Barrick: Buy For Copper Growth And Valuation Discount

Danil Sereda Investing Group Leader Follow Summary Barrick reported 43.8% revenue growth to $5.29 billion, as adjusted EBITDA surged 51% on strong realized gold and copper prices. B's dual focus on gold and copper positions it for strong pricing environments as copper faces a likely structural deficit by 2027–2028. The delayed North American IPO, now likely in 2027, is seen as a logical move that could unlock higher valuation premiums if operational optimization continues. Shares trade at roughly 10 times forward earnings, representing a steep 30% to 74% valuation discount versus senior gold peers. Applying an 11-times multiple to upgraded fiscal 2027 earnings yields a $54.20 target price, implying 23% upside potential over time. Looking for a helping hand in the market?
