Gold has hit new record highs in the past year as a hedge against uncertain economic conditions.
Rather than invest directly in gold, investors may benefit by investing in gold mining companies.
Besides gold stocks, investors can also get exposure from gold ETFs and mutual funds.
Gold stocks — shares of miners and royalty/streaming companies of the precious metal — offer investors leveraged, indirect exposure to the metal while tying returns to corporate execution. Historically, they’ve helped diversify portfolios and hedge bouts of inflation, tightening liquidity or market stress while providing potential operational upside.
But they are not the same as owning bullion. Earnings quality, cost discipline, jurisdictional risk, balance-sheet strength and management execution can amplify (or mute) what gold prices alone would deliver.
With gold testing record highs, central banks accumulating reserves, and geopolitics unsettled, many analysts see a strategic role for appropriate gold stocks in diversified portfolios. The picks below are ranked on a blend Zacks Rank signals, Style Scores and fundamentals.
This is our short term rating system that serves as a timeliness indicator for stocks over the next 1 to 3 months. How good is it? See rankings and related performance below.
The Zacks Industry Rank assigns a rating to each of the 265 X (Expanded) Industries based on their average Zacks Rank.
An industry with a larger percentage of Zacks Rank #1's and #2's will have a better average Zacks Rank than one with a larger percentage of Zacks Rank #4's and #5's.
The industry with the best average Zacks Rank would be considered the top industry (1 out of 265), which would place it in the top 1% of Zacks Ranked Industries. The industry with the worst average Zacks Rank (265 out of 265) would place in the bottom 1%.
The Zacks Sector Rank assigns a rating to each of the 16 Sectors based on their average Zacks Rank.
A sector with a larger percentage of Zacks Rank #1's and #2's will have a better average Zacks Rank than one with a larger percentage of Zacks Rank #4's and #5's.
The sector with the best average Zacks Rank would be considered the top sector (1 out of 16), which would place it in the top 1% of Zacks Ranked Sectors. The sector with the worst average Zacks Rank (16 out of 16) would place in the bottom 1%.
The Style Scores are a complementary set of indicators to use alongside the Zacks Rank. It allows the user to better focus on the stocks that are the best fit for his or her personal trading style.
The scores are based on the trading styles of Value, Growth, and Momentum. There's also a VGM Score ('V' for Value, 'G' for Growth and 'M' for Momentum), which combines the weighted average of the individual style scores into one score.
Value ScoreA
Growth ScoreA
Momentum ScoreA
VGM ScoreA
Within each Score, stocks are graded into five groups: A, B, C, D and F. As you might remember from your school days, an A, is better than a B; a B is better than a C; a C is better than a D; and a D is better than an F.
As an investor, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. That means you want to buy stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2, Strong Buy or Buy, which also has a Score of an A or a B in your personal trading style.
Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) looks to find companies that have recently seen positive earnings estimate revision activity. The idea is that more recent information is, generally speaking, more accurate and can be a better predictor of the future, which can give investors an advantage in earnings season.
The technique has proven to be very useful for finding positive surprises. In fact, when combining a Zacks Rank #3 or better and a positive Earnings ESP, stocks produced a positive surprise 70% of the time, while they also saw 28.3% annual returns on average, according to our 10 year backtest.
Kinross is a mid-tier gold producer with mines in the Americas and West Africa, giving it clear leverage to bullion prices. In 2025, Kinross generated a record free cash flow and enhanced its capital-return framework, providing shareholders with clearer participation in cash generation. Its solid cash flow can fund the pipeline and buybacks without straining the balance sheet.
Potential Risks
Gold-price pullbacks are the biggest variable, and site-level issues or cost inflation can pressure margins. Since the market is pricing in steady execution, any slippage versus the multi-year outlook could dent confidence.
Forecast
A Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) with Scores of B for Value and A for Growth are constructive, but the Momentum D flags volatility. The Price, Consensus & EPS Surprise chart shows consensus EPS stepping higher into 2026–2027, alongside more recent positive surprises and a strong price trend.

Newmont is a large-cap gold miner with additional copper exposure that can diversify cash flow. In full-year 2025, Newmont achieved disciplined operational execution and generated record free cash flow. The company also enhanced its capital-allocation framework and increased its quarterly dividend rate, a sign that portfolio actions are translating into shareholder returns.
Potential Risks
Guidance implies higher spending and cost inflation risk, with sizable sustaining and development capital planned for 2026, so any operational slippage could compress the company’s margins.
Forecast
A Zacks Rank #3 with Scores of B for Value and A for Growth suggest solid factor support, even with a Momentum C. The company’s chart shows consensus EPS estimates bending higher into 2026–2027 and a recent run of positive earnings surprises as the price trends up.

Agnico Eagle is a senior gold producer with operations spread across Canada, Australia, and Finland. The company offers a balanced capital-allocation profile, pairing shareholder returns with reinvestment in organic projects and exploration that can add incremental production over time. Agnico also has a deep pipeline of near-mine drilling opportunities, which can extend mine life and add ounces at attractive returns.
Potential Risks
Operational hiccups, grade variability, or cost inflation can compress margins, and permitting or project timing setbacks can weigh on sentiment. A premium multiple after a strong run can also amplify pullbacks.
Forecast
A Zacks Rank #3, with Scores of A for Growth and B for Momentum, suggests solid factor support despite Value D. The company’s chart shows consensus EPS estimates trending higher into 2026–2027 and mostly positive surprises as the price surged.

DPM Metals is a gold-focused miner with copper byproducts, centered on Bulgaria’s Chelopech and Ada Tepe. In 2025, DPM reported record financial performance and strong free cash flow, pointing to the resilience of its low-cost base at Chelopech and Ada Tepe. The company’s growth outlook, which targets higher output while staying cost-competitive, holds promise.
Potential Risks
Geographic concentration raises exposure to permitting, fiscal, or political shifts, and the development pipeline adds execution risk. A gold-price retrenchment would quickly cool cash flow and sentiment. Currency moves can also affect costs and risk perception.
Forecast
With a Zacks Rank #3, Scores of D for Value, C for Growth, and D for Momentum, point to an uneven setup. The company’s chart shows consensus EPS estimates climbing steeply into 2026–2027, with several recent positive earnings surprises as the price breaks out.

Centerra is a mid-tier gold producer with output from Mount Milligan in Canada and Öksüt in Turkey. In Q4 2025, Centerra delivered strong production, beat cost guidance, and maintained a strong 2026 outlook, emphasizing a self-funded growth strategy backed by cash generation. A solid liquidity position can help finance internal projects while continuing dividends and buybacks.
Potential Risks
Asset concentration means any disruption at Mount Milligan or Öksüt has an outsized impact, and Turkey-specific operating or regulatory risk can re-emerge. Copper price volatility can also swing by-product credits and reported margins.
Forecast
A Zacks Rank #3, with Scores of A for Value, and B for Momentum, suggests fundamentals are supportive, while Growth C implies catalysts must be delivered. The company’s chart shows consensus EPS estimates turning higher into 2026–2027 and a recent earnings mix that skews toward beats as the price trends up.
The Zacks Rank is a proprietary stock-rating model that uses trends in earnings estimate revisions and earnings-per-share (EPS) surprises to classify stocks into five groups: #1 (Strong Buy), #2 (Buy), #3 (Hold), #4 (Sell) and #5 (Strong Sell). The Zacks Rank is calculated through four primary factors related to earnings estimates: analysts' consensus on earnings estimate revisions, the magnitude of revision change, the upside potential and estimate surprise (or the degree in which earnings per share deviated from the previous quarter).
Zacks builds the data from 3,000 analysts at over 150 different brokerage firms. The average yearly gain for Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks is +23.62% per year from January, 1988, through June 2, 2025.
Selections for Best Gold Stocks are based on the current top ranking stocks based on Zacks Indicator Score. For this list, only companies that have average daily trading volumes of 100,000 shares or more were considered. All information is current as of market open, April 2, 2026.
Guide to Gold Stocks
Is it a good time to invest in gold stocks right now?
Given that gold prices are already elevated and many forecasts point to further upside, now is considered a “reasonable time” by many analysts to consider gold stocks. The leverage effect of mining companies means they may outperform bullion if gold continues to rise. However, one must also be cautious: valuations for some stocks might already reflect part of the rally, and risks remain (see next). It’s prudent to size positions carefully and maintain diversification.
Benefits of investing in gold stocks
Operational leverage: As gold prices climb, miners’ margins expand because cost per ounce is relatively fixed.
Dividend potential: Some mature gold companies pay dividends or buy back shares, offering a yield component beyond price appreciation.
Portfolio diversification: Gold stocks can reduce correlation with typical growth stocks, providing a hedge in volatile markets.
Risks of investing in gold stocks
Operational & geological risk: Mining has many moving parts—cost overruns, mine disruptions, regulatory issues, jurisdiction risks.
Gold-price risk: If gold falls or stagnates (for example due to higher interest rates), miners will suffer in the opposite direction—sometimes more steeply.
Valuation risk: Stocks may already price in strong future gold prices; if those don’t materialize, downside exists.
Gold stocks vs Gold stocks ETF vs physical Gold
Physical Gold: You own actual bullion; no company risk, but you incur storage & insurance costs, no dividends, and liquidity might be lower.
Gold stocks: You get corporate leverage to gold price, potential dividends, but you assume company-specific risks.
Gold ETFs (physical bullion): Track gold price directly, low cost, easy to trade, no storage issues—but they don’t offer dividends or operations upside.
Gold-mining ETFs: Bundle many gold stocks—diversifies company risk but still carries mining equity risk—and may amplify upside or downside relative to bullion.
How to Select the Best Gold Stocks
When evaluating individual gold names:
Check cost per ounce (all-in sustaining cost) and production profile.
Verify debt levels and balance-sheet health.
Look for a diversified asset base (geography, mine life).
Dividend or buyback policy.
Management track-record and governance.
Valuation relative to peers and forward earnings.
Gold stocks vs Silver stocks: Which one is better?
Silver stocks offer exposure to both precious-metal demand and industrial applications (solar panels, EVs, electronics), which creates a different demand profile. That said, silver often underperforms gold during safe-haven rushes and may carry extra cyclicality. For investors focused purely on a hedge or safe-haven, gold stocks are often the preferred choice—but mixing both may enhance diversification.
Market Trend and Forecast about Gold Stocks
What factors are driving gold prices?
Key drivers include:
Central-bank buying of gold as part of reserves diversification.
A weak U.S. dollar and lower real interest rates make gold more attractive (because gold yields no interest).
Geopolitical uncertainty and inflation concerns push investors toward safe-haven assets.
For miners: higher gold price, stable or declining costs per ounce, improved cash flows.
How do gold stocks perform during inflation or recession?
Historically, gold and gold-stocks have had better relative performance during periods of high inflation or economic stress—thanks to their hedge status. In recessions, while equities may falter, gold may hold its value or rise, which can support gold stocks. That said, mining companies may face production or cost pressures during downturns, so while the metal may hold up, company risks still exist.
Are gold mining stocks undervalued right now?
According to some research, yes. For example, one note points out that while gold has rallied significantly, many mining companies’ valuations remain conservative relative to the metal’s price — offering potential upside if the rally continues. Still, because many investors have already rotated into the sector, valuations may be less of a bargain than in past cycles.
Will rising Interest rates hurt gold mining companies?
Rising real (inflation-adjusted) interest rates typically increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold, which can weigh on gold prices—and thus miners. Additionally, higher rates increase costs for mining firms that borrow. On the flip side, if higher rates reflect inflation-risk or weakness in the economy, gold may benefit. So the net impact depends on the underlying cause of rate increases.
Gold ETFs and Alternatives
Are gold ETFs better than individual gold stocks?
If your primary goal is to track the price of gold (for example as a hedge) rather than pick specific companies, ETFs that hold physical gold may be a simpler, lower-risk approach. They eliminate much of the company-specific risk inherent in mining stocks. On the other hand, stock exposure offers the possibility of outsized returns (when gold rises) via operational leverage—but also greater downside.
Should I invest in gold mutual funds or ETFs? Where is the difference?
Gold ETFs typically offer direct exposure, low expense ratios, high liquidity, and transparent holdings.
Gold mutual funds may invest in a mix of gold stocks, sometimes along with other precious-metal companies, and may have higher fees or minimums. For many self-directed investors, ETFs are more efficient.
Which is appropriate depends on your tax situation, jurisdiction, and preferred investment vehicle.
Should I invest in gold for diversification or growth?
Gold is most commonly used as a diversifier—to reduce portfolio risk, hedge inflation, or provide safe-haven exposure. If you’re seeking growth, gold stocks (especially mining companies) may offer upside—but with higher risk. Understand the role you want gold to play in your portfolio before choosing.
How do dividends from gold companies compare to other sectors?
Many gold mining companies may pay dividends or buy back shares, but yields generally tend to be lower than high-dividend sectors such as utilities or REITs. Because their cash-flows are heavily dependent on commodity prices, dividends may be more variable and less predictable. Royalty/streaming companies often offer steadier payouts.
Best way to diversify with silver in a portfolio
Silver provides a related yet distinct exposure: it is both a precious metal and an industrial metal. To diversify with silver: consider silver-mining stocks or silver ETFs; assess how it correlates with gold and your broader portfolio; keep allocation moderate since silver can be more volatile. Pairing gold and silver may add another dimension of diversification.
Should I invest $1,000 Right now in Gold Stocks and What Will It Look Like?
If you invest $1,000 today in a basket of gold stocks or a gold-stock oriented ETF, here’s a simplified illustration:
Suppose gold rises by 20% over the next year and miners, benefiting from operational leverage, rise by 30%.
A $1,000 investment grows to $1,300 (assuming no fees/dividends).
If instead gold stagnates or falls 10%, miners might fall 15-20% due to the leveraged effect, and you’d end up around $800-$850.
This underlines both the opportunity and risk. A prudent approach: allocate only a portion of your portfolio (e.g., 5-10%) to gold stocks, have a longer time horizon (3-5 years or more), and monitor costs, valuations, the macro backdrop, and company fundamentals.
Common Questions About Gold Stocks
Do gold stocks pay dividends?
Yes—many established gold companies (especially large-caps or royalty/streaming firms) distribute dividends or execute buy-backs. However, payout levels depend on production, gold price, costs, and company capital allocation decisions.
What stocks are backed by gold?
While no stock is “backed” by gold in the same way that a bullion bar is backed, many mining companies’ profitability is tied directly to the gold price. Royalty or streaming companies may also offer quasi-“gold exposure” via agreements to buy gold production at fixed prices.
Is Warren Buffett buying gold?
Historically, Buffett has expressed skepticism toward gold as a productive investment and has favoured businesses generating cash flow rather than commodities per se. There’s no major reported shift recently indicating he’s investing heavily in gold or gold stocks. (As always, check the latest filings for updates.)
