AGNICO EAGLE MINES LIMITED vs NEWMONT CORPORATION, two Mining stocks. A side-by-side on valuation, growth, margins, returns, and what each price is betting.
The margin gap between the gold majors is real but modest, Agnico Eagle netting 37.5% of revenue against Newmont's 30.1%, and every other line tightens further: returns on equity of 18% and 21.4%, returns on assets near 13% both. The multiples do not tighten: 17.7 times for Agnico against 12.5 for Newmont, five turns of premium for the operator with the tidier jurisdiction map and the cleaner execution record. Newmont pays the bigger dividend, 1%, and yields more cash, 8.8% against 5.6%. Two definitional gold majors at the same point in the same cycle; the spread is entirely reputation, which in mining is another word for memory.
