This 5-Minute Pitch was originally published on Seeking Alpha before the launch of the Hunting Alphas website. It is shared here to showcase my previous work and track record. New 5-Minute Pitches published on this site will not be disseminated anywhere else.

Elevator Pitch

• AEM offers leveraged upside to gold in 2026 as the Fed shifts to a more accommodative stance and balance sheet policy becomes increasingly supportive of non-yielding assets like gold.
• Structural central bank buying and early-stage gold ETF restocking suggest a multi‑year positive demand backdrop, providing a favorable macro tailwind for gold prices and AEM.
• AEM is increasing growth capex into five major Canadian and Mexican projects that are expected to lift production by about 20% over the next 5–8 years.
• AEM sits in the second decile of the global AISC cost curve at roughly $1300 per ounce, providing low-cost, unhedged operating leverage to higher gold prices.
• AEM currently trades at a trough-like 1‑year forward P/CFPS multiple in line with peers, despite its historically large premium for low-risk jurisdictions and a still-strong, consolidating relative uptrend versus the S&P 500.
