Stifel Canada on Tuesday reiterated its buy rating on the shares of Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM.TO, AEM) and its C$350.00 price target following the miner's fourth-quarter results.
"Agnico reported in-line Q4/25 adjusted EBITDA/EPS of $2,509Mln/$2.69 on gold production of 841Koz, albeit at higher-than-expected cash costs and AISC of $1,089/oz and $1,517/oz, respectively. Q4/25 free cash flow of $1,310Mln was +3.1% vs. our $1,270Mln or $1,173/GEO (flat QoQ ex-working capital) vs. +20% QoQ increase in gold price. LaRonde delivered the most impressive operational beat in 2025, exceeding the production midpoint by +11.2% (and 15.2% below cost guidance). Agnico's stable 3Yr production outlook of 3.3-3.5Moz through 2028 remains defined by a high-execution phase at its core Canadian assets-specifically the Odyssey underground ramp-up at Canadian Malartic and the 28Mtpa mill optimization at Detour Lake, albeit at slower-than-planned progress around historical underground workings, which results in a relatively modest 20Koz downward revision for Detour Lake 2026 and 2027 guidance," analyst Ralph Profiti wrote.
