New Gold: Potentially Perfect Timing Makes It A Buy

  • New Gold is at a financial inflection point, with ramp-ups, cost cuts, and high gold prices driving strong free cash flow and margin expansion through 2027. The company's recent acquisition of the remaining New Afton interest boosts cash flow, but timing raises questions given current high gold prices and mine life limits. Risks include mine life peaking after 2027 and heavy reliance on sustained high gold prices, but management's execution and new discoveries could offset declines.
