At a share price of A$12.91, Evolution Mining has seen a 13.05% 90 day share price return, while its 1 year total shareholder return is approximately 1.5x and the 3 year total shareholder return is just over 3x. This suggests that recent gold price highs and the upcoming production and cost update are bringing the company back into focus.

With Evolution Mining trading above its analyst price target and showing strong multi year total returns, the key question now is simple: are you looking at an overextended gold play, or is the market still underestimating future growth?

Most Popular Narrative: 26.3% Overvalued

However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of A$8.9, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just A$3.8.
