Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (AEM) on Decifer

Decifer ranks AEM number 191 of 277 tracked names on durable business quality.

Why it ranks here

• It earns solid returns on the money it puts to work, around 13% and those returns have been improving and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
• Revenue is growing about 44% a year, profits grew 135% over the past year, and growth is speeding up, not slowing down.
• It keeps a high share of every sale as profit, with profitability widening as it grows.
• It is riding an active market tailwind and has the balance sheet to fund its growth.
• It keeps issuing a lot of new shares, which dilutes its owners and it returns cash to shareholders.
• Its profit margin and growth are both unusually high right now compared to its own history, the kind of combination that often fades once conditions normalize.
• Revenue up about 44% and profits up 135% look powerful, but heavy share issuance, margins that often fade, momentum of 1 out of 35, and no worldview role temper the picture.

The current read

The evidence on AEM lines up on the supportive side: a live market force supports this name through its theme connection. The independent signals we track are telling the same story.
