On September 1, Agnico Eagle Mines fell 3.32% in regular trading, trading at approximately $196.27 per share, with turnover of $28.95 million. The decline was driven by persistent pressure on spot gold after it broke below the $4,600 per ounce level, weighing heavily on the broader precious metals sector.
On the macro front, the U.S. July core PCE came in at +3.3% year-over-year, in line with expectations, which reinforced market expectations for a Fed rate hike next month. The hawkish monetary policy outlook strengthened the dollar and intensified selling pressure on gold and gold-linked equities. The entire precious metals mining sector saw broad-based weakness, with Wheaton Precious Metals down 3.74%, Coeur Mining down 3.34%, Pan American Silver down 3.17%, Barrick Mining down 2.61%, and Newmont Mining down 2.58%.
Additionally, Agnico Eagle Mines faces company-specific headwinds. The company's Q2 results, reported in late July, showed adjusted EPS of $3.05, missing the consensus estimate of $3.27 by 6.73%, while revenue of $3.803 billion also fell short of the $3.851 billion estimate. Earlier in July, the company suspended mining operations at the Barnat open pit due to a rock mass movement, guiding full-year production toward the lower end of its 3.3–3.5 million ounce range.
