Most Popular Narrative: 21.5% Undervalued
The most followed narrative pegs Barrick Mining’s fair value at CA$71.61, above the last close of CA$56.25, framing the current reset as a valuation gap to explain.
Significant ongoing expansion of both gold and copper production capacity, particularly at Lumwana and via organic growth at Fourmile and Reko Diq, is cited as positioning Barrick to capture elevated long-term demand for gold (as a financial hedge during geopolitical uncertainty and inflation) and copper (often associated with electrification and infrastructure investment), which is used to support expectations for top-line revenue growth over the coming decade.
Want to see what is built into that fair value label? The narrative leans heavily on multi year revenue growth, firm margins, and a lower future earnings multiple than many peers.
Result: Fair Value of CA$71.61 (UNDERVALUED)
Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what’s behind the forecasts.
However, that fair value story depends on Reko Diq staying financially viable, and on rising ESG and permitting costs not eroding the margins analysts are assuming.
