This is due, first, to the fact that free cash flow among gold producers is now ten times higher than it was in 2020. Second, long-term liabilities are now only half as high relative to equity. After all, gold producers have the highest return on equity of any sector, at 12 percent. Furthermore, their valuation relative to the S&P 500 is at its lowest level in about 20 years. Shares of metal producers are trading at a 19 percent discount to their net asset value.
High gold prices have, in fact, pushed margins to record levels. This is how positively Bank of America’s experts view the precious metals mining sector—even as they anticipate that the gold price will face headwinds for the remainder of the year. This is because the bank’s experts anticipate three interest rate hikes by the Fed in 2026. As a result, they recently lowered their gold price forecast for 2026 by 14 percent to $4,360 per troy ounce. However, they, too, remain optimistic about the gold price in the long term—as, incidentally, do most market experts.
Higher interest rates are negative for stocks, as they reduce the money supply. Therefore, if the Fed raises rates, investors could sell overvalued stocks and focus on smaller, cheaper, and somewhat neglected stocks. And for Bank of America, the precious metals mining sector is among the most attractive sectors. In addition, mining stocks, just like gold itself, can help diversify a portfolio.
Fortuna Mining - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/fortuna-mining-inc/ - is a successful gold and silver producer with mines in West Africa and Latin America. In the second quarter of 2026, more than 72,000 gold-equivalent ounces were produced, similar to the first quarter. The company is advancing the Diamba Sud gold project in Senegal; the environmental and social impact assessment has been approved, and the positive results of the feasibility study have been published.
Discovery Mining (formerly Discovery Silver) - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/discovery-silver-corp/ - is working on the development of the highly promising Cordero silver project in Mexico (100 percent owned). Production is expected to reach approximately 37 million silver-equivalent ounces annually over the first twelve years. The company also produces gold (Porcupine Project). Production of approximately 260,000 to 300,000 ounces of gold is expected in 2026, with a target of growing to more than 500,000 ounces of gold. Discovery Silver has also completed the acquisition of Glencore’s 100 percent stake in the Kidd operations (copper, silver, zinc, and valuable processing facilities) in Timmins.
