitions to fuel expansion into new regions and production growth. In 2022, Kinross purchased the Great Bear project in Canada. If developed as we think likely, it could produce an average of more than 500,000 ounces of gold per year for at least a decade, with its unit cash costs likely in the first quartile of the industry cost curve.

Shares of metal and mining companies are trading lower amid overall market weakness on US consumer and economic concerns.

With President Donald Trump's trade war rhetoric reaching new heights, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gold">gold has emerged</a> as the go-to asset for savvy investors. 
Its 7% surge since his inauguration and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/02/43728557/time-to-lock-in-gold-gains">recent record highs</a> make it the ultimate "Trump trade" of 2025. But for U.S. investors, this golden rally presents a unique opportunity to profit, not just from the metal itself but from a selection of stocks and ETFs poised to benefit.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gold's Bullish Surge: Why It's Happening</h2>
Gold's rally isn't just fueled by political uncertainty. Trump's aggressive tariff policies are creating inflationary pressures, and as global growth slows, gold acts as a safe-haven. 
Central banks and traders are shifting their focus to the yellow metal, further driving up its value. 
Analysts are now targeting $3,000 per ounce, with UBS and Citigroup revising their forecasts upward, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/fb53df86-c6f0-4550-ab84-222b3a6282f4">reported</a> Financial Times.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top Gold ETFs To Consider</h2>
For those looking to capitalize on gold's rally without holding the physical asset, ETFs offer a convenient route:
<ul>
<li>SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>): The largest gold ETF in the world, GLD tracks the price of gold bullion and is a reliable option for investors looking to ride the surge.</li>
<li>iShares Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IAU#NYSE">IAU</a>): Another solid choice, IAU provides a lower-cost way to gain exposure to gold's movements.</li>
<li>VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>): GDX targets gold mining companies, which are expected to see growth as gold prices rise.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gold Stocks Set To Benefit From Trump Trade</h2>
For those willing to venture into individual stocks, gold mining companies offer an even more leveraged play on the precious metal's climb:
<ul>
<li>Barrick Gold (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>): The world's second-largest gold miner, Barrick is benefiting from the surge in gold prices, with strong earnings expected to follow.</li>
<li>Newmont Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>): As the largest gold producer in the U.S., Newmont stands to profit from the rising price of gold and growing demand for safe-haven assets.</li>
<li>Kinross Gold (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KGC#NYSE">KGC</a>): Another player to watch, Kinross has seen its stock price benefit from higher gold prices, making it a solid addition to the gold-investment portfolio.</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Takeaway For U.S. Investors</h2>

With gold prices expected to continue rising, these assets offer an opportunity to capitalize on what looks to be a long-term trend.

Gold Soars as 'Trump Trade' of 2025: What Investors Should Know

Shares of precious metals stocks are trading lower as gold and silver fall, possibly due to a delay in tariffs. Also, Trump-Russia talks may reduce safe-haven asset demand.

Kinross Gold shares are trading lower after the company reported Q4 financial results and missed its adjusted EPS and revenue estimate.

Kinross Gold (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KGC#NYSE">KGC</a>) had a strong 2024, delivering record-free cash flow, improved margins, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43246243/kinross-gold-gains-analyst-confidence-barrick-gold-downgraded-amid-mine-uncertainty-details" rel="noreferrer noopener">stable production</a> across its global operations. An outstanding $1.3 billion in free cash flow more than doubled from the previous year, while the company also reduced its debt.
"2024 marked another excellent year for Kinross, and we have, once again, met our production and cost guidance. We delivered record free cash flow, repaid $800 million of debt, and grew our margins by 37%, significantly outpacing the rise in gold price," CEO Paul Rollinson <a target="_blank" href="https://www.kinross.com/news-and-investors/news-releases/press-release-details/2025/Kinross-reports-2024-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-results/" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> in the announcement.
Kinross produced 2.13 million gold-equivalent ounces (GEO) in 2024, similar to 2.15 million produced in 2023. Final quarter production of 501,209 GEOs slowed down compared to Q4 2023's 543,513 GEOs owing to planned lower grades and maintenance, but <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43590446/gold-prices-near-3000-outpacing-us-equities-as-it-hits-a-fresh-record-high-amid-donald-trumps-trade-war-led-market-uncertainty" rel="noreferrer noopener">higher gold prices</a> helped offset the output.
The company's full-year revenue surged to $5.15 billion, a 21% increase from $4.24 billion in 2023, primarily driven by an average realized gold price of $2,393 per ounce, compared to $1,945 per ounce the prior year. In Q4, the average realized gold price reached $2,663 per ounce, significantly above the $1,974 recorded in the same period in 2023.
Naturally, this higher gold price boosted margins. Full-year margins per GEO sold increased to $1,373 from $1,003 in 2023, while fourth-quarter margins went as high as $1,565 per GEO. Thus, net earnings soared to $948.8 million, or $0.77 per share – a substantial increase from 2023's $416.3 million or $0.34 per share.
The firm reaffirmed its commitment to shareholder value, declaring a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share payable on March 20, 2025. Additionally, the company intends to reinstate its share buyback program later in the year, pending the renewal of its normal course issuer bid with the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Regarding individual operations, the Tasiast mine in Mauritania delivered a record 622,394 GEOs, benefiting from increased throughput following the completion of the Tasiast 24k project.
Paracatu maintained strong output, with over 500,000 ounces produced for the seventh consecutive year. At the same time, Fort Knox saw a significant increase in annual production following the first gold from the Manh Choh project.
La Coipa's production declined due to lower silver grades, but throughput improvements helped offset some of the impact. Bald Mountain's resource conversion added nearly one million ounces to reserves, prompting the company to advance mining at the Redbird deposit.
Kinross continues advancing the Great Bear project in Canada, handling permitting and engineering work at Lobo-Marte in Chile, and expanding drilling at Round Mountain Phase X.
Management reaffirmed stable production guidance of around two million GEOs annually for 2025, 2026, and 2027, focusing on cost control, capital discipline, and sustaining financial strength.
Price Action: KGC stock was trading lower by 3.95% to $11.67 premarket at the last check on Thursday.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Kinross Gold 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

PAAS

SSRM

Shares of precious metals stocks are trading higher as gold and silver prices rise amid US tariffs on steel and aluminum.

Shares of precious metals stocks are trading higher as gold and silver rise on US-China trade war concerns and a drop in the US dollar index.

Shares of precious metal-related companies are trading higher. Reserve assets may be seeing renewed strength after the Fed kept rates unchanged yesterday and noted that inflation remains somewhat elevated.

Shares of gold stocks are trading higher amid a rise in the price of gold.

Ahead of their earnings release, BofA Securities analyst Lawson Winder upgraded Kinross Gold Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KGC#NYSE">KGC</a>) and downgraded Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>).
Talking about market, the analyst says that Gold opened at $2,706/oz last week, rising to $2,746/oz on January 21, 2025, as the U.S. Dollar weakened.
It closed the week at $2,771/oz, up 2.5%, on President Trump&#8217;s remarks on a less aggressive tariff approach to China.
KGC: The analyst double-upgraded Kinross from Underperform to Buy and raised the price <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/kgc/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">forecast from $9.25 to $12.75</a>.
The analyst notes several concerns surrounding Kinross, such as shorter mine life, maintaining 2 million gold equivalent ounces (GEOs) of annual production, and unit costs, are being addressed.
Consequently, the analyst raised the 2026 GEO production forecast from 1.8 million to 2 million GEO and increased earnings per share (EPS) estimates from $0.64 to $0.78 for 2026.
Despite market concerns about potential corporate acquisitions, Kinross remains disciplined in this regard, adds the analyst.
Additionally, Winder sees potential for Kinross to boost capital returns in 2025 through a share buyback. Overall, the analyst says that the company is well-positioned for fourth-quarter results with potential catalysts in 2025.
GOLD: The analyst downgraded the stock from Buy to Neutral and cut the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/gold/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast from $21 to $18</a>.
The analyst writes that as approaching fourth-quarter results, risks are rising, particularly regarding the shutdown of the Loulo-Gounkoto mine in Mali, and the struggling ramp-up of the Pueblo Viejo mine in the Dominican Republic.
In their 2025 model, Winder removed any production from the Loulo-Gounkoto mine due to its suspension amid a tax dispute with the Malian military government.
The analyst says that he sees two possible outcomes: the first, a less favorable tax and royalty agreement allowing continued operation; the second, a complete loss of operations if the government seizes control.
The analyst assumes the mine to restart in late 2025, ramping up to full production in 2026, but under less favorable terms for Barrick Gold.
Consequently, the analyst lowered 2025 estimates for EPS to $1.55 from $1.91 and 2026 EPS to $1.81 from $1.92.
Both Kinross and Barrick Gold will release their fourth-quarter results on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wednesday, February 12, 2025</a>.
Price Action: KGC shares are down 0.89% at $10.60, while GOLD shares are down 1.18% at $15.94 at the last check Monday.
