The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Oct. 27, edition that TD Securities analyst Greg Barnes has reaffirmed his "buy" recommendation for Agnico Eagle Mines. The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Barnes knocked his share target back by $8 to $61 (all figures U.S.). Analysts on average target the shares at $65.60. Mr. Barnes says in a note, "We have elected to reduce our target multiples, reflecting lower sector multiples, weak investor interest in the gold sector as a whole, and our expectation that the gold price is likely to reverse some of the gains seen over the past several weeks as the recent safe-haven/short-covering rally dissipates."
