Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (AEM) - Overview

Current Price: $203.09 (as of April 21, 2026)
Market Cap: $101.7B
Sector: Gold / Metals & Mining

Recent Performance

  • 1-Day: -6.15%
  • 1-Week: -7.66%
  • 1-Month: +13.38%
  • YTD: +19.8%

AEM experienced a sharp pullback this week after a strong month-long rally. The stock remains up significantly year-to-date.

Short Interest Metrics

  • SI % of Free Float: 1.09% (very low)
  • Days to Cover: 1.37
  • Cost to Borrow: 0.54% (minimal)
  • Utilization: 1.13% (extremely low)
  • Availability: 8,874% of SI (ample shares to borrow)

Short interest increased 13.2% over the past month but remains at very low absolute levels. The stock is not heavily shorted, with minimal borrowing costs and exceptionally high availability.

ORTEX Stock Scores (as of April 22, 2026)

  • Total Score: 80.9/100 (Strong)
  • Growth: 78.8/100
  • Momentum: 70.7/100
  • Quality: 72.4/100
  • Value: 43.8/100

AEM shows strong overall scores, particularly in growth and quality metrics. The lower value score reflects the stock's premium valuation after the recent rally. Momentum scores have declined in recent sessions following the price pullback.

Fundamentals

  • Revenue: $17.0B (estimated)
  • EBITDA: $12.2B
  • Net Income: $7.2B
  • EPS: $13.48
  • EV/EBITDA: 8.47x
  • Operating Cash Flow: $9.2B
  • CapEx: -$2.8B
  • Net Debt: -$6.8B (net cash position)

The company maintains a strong balance sheet with net cash and robust profitability. The EV/EBITDA multiple is reasonable for a major gold producer.

Options Sentiment

  • Put/Call Ratio: 0.68 (bullish - more calls than puts)
  • 20-Day Mean PCR: 0.73
  • Z-Score: -0.98 (below average, indicating elevated call activity)

Options sentiment remains constructive despite the recent selloff, with call activity running above recent averages.

Technical Indicators

  • RSI (14): 43.88 (neutral, approaching oversold)
  • Analyst Return Potential: 24.96% upside to target

Upcoming Events

  • Next Earnings: April 30, 2026 (Q1 2026 results)

Summary

AEM is a high-quality gold miner with strong fundamentals, minimal short interest, and solid ORTEX scores. The recent 6-7% weekly decline has pushed RSI toward oversold territory while options sentiment remains bullish. With earnings approaching on April 30th and analysts projecting ~25% upside, the stock presents an interesting setup for investors comfortable with gold sector exposure.
