- In this update, we'll dig into the fiscal Q3 results, the fiscal Q4 outlook, and where the stock's updated low-risk buy zone lies.
The Q1 Earnings Season for the Gold Miners Index ( GDX ) was the first step in a turnaround for the industry, with meaningful margin expansion for most producers after a brutal three-year period (2021-2023). This was despite the first quarter typically being a softer production quarter for the group, impacting unit costs because of the lower denominator. Fortunately, Evolution Mining Limited ( CAHPF ) is following this trend with record gold prices helping to deleverage, and it has a monster fiscal Q4 on deck (calendar year Q2) with production expected to come in at record levels (230,000+ ounces).
