Super Zahlen und wieder mal ein neues Rekordquartl. Was noch wichtiger für uns Minenanleger ist das Agnico die Flüsterschätzungen um weiten geschlagen hat. Dazu hat man die Quartalsdividende von 0,30 auf 0,40 US Dollar erhöht. Man kauft eigene Aktien zurück und man hat die Schulden dieses Jahr um über 1 Billionen US Dollar auf 490Mio US Dollar gesenkt und gleichzeitig die Cashposition auf ca 977 Mio US Dollar ausgebaut.
Die AISC sind bei 1286 US Dollar gelandet und es wurden knapp über 863000 Unzen Gold produziert.
Ich bin sehr zufrieden und ich gehe fest davon aus das der Markt es auch sein wird.
2024.

This quarter we repaid $375 million of debt, increased our cash position and continued to provide strong returns to shareholders," said Ammar Al-Joundi, Agnico Eagle's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We remain focused on realizing the full potential of our assets through continuous improvement and by advancing our pipeline of projects and supplemental exploration program.
