Equity Management Associates Larry and David | “Gold and copper positions again contributed meaningfully to performance, supported by higher commodity prices. Portfolio holdings Newmont +18% performed strongly. Gold rose 12% over the period, reaching a record high in December. Monetary policy and geopolitical uncertainty continued to provide a positive backdrop for gold. In December, the United States Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25-basis points despite inflation remaining somewhat elevated. The move followed sustained criticism from President Trump and calls for materially lower interest rates. As we enter 2026, we expect sentiment towards gold to remain favourable, particularly ahead of the announcement of a new Federal Reserve Chair. BSD Analysis: Newmont Corporation has unveiled an enhanced capital allocation framework for 2026, aimed at maximizing total shareholder returns through a sustainable 1.1 billion dollar annual dividend. The company is prioritizing margin expansion and robust free cash flow generation from its unrivaled portfolio of tier-one gold and copper assets. Management plans to spend 1.95 billion dollars this year, with a disciplined focus on high-return development projects like the Cadia and Lihir expansions. The ongoing share repurchase program is designed to permanently lower the outstanding share count, driving significant per-share dividend increases over the commodity cycle. While gold price volatility remains a factor, Newmont's resilient balance sheet and low-cost production profile provide a solid defensive buffer. As the world's largest gold miner, Newmont offers a compelling combination of income stability and exposure to the rising demand for critical minerals.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Jan 12, 2026 | View Pitch |
The Gabelli Dividend Growth Fund Justin Bergner, CFA | “Newmont Corp. (3.6%) (NEM – $99.85 – NYSE) rose over 45% as gold prices surged on expectations of lower real rates and a softer dollar. The company is successfully integrating its Newcrest acquisition and simplifying its portfolio. We continue to view Newmont as a core holding for both income and diversification. BSD Analysis: Newmont is the closest thing to blue-chip gold exposure in public markets. Asset quality and geographic diversification matter more than quarterly gold prices. Cost discipline is the swing factor in a volatile commodity. M&A has reshaped the portfolio, sometimes messily, but scale matters in mining. Balance-sheet strength protects downside better than smaller peers. Gold price leverage remains the core thesis. This is not a growth stock. It's a hedge with operational execution layered on top. Newmont works when uncertainty returns.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
Hirschmann Capital Brian Hirschmann | “I remain extremely bullish on our portfolio. Our gold mining equities remain very undervalued, and gold prices should skyrocket when the US superbubble inevitably bursts. For more information, please see my recent letters and interviews. BSD Analysis: The manager's conviction in gold miners stems from macro dislocation risk and undervaluation relative to bullion. With global central banks accumulating gold and miners trading at ~0.8x NAV and 8–10x cash flow, upside could be material if real yields compress. Balance sheets are lean, and capital discipline remains high. The position serves as both a defensive inflation hedge and leveraged play on gold price appreciation.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Oct 8, 2024 | View Pitch |
