Rating, Target Upgraded on Gold Mining Major Undergoing a Turnaround

Source: Streetwise Reports   09/17/2019

The reasons to be optimistic about this company are covered in a BMO Capital Markets report.

In a Sept. 11 research note, analyst Andrew Kaip reported that his firm BMO Capital Markets upgraded its rating to Outperform and raised its target price to $50 per share from $40 on Newmont Goldcorp Corp. (NEM:NYSE). Driving those positive changes are BMO’s improved outlook for the mining company and the precious metals over the next roughly three years.

“Newmont Goldcorp is in the early stages of a turnaround, and we see the risk-reward as compelling, supported by a valuation discount we expect to begin to narrow as the company executes against its strategy,” Kaip added. The U.S.-based miner’s stock is currently trading at about $39.84 per share.

Also, Kaip presented the primary reasons why the market is likely to rerate Newmont Goldcorp.

One, its management team targets stable production, of 6,000,000–7,000,000 ounces, over the next several years, supplemented by its production of byproducts. Whereas the company could divest of assets during that period, BMO expects they would only be noncore ones.

Two, Newmont Goldcorp “established an exemplary track record of consistency and has delivered over $2 billion in improvements since 2013 through its Full Potential program,” Kaip pointed out. “Investors are beginning to warm up to the turnaround and Full Potential efforts, with 40% of the $365 million to be realized this year, 80% next year and 100% in 2021.”

Three, the mining company has a deep pipeline of staged projects “with targeted internal rates of return greater than 15,” indicated Kaip.
