Gold Stock Wavers Around Entry
South African-based Gold Fields pulled back more than 3% Monday as gold prices eased from recent highs. The gold mining name revisited a buy zone Friday, as gold acted strongly amid the attacks between Israel and Iran.
The gold stock is back below the 25.52 buy point of a seven-week-long consolidation pattern. The buy range stretches to 26.80. Gold Fields stock has climbed 88% so far this year and reached a record high June 5.
Gold Fields ranks No. 1 out of 78 stocks in the Mining-Gold/Silver/Gems group, which holds the 3rd spot out of the 197 industry group IBD tracks.
The gold producer has nine mines throughout Australia, Canada, Chile, Ghana, South Africa and Peru.
The company's profit exploded in the second half of 2024, as weather-related issues and operational challenges in the first half of the year improved. The gold miner also restructured and appointed a full-time chief financial officer in the second half of the year.
Profit grew to 52 cents per share in the second half of 2024 from 15 cents per share in the prior year. And revenue saw a 38% jump to $1.54 billion.
Chief Executive Mike Fraser expects to build on 2024's positive results. "Encouragingly, this momentum has continued into the new year, positioning our portfolio well to deliver a marked operational and financial improvement in 2025," he said in Gold Fields' 2024 earnings report released Feb. 20.
The gold stock has top-notch IBD scores, including a 99 Composite, 98 Earnings Per Share and a 96 Relative Strength Rating.

It also reaffirmed its full-year 2025 earnings-per-share guidance of $12.70 to $12.90, and forecast 2025 revenue growth in the 7.5% to 8.5% range. Trane Technologies expects to be in the high end of both ranges.
