The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday, Feb. 18, edition that National Bank Financial analyst Shane Nagle, seeing an "improved production growth outlook," increased his share target for Agnico Eagle Mines to $330 from $320 with an unchanged "outperform" recommendation. The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that analysts on average target the shares at $314.84. Mr. Nagle says in a note: "We have incorporated Q4 results and aligned our near-term operating assumptions with three-year outlook, leading to a slight increase in target. Our 'outperform' rating remains based on Agnico Eagle's operating base in low-risk jurisdictions combined with its continued strong/consistent operational performance and organic growth outlook." The Globe reported on April 24 and Feb. 5 that Mr. Nagle continued to rank Agnico Eagle "outperform." The shares could then be had for $164.26 and $277.33.
