Upturn Advisory & Investor View for AEM

09/15/2026: AEM (4-star) is a STRONG-BUY. BUY for 26 days. Simulated Profits (9.34%). Updated daily EoD!

Agnico Eagle Mines is a senior global gold producer with a focus on mining operations in stable jurisdictions like Canada and Australia. The company is known for its high-quality, long-life assets and a consistent record of operational execution, bolstered by the transformative 2022 merger with Kirkland Lake Gold. Its main growth story centers on optimizing this expanded portfolio and maximizing efficiency in existing, proven mining regions. Primary risks include exposure to volatile commodity prices, operational execution challenges, and the potential for rising regulatory costs. The stock may suit investors seeking long-term exposure to the gold sector through a relatively stable producer with a history of dividend payments.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

AEM receives a 4-star rating, supported by strong unit economics, solid company fundamentals, solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

AEM has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, strong growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+135.4%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 35.8%) are partially offset by very low insider ownership of 0.07%.

Financial Health Rating

AEM's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $4.3B (35.8% of revenue). Liquidity is solid (4 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Earnings growth is AEM's strongest growth driver at +135.4% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). Revenue growth (+43.7%, strong) and free-cash-flow growth (+100.4%, strong) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 71.1% and approximately 99.9% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.07%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

Van Eck Associates Corporation 4.19%
Capital World Investors 3.90%
FMR Inc 3.87%
Royal Bank of Canada 2.97%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 2.71%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

AEM generates approximately $581 of gross profit, $531 of operating income, and $358 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

Effective Tax Rate: 33.45%

Quantitative Style Profile

AEM has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
