Winston Score History

The full picture

Agnico Eagle Mines is a company that digs gold out of the ground and sells it. It operates gold mines across Canada, Australia, Finland, and Mexico, making it one of the largest gold mining companies in the world. Gold is sold mainly to banks, refiners, and jewelry makers.

The company makes money by selling the gold it produces, with revenue tied directly to the global price of gold. Agnico Eagle is known for operating in politically stable countries, which reduces the risk of government interference — a real problem for some competitors. Its high gross margin of around 62% suggests it can pull gold out of the ground at a relatively low cost compared to what it sells for. The main risk is that gold prices can fall sharply, which would hurt revenue even if the company keeps producing the same amount of metal.

Strong grower

Agnico Eagle Mines Limited is growing revenue at 32% year-over-year. The Winston Score penalises unprofitable companies, but revenue at this pace tells a different story — this is a company still in "build mode."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
