3 Gold Mining Stocks Ready to ShineThese three miners stand out in a tarnished industry

Investors in precious metals and mining stocks have had a tough year. While the metals have improved a bit in recent weeks, gold and silver have both declined over the past year as investors focused more on deflation than the possibility of inflation — which traditionally has created demand for gold and gold mining stocks. Investors and traders who have tried to bottom-fish the precious metals miners have so far been met with nothing but disappointment. When I look at the sector using our stock picking tool Portfolio Grader, I see that the majority of these issues are still rated “Sell” or “Strong Sell.” But a couple of the miners seem to be perking up of late and earning much better grades — they might be worth consideration as candidates to play a rebound in gold and mining.
Sibaneye Gold (SBGL) owns both surface and underground gold mines in South Africa. While the stock can still feel the effect of lower gold prices, analysts are looking for earnings to explode in 2015 — and recent performance has been better than many of its competitors. Since being spun off from Gold Fields (GFI), Sibaneye has acquired other mines and is looking to continue to expand its operations. The gradual improvement and increased potential of this gold miner was picked up by Portfolio Grader back in April and the stock was upgraded to an “A.” Shares of Sibaneye remain a “Strong Buy” at the current price.
Franco-Nevada (FNV) is a gold mining royalty company that is performing well of late. The company provides money up front to develop mines and then receives the right to buy the metal produced at a set price or a percentage of the production. Franco Nevada has streaming and royalty interest in platinum mines as well as some oil and gas assets. The company had a solid first quarter with increased production and management announced they were raising the dividend by 11%. The fundamental improvements have been noticed by Portfolio Grader and this month the stock is being upgraded to a “B” — FNV is a “Buy” at the current price.
Agnico-Eagle Mines (AEM) has gold mining operations in Canada, Finland and Mexico. Wall Street has been very pessimistic about the gold mining industry, and Agnico-Eagle has been vastly exceeding those expectations. In fact the company has now posted three consecutive huge positive earnings surprises and analysts have been scrambling to raise their earnings estimate of both 2014 and 2015. The excellent performance of the company was recognized by Portfolio Grader; in May the stock was upgraded to a “B.” Shares of Agnico-Eagle Mines are a buy at the current price.
