Globe says MacRury upgrades Barrick share target

2020-07-30 07:45 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, July 30, edition that Canaccord Genuity is bullish on gold. The Globe's David Leeder writes that Canaccord expects gold to top $2,000 (U.S.) per ounce (all figures Canadian unless otherwise stated). Canaccord notes that gold is up 86 per cent from December, 2015, which is "below the average bull market gain of 111 per cent." Canaccord's long-term gold price is $2,015 (U.S.) per ounce, up from $1,926 (U.S.). Accordingly, analyst Carey MacRury, while maintaining his "hold" call on Barrick Gold ($38.35), boosted his share target to $47 from $43. Analysts on average target the shares at $45.50. Canaccord's bullish stance is based on four factors: continued accommodative fiscal and monetary policies for the foreseeable future; inflation expectations normalizing; slow growth and rising debt levels and supply remaining "challenged." At the same time, Canaccord raised its silver price assumption by 25 per cent with a new long-term price of $25.83 per ounce, up from $20.64. The Globe reported on March 2 that Raymond James rated the shares "outperform," when they were worth $$25.50. The Globe's Gordon Pape was bullish on Barrick on July 16. It was then worth $36.27.
