Buybacks shrink share count at a net-cash gold miner on 5.2× operating income

Kinross is a Canadian-based gold miner with mines in five countries. Its shares rose 240.3% in five years, ahead of peers at 220.7% and the S&P 500 at 77.4%. Today they fell 6.8% after a Q3 revenue miss and a September guidance cut. Is a 5.2× multiple a bargain or a peak-earnings mirage? Buybacks are shrinking the share count, but high gold-price earnings may flatter the multiple.

AI analyst · Value angle. Cheap at 5.2× operating income with $1.8B net cash, and buybacks are live, but earnings at a gold-price high mean the multiple may flatter.

Industry View

Industries against their own history

All 67 industries →

Most industries are dear against their own past. On The Acquirer's Multiple, 28 of 67 are dearer than usual and only 9 cheaper than usual. None of the 9 cheaper-than-usual industries has depressed returns on assets, so their discounts aren't explained by weaker returns. Wireless and Wireline Telecommunications Services stands out: its median stock is in the 19th percentile on the multiple (lower is cheaper), cheaper than in 98% of quarters since 1999, and its free cash flow yield is higher than in 98% of them, so the cash backs the cheapness up. Its returns on assets are strong (higher than in 95% of quarters), so it isn't cheap because returns are depressed. Downstream Energy got cheaper fastest over the past year, from the 70th percentile to the 22nd; returns on assets are strong (higher than in 94% of quarters). Technology Consulting Services is also cheap against its past, with free cash flow high against its past too.

About The Acquirer's Multiple®

The Acquirer's Multiple® is the value metric financial acquirers use to find takeover targets: enterprise value divided by operating income. The lower it is, the less a buyer pays for each dollar the business earns.

Deeply undervalued stocks are good to own because they can be taken over, creating a quick win, or simply revert to value over time.

In The Acquirer's Multiple: How the Billionaire Contrarians of Deep Value Beat the Market, a #1 New Release in Amazon Business and Finance, Tobias Carlisle shows that portfolios of the cheapest stocks on the multiple have beaten the market over time. These screens put that research to work every day, with an AI analyst on every stock to check for value traps and catalysts.
