    Bayer (OTCPK:BAYRY) – Together with Orion Corporation, the company announced that the FDA accepted its New Drug Application and granted Priority Review for darolutamide for the treatment of non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in the United States. This decision was based on data from the phase III ARAMIS trial – recently, Bayer also submitted an application to the European Medicines Agency and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in Japan. The drug candidate is thought to have peak sales potential in excess of $1 billion.

    Overall, investors need to rely on what is factual and can be referenced. FOTIVDA still outperforms Bayers (OTCPK:BAYRY) Nexavar in PFS and ORR. The preliminary OS data is not complete enough for the FDA and that should be acceptable for investors. In fact, the idea the company had not really addressed the issues from the previous CRL would have prevented me from entering a position prior to the PDUFA date. The market overreacted to the NDA delay news as if it was a CRL. Yes, the company has to hold off on submitting, but the management expects to file an NDA before the end of 2019; which would put the PDUFA date in the second half of 2020.

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Neha Chamaria]

    In fact, there couldn’t be a better time to buy gold stocks, given the ongoing industry consolidation. Two massive recent deals — Barrick Gold’s (NYSE:GOLD) merger with Randgold Resources and Newmont Mining’s (NYSE:NEM) impending acquisition of Goldcorp (NYSE:GG) — are creating the world’s two largest publicly traded gold mining companies. More recently, Barrick Gold even made a takeover bid for Newmont Mining, but the two gold mining giants have only agreed to combine their operations in Nevada in a joint venture as of this writing. These developments make investing in gold stocks now incredibly interesting.

  • [By Chris Hill]

    It’s not every day that mining companies make the news here, and that’s because investors are often better off ignoring them. But Barrick Gold(NYSE:GOLD) and Newmont Mining(NYSE:NEM) have been tying up in a big way, creating something to the tune of a $30 billion joint venture in the gold space.

    Markel(NYSE:MKL)announced fourth-quarter and full-year 2018 results on Tuesday after the market closed. The diversified insurance and financial holding company detailed seemingly steep losses, albeit driven by a combination of one-time writedowns and new accounting standards that track the fair value of its equity portfolio.

  • [By Matthew Frankel, CFP]

    Moser: We’re looking forward to that. I’m going to go, on that same wavelength there, our little baby Berkshire that we always call it, Markel (NYSE:MKL), ticker MKL, earnings are coming out on Tuesday. Not a lot that goes on with this business on a quarter-to-quarter basis. It’s pretty consistent. You’ve got the insurance business, you’ve got the Markel Venture side of things. They’ve got their investment portfolio, much like Berkshire Hathaway has. Listeners will recall that there was a little bit of an issue here. They announced there was an investigation into the reinsurance side of the business, specifically it was in regard to reserves. Looking for any clarity on that, and how it could play out on the business here for the coming year. It’s a reserve issue, it doesn’t sound like it’s anything very pivotal to the overall company. But, hey, maybe it plays out on the book value of the company in the short run, and maybe that offers investors an opportunity if there’s a little dip in the stock. This has been one that we’ve owned for long periods of time here in a number of our services here at The Fool, and I suspect that will remain the case regardless of what they say with the earnings release. But hey, if the stock takes a dive, investors may want to take a look at it because it’s still a very good business.

    Newmont Mining (NYSE:NEM) was downgraded by analysts at Zacks Investment Research from a hold rating to a strong sell rating. According to Zacks, “Estimates for Newmont for the third quarter and full year have gone down lately. Newmont faces headwinds from high production costs. The company’s all-in sustaining costs rose year over year in the second quarter, mainly due to higher per unit costs applicable to sales, exploration costs and increased spending on advanced projects. The company is also exposed to a highly volatile gold price environment. Lack of growth in the company’s gold reserves is another concern. Moreover, the company’s shares have underperformed the industry it belongs to, in the past six months.”

Barrick estimates that the massive balance-sheet effort has saved it around $300 million a year in interest expenses.

Hot Stocks To Invest In 2019

LOUISVILLE, Ky. The fallout for Papa John’s pizza founder John Schnatter was swift Wednesday after he admitted to using a highly offensive racial slur during a May conference call, including his resignation from the University of Louisville board of trustees.

The pizza baron and self-made billionaire apologized for using the N-word after a report by Forbes magazine surfaced early Wednesday citing comments he made while discussing how to prevent future public relations fumbles with the company’s marketing contractor.

“News reports attributing the use of inappropriate and hurtful language to me during a media training session regarding race are true,” Schnatter said. “Regardless of the context, I apologize. Simply stated, racism has no place in our society.”

University of Louisville trustees Chairman J. David Grissom said in announcing the resignation that while Schnatter’s remarks were “inappropriate, (they) do not reflect his personal beliefs or values. No member of the board of trustees condones racism or insensitive language regardless of the setting.”

    Barrick isn’t the only major miner that’s been focused on debt reduction. But it has been beating peers like Newmont Mining (NYSE:NEM), Kinross Gold (NYSE:KGC), and Goldcorp (NYSE:GG) on this front, in some cases by a very wide margin. Barrick estimates that the massive balance-sheet effort has saved it around $300 million a year in interest expenses. Long-term debt is now back down to around 30% of the miner’s capital structure.

If your clients are shopping around for a new place to live and work, or simply to retire, it’s important that financial professionals can help them make informed decisions based on their goals and desires and how those fit within their financial plans.

Portland, Oregon, known for its microbreweries, hipster vibe and fledgling tech scene, tops the study’s list and is expected to see the highest rise in cost of living in 2018.

For the quarter, the gold miner posted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.25 on revenues of $1.79 billion. In the same period a year ago, the company reported a loss per share of $0.03 on revenues of $1.82 billion.

    Barrick Gold is the largest gold miner in the world, producing 5.32 million ounces of the precious metal in 2017. While that was down from 5.53 million ounces in 2016 — and well off the company’s peak from a few years ago — it was enough to edge out Newmont Mining’s (NYSE:NEM) 5.27 million ounces for the top spot. In addition to gold, Barrick also produced 413 million pounds of copper, which — while significant — pales in comparison to Freeport-McMoRan’s 3.7 billion pounds, enough to make it the world’s largest publicly traded copper producer.

Good News for Newmont Mining Corp Stock Looks Priced In

Leave a reply

If an investor wants to buy a major gold miner, Newmont Mining Corp (NYSE:NEM) probably isn’t a bad pick. Indeed, NEM stock has posted exceptional returns of late, as Newmont Mining stock has more than doubled since early 2016.

A solid first-quarter report on Thursday morning should help the bull case. Newmont Mining earnings came in above analyst consensus, and full-year guidance looks solid. Gold hit an 18-month high in January, and increased market volatility and geopolitical tension could help the yellow metal going forward.

But after the gains of the last two-plus years, I question whether there’s much upside left in Newmont Mining stock. More importantly, I question whether, over the long-term, there’s any reason to invest in NEM, or any other gold miner, at all.

NEM Earnings Look Solid

Newmont’s first-quarter earnings look solid across the board. Revenue of $1.82 billion did miss analyst estimates by 1%. But non-generally accepted accounting principles earnings per share of $0.35 was two pennies better than Street forecasts.

Looking closer, the news looks good as well. Adjusted EBITDA rose 12% year-over-year, despite lower production. Quarterly production of 1.2 million ounces was in line with the company’s expectations and should ramp as the year goes on.

AISC (all-in sustaining cost) of $973 per ounce leaves plenty of room for profit, given realized prices of $1,329, up 9% year-over-year. And the AISC figure is toward the lower end of a full-year range of $965-$1,025, a good start to the year.

The quarter seems to show a gold miner on track. Gold pricing is a tailwind. Newmont is controlling costs. Production will benefit from new projects coming online in the second half of the year. In fact, Newmont is likely to pass Barrick Gold Corp (USA) (NYSE:ABX) as the world’s largest gold producer.

All told, it’s a good quarter. But it doesn’t do much to change the two fundamental problems facing NEM stock.

NEM Stock Valuation

The first problem is that Newmont Mining stock isn’t exactly cheap. Earnings multiples aren’t always the best way to value miners, but at almost 24x forward earnings, NEM stock isn’t a value play.

An 8.3x EV/EBITDA multiple does help the case here a bit; cash flow multiples are in the teens. But in the mid-term, there’s not a ton of reason to expect torrid bottom-line growth for Newmont Mining.

After all, the company is guiding for roughly flat production in 2019 — followed by a dip for the next three years. Costs should come down next year — and then stabilize. Lower capital expenditures will help free cash flow — but also limit the company’s growth opportunities as its mines age over the next decade. According to the company’s investor presentation after Q1, it expects roughly flat production through at least Q4.

Compare Brokers

And once cost savings are felt in full next year, there’s not much fat left to cut. Interest expense already has come down nicely, thanks to debt reduction. But for the most part, Newmont Mining’s free cash flow is going to flatten out relatively soon. At 16x that free cash flow, that’s not a hugely enticing profile.

Should You Ever Buy NEM Stock?

Even those models assume that all goes to plan. And the history of the mining space — particularly in gold — shows that’s rarely been the case.

After all, the point of owning a miner is to gain leverage to upside in the price of the underlying commodity. If the price of gold increases, a miner’s cash flow should increase at a much faster rate. And — at least in theory — its stock price should do the same.

That has not been the case, however. ABX, Goldcorp Inc. (USA) (NYSE:GG), Kinross Gold Corporation (USA) (NYSE:KGC), and AngloGold Ashanti Limited (ADR) (NYSE:AU) all have declined at least 60% over the past decade. Gold has risen over that period.

NEM stock has performed better than its peers. But it’s still down over 8% over the last ten years, with its total return just 5% including dividends.

Is this time necessarily different? Perhaps. Newmont has fixed its balance sheet and should generate solid free cash flow over the next few years. There’s a case for gold to continue to rise amid higher inflation expectations and rising geopolitical tension. That higher gold price should help Newmont Mining earnings — and Newmont Mining stock.

But the problem remains. It’s simpler, and safer, to just buy gold. Options and futures offer the same leverage miners offer in theory – without the problems that so often afflict the model in practice. If an investor wants leveraged upside to gold prices, there are easier ways to get it than buying a gold miner. Even after a solid Q1, that problem hasn’t changed for Newmont Mining stock.
