Margins as high as 75 percent make this the most profitable stretch in their history.

Analyst Garrett Goggin calls this the Golden Anomaly, a gap he says rarely lasts long once a gold bull market gets going.See the junior gold miners poised for a major buyout waveMEOHMethanex11/3/2025Lower Price Target$37.60$48.00Sector Outperform$0.0000.00% ROIMOSMosaic10/10/2025Downgrade$33.46$34.00Sector Perform$0.0000.00% ROILACLithium Americas10/6/2025Reiterated Rating$9.01$5.00Sector Underperform$0.0000.00% ROILACLithium Americas10/6/2025Reiterated Rating$8.47$5.00Sector Underperform$0.0000.00% ROILARLithium Americas (Argentina)8/13/2025Reiterated Rating$3.70$3.50Sector Perform$0.0000.00% ROILARLithium Americas (Argentina)8/12/2025Downgrade$3.46Hold$0.0000.00% ROINTRNutrien8/11/2025Lower Price Target$55.82$60.00Sector Perform$0.0000.00% ROICFCF Industries8/11/2025Reiterated Rating$82.76$82.00Sector Perform$0.0000.00% ROIMOSMosaic8/11/2025Lower Price Target$32.20$39.00Sector Outperform$0.0000.00% ROIMEOHMethanex8/5/2025Set Price Target$33.65$50.00Sector Outperform$00.0000.00% ROIALBAlbemarle8/1/2025Boost Price Target$67.94$70.00Sector Perform$000.0000.00% ROISQMSociedad Quimica y Minera5/30/2025Lower Price Target$30.79$45.00Sector Outperform$00.0000.00% ROILARLithium Americas (Argentina)5/20/2025Lower Price Target$1.92$3.00Sector Outperform$0.0000.00% ROINTRNutrien5/14/2025Reiterated Rating$58.05$62.00Sector Perform$00.0000.00% ROIMOSMosaic5/14/2025Boost Price Target$34.22$42.00Sector Outperform$00.0000.00% ROIALBAlbemarle5/6/2025Lower Price Target$57.72$65.00Sector Perform$000.0000.00% ROILACLithium Americas3/31/2025Lower Price Target$2.68$2.75Sector Perform$0.0000.00% ROIMOSMosaic3/19/2025Boost Price Target$27.82$34.00Sector Outperform$00.0000.00% ROILARLithium Americas (Argentina)3/19/2025Lower Price Target$2.46$3.50Sector Outperform$0.0000.00% ROIMEOHMethanex3/10/2025Downgrade$42.25$53.00Sector Perform$00.0000.00% ROIMOSMosaic3/3/2025Lower Price Target$24.24$31.00Sector Outperform$00.0000.00% ROINTRNutrien2/24/2025Boost Price Target$52.01$62.00Sector Outperform$00.0000.00% ROIWFGWest Fraser Timber2/18/2025Lower Price Target$80.40$100.00Sector Outperform$00.0000.00% ROIALBAlbemarle2/18/2025Lower Price Target$83.69$75.00Sector Perform$000.0000.00% ROINTRNutrien2/10/2025Boost Price Target$50.90$60.00Sector Outperform$00.0000.00% ROIWFGWest Fraser Timber2/3/2025Lower Price Target$83.70$109.00Sector Outperform$00.0000.00% ROIMEOHMethanex1/30/2025Boost Price Target$52.53$66.00Sector Outperform$00.0000.00% ROICFCF Industries1/24/2025Reiterated Rating$89.58$88.00Sector Underperform$00.0000.00% ROILACLithium Americas10/18/2024Lower Price Target$3.16$2.50Sector Perform$0.0000.00% ROI Stock Forecasts and Research Tools Today's Analyst Ratings U.S. Ratings U.K. Ratings Canadian Ratings All Upgrades All Downgrades All Initiations All Price Target Changes Top-Rated Stocks Top Rated Stocks Top-Rated Dividend Stocks Top-Rated Small-Cap Stocks Top-Rated Tech Stocks Most-Upgraded Stocks Most-Downgraded Stocks Lowest-Rated Stocks More Ratings Tools Stock Ratings by Issuer Top-Rated Analysts Top-Rated Brokerages Stock Ratings Screener Free Ratings Newsletter Price Forecasts for Popular Stocks Alphabet (Google) Stock ForecastAmazon Stock ForecastApple Stock ForecastMeta (Facebook) Stock ForecastMicrosoft Stock ForecastNetflix Stock ForecastNvidia Stock ForecastTesla Stock Forecast Top Stock Recommendations by BrokerageWall Street ZenUBS GroupCitigroupBarclaysRoyal Bank Of CanadaMorgan StanleyWells Fargo & CompanyJPMorgan Chase & Co.Jefferies Financial GroupThe Goldman Sachs GroupTD CowenTruist FinancialPiper SandlerDeutsche Bank AktiengesellschaftBMO Capital Markets Unlock superior investment research and tools.
