Should I Buy Barrick Gold Stock? GOLD Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Wednesday, December 18, 2024. Please send any questions or comments about these Barrick Gold pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Barrick Gold
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Barrick Gold Corp:

The company recently announced a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share, which translates to an annualized dividend of $0.40 and a yield of approximately 2.39%. This consistent dividend payment can provide a steady income stream for investors.
As of mid-day trading, Barrick Gold Corp's stock price is $16.90, which is significantly lower than its twelve-month high of $21.35. This may present a buying opportunity for investors looking for potential upside as the stock could rebound towards its previous highs.
Analyst ratings indicate a "Moderate Buy" consensus, with several analysts recently adjusting their price targets upwards, suggesting positive sentiment and potential for price appreciation in the near future.
The company has a relatively low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.14, indicating strong financial health and lower risk, which can be appealing to risk-averse investors.
Barrick Gold Corp has a solid market capitalization of $29.54 billion, which reflects its stability and established presence in the gold and copper production sector, making it a potentially safer investment in the commodities market.

Barrick Gold
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Barrick Gold Corp for these reasons:

The stock has recently traded down by 2.7%, indicating potential volatility and uncertainty in the market, which could deter risk-averse investors.
Despite the positive analyst ratings, the price targets have been adjusted downwards by some analysts, suggesting that there may be concerns about the company's short-term performance.
The company's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is 18.28, which may be considered high compared to industry averages, potentially indicating that the stock is overvalued at its current price.
With a PEG ratio of 0.48, while this suggests growth potential, it also indicates that the stock may not be growing as quickly as expected, which could be a red flag for growth-focused investors.
The recent dividend payout ratio of 43.01% indicates that a significant portion of earnings is being paid out as dividends, which may limit the funds available for reinvestment in the business, potentially affecting long-term growth.
