Read MoreHide Full Article
Goldcorp Inc. completed the earlier announced sale of its interest in the Camino Rojo oxide project, located in Zacatecas, Mexico, to Orla Mining Limited following the receipt of Mexican anti-trust approval and satisfying the customary closing conditions for the transaction.
Pursuant to an asset purchase deal between Goldcorp and Orla, the former indirectly acquired 31,860,141 common shares (representing roughly 19.9% of issued and outstanding common shares) of the latter, following the deal closure.
According to Goldcorp, Orla’s shares are presently held by the company for investment purposes. The company may purchase additional securities, dispose of some or all of the existing or additional securities or continue to hold the securities of Orla, subject to the terms of an investor rights agreement.
Goldcorp’s shares have moved up 4.2% in the past three months, outperforming the industry’s 1.2% decline.
Goldcorp reported net earnings of $111 million or 13 cents per share for third-quarter 2017, compared with $59 million or 7 cents recorded a year ago. Barring one-time items, adjusted earnings for the quarter was 9 cents per share, which was in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
Goldcorp recorded revenues of $866 million in the reported quarter, narrowly missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $868 million.
The company expects gold production of 2.5 million ounces (+/- 5%) for 2017, unchanged from previous guidance. All-in sustaining costs for 2017 has been projected at $825 per ounce (+/- 5%), down from $850 per ounce expected earlier.
Goldcorp has reduced sustaining capital expenditure guidance by $100 million to $600 million for 2017 due to the company’s focus on capital management discipline as part of its $250 million annual sustainable efficiency program.
Sociedad Quimica has an expected long-term earnings growth rate of 32.5%.
BHP Billiton has an expected long-term earnings growth rate of 5.3%.
Westlake Chemical has an expected long-term earnings growth rate of 8.4%.
Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +18.8% from 2016 - Q1 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +157.0%, +128.0%, +97.8%, +94.7%, and +90.2% respectively.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - Q1 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 11X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
