Factors to Watch For KGC Stock
Higher gold prices are likely to have supported the company’s performance in the March quarter. Gold prices are shooting up this year as worries over the global trade war have boosted safe-haven demand for bullion. The price rally has been driven by a surge in safe-haven demand amid the intense trade tussle, global economic uncertainties and a weaker U.S. dollar. Prices of the yellow metal climbed nearly 19% in the first quarter and are already up roughly 23% this year. Our estimate for first-quarter average realized gold price per ounce for KGC is pegged at $2,604, suggesting a 25.8% rise from the prior-year quarter.
Kinross has a strong production profile and boasts a promising pipeline of exploration and development projects. Tasiast and Paracatu, the company’s two biggest assets, remain the key contributors to cash flow generation and production. Tasiast, which remains the lowest-cost asset within its portfolio, is likely to have achieved strong performance while Paracatu is expected to continue to have delivered steady production in the first quarter.
KGC, like most miners, is exposed to higher production costs. It saw a 12.5% year-over-year rise in production costs of sales per ounce to $1,098 in the fourth quarter of 2024. The same also rose roughly 8% year over year to $1,020 in 2024. While KGC is taking actions to control costs, the inflationary pressure is likely to have continued in the first quarter, weighing on its overall financial performance.
Here are some companies in the basic materials space you may want to consider as our model shows they too have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this quarter:
