Pan African Resources shares trade at £1.11 after rising about 7x over the past five years and pulling back in recent weeks. Free cash flow over the last twelve months was about US$313.3 million, and analysts expect it to rise into the mid US$400 million range before easing as mine plans mature. A discounted cash flow estimate suggests intrinsic value is broadly in line with the current share price. The article also cites an 8.4x P/E as a different valuation view, based on earnings.

- Why Is Everyone Ignoring Zoom Stock's High Cash Yield?
Zoom Communications (ZM) generated free cash flow equal to 6.7% of its market value over the last twelve months, versus a median of 4.4% for S&P 500 companies, a yield the article says could signal either a deep discount or an expected shrinkage. Free cash flow rose to $1.9 billion from $1.1 billion three years earlier, with operating margin widening to 23.7% and debt of only $0.1 billion against $7.2 billion in cash and short-term investments. Revenue growth has trailed the S&P 500, averaging 3.8% a year over three years, and the Online segment is weak after its fiscal 2027 outlook was cut to flat. The Enterprise division grew 7.8% in fiscal Q2 2027, and Zoom raised its fiscal 2027 free cash flow forecast to $1.78–1.82 billion, below the trailing $1.9 billion. The article says the key metrics to watch are free cash flow and Online growth in the fiscal third quarter.
- Newmont Corporation (NEM) is Attracting Investor Attention: Here is What You Should Know
Newmont (NEM) is among the most-searched stocks on Zacks.com.

- The Bet Eldorado Gold Holders Made
Eldorado Gold shares returned 22.3% over the past year including dividends, even though late-2025 views were split: bulls pointed to the Skouries and Olympias projects, while bears flagged ESG pressure and geopolitical risk. At the start of the period the shares cost CA$36.72, with a bullish Fair Value of CA$41.05 and a bearish one of CA$28.97, the latter reflecting higher all-in sustaining costs of around $1,520 per ounce. Q2 2026 results showed revenue of US$487.456 million, net income of US$172.817 million and a net margin of 35.5% versus 30.8% a year earlier, favoring the optimistic case, though capex and project risk at Skouries and McIlvenna Bay kept caution alive. The shares now trade at CA$44.32, above the starting level, and the selected Narrative's Fair Value remains higher still. The article argues the story has shifted from gold output to a mix of copper growth projects and cash returns, so a smooth ramp-up at Skouries and McIlvenna Bay is key to the cash flow outlook.
- Emerald Resources And 2 Australian Growth Stocks To Watch
Global markets have been hit by a broad sell-off in AI stocks as investors question high costs and scarce capital. This Simply Wall St article highlights three Australian high-growth stocks with strong analyst and management conviction: Emerald Resources, Mesoblast and Pinnacle Investment Management Group. Emerald Resources, a Perth-based gold producer whose 100% owned Okvau Gold Project is in Cambodia, reported earnings up 196.3% over the past year, with a 42.4% net margin and a 14.7x P/E. Mesoblast develops cell-based regenerative therapies, and its Ryoncil is the first and only FDA-approved mesenchymal stromal cell product in the U.S. Pinnacle partners with boutique fund managers and generates about A$110 million from funds management, with roughly one-third of its A$229.4 billion in affiliate FUM sourced outside Australia.
- How Broker Downgrade Has Changed The Case For Agnico Eagle Stock
Freedom Broker downgraded Agnico Eagle Mines, citing operational risks at Canadian Malartic and Odyssey and trimmed earnings and EBITDA projections after revenue came in slightly below estimates. The broker noted the stock trades at a premium to peers, so any execution issues or cost inflation could weigh more heavily on profit expectations. The company, with long-life gold assets in Canada, Australia, Finland and Mexico, reports a return on equity of 20.5% and a net profit margin of 40.4%. Forecasts now point to declining earnings and revenue over the next three years, and the shares have fallen about 6% over one day and roughly 13% over the past month ahead of the October 28 earnings release. Some pessimistic analysts see revenue falling toward US$10.2b and earnings toward roughly US$4.8b by 2029, though those forecasts predate the downgrade.
- Can Iamgold Stock Jump 40%?
Iamgold (IAG) trades at 8.2 times earnings, versus 23.2 for the median S&P 500 company; it closed at $16.42 on October 22, 2026, and a 40% rise would take it to about $23. Revenue for the four quarters ended June 30, 2026 rose 87.2%, and the Cote operation generated $1.01 billion of revenue in fiscal 2025, up 256.8% from fiscal 2024. The operating margin for the four quarters ended June 30, 2026 was 47.5%, above a 31.3% average for the three twelve-month periods through June 2024, 2025 and 2026, though the article notes part of this margin depends on gold prices, with fiscal Q2 2026 gold sold at $4,384 an ounce. Since December 2025, Iamgold has repurchased about 28 million shares for $510.4 million, and at June 30, 2026 it held $0.502 billion in cash against $0.54 billion of debt. The article also notes revenue growth slowed to 47.5% in fiscal Q2 2026 from 115.9% in Q1, and 2026 production is expected to be 720,000 to 820,000 ounces.

Latest news
- Could the Fed surprise with its rate decision this week?
The Fed is expected to hold its policy rate at 3.75-4% at its 27-28/10 meeting, even though September CPI and PPI both rose more than forecast and inflation has made little progress back toward the 2% target. Chair Kevin Warsh gave no signal on 16/10 that would change market expectations, cutting the odds of an October hike to about 15%. Robert Kaplan of Goldman Sachs said doing nothing is the option with the fewest hurdles, while Claudia Sahm argued the Fed has enough reason to act this week. The 10-year Treasury yield, which topped 5.3%, the highest in 24 years, fell 0.19 percentage points to 4.95% on 22/10 as tech stocks were sold off. Fed officials remain divided, with Logan, Hammack and Kashkari having opposed the July decision to hold rates.
- Here's Exactly What Investors Should Look for From the Federal Reserve's October Meeting
The Fed will announce its rate decision at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, and the CME FedWatch tool puts a 90% probability on holding the target range at 3.75%-4%. The statement is expected to use language similar to September's, when the Fed raised rates by a quarter point and said inflation remains elevated, while productivity growth is strong. A report on September's consumer spending and personal income, due Thursday, will offer a fresh look at the inflation picture. Markets are pricing in another quarter-point increase in December. The author notes that rate moves tend to be short-lived for high-quality stocks, so investors whose holdings may be vulnerable to rate news may want to review those positions more closely.
- Russian Troops Land as Largest Operation Reaches Decisive Point: The Mystery Report to Putin on Medvezhy Ugol
Russian forces have crossed the Dnipro, landed on an island, and claimed control of the villages of Varvarovka and Nikolaevka, where Ukrainian troops still holding out would need to cover 17 km to escape encirclement. Military commentator Dmitry Degtyaryov said Ukrainian forces inside the pocket had been eliminated and called the operation Russia's most successful this year. According to Russian reports, the campaign, officially named 'Medvezhy Ugol', closed the encirclement within a month and a half, seized 28 settlements and cleared an area of 460 km². Russia also says it took Dobropolye, its third city captured this year after Belitskoye and Konstantinovka, along with Sergeyevka in the Mezhevaya direction, and its forces have moved into Belozyorskoye. During a visit to an auxiliary command post, Putin chaired a meeting on tasks for the autumn-winter period.
- CNBC's The China Connection newsletter: The 'cliff' beneath China's cities
The IMF has urged Beijing to spend more as growth is expected to slow to 4.5% this year and 4% in 2027, while augmented government debt reached about 126.6% of GDP last year. The pressure is mostly at local level, where land-sale income has more than halved since 2021 to 4.2 trillion yuan (about $590 billion), and combined fiscal spending fell 3.5% in the first eight months of the year. Nomura's Ting Lu calls this a 'true fiscal cliff', with urban fixed-asset investment down 7.2% in the first three quarters after a 3.8% fall last year. Beijing kept its official deficit target at about 4% of GDP, while the Institute of International Finance estimates the actual deficit could reach 9%. Hidden debt in local government financing vehicles fell to 6.5 trillion yuan last year from 14.3 trillion yuan in 2023, but many still lack cash flow to pay interest.

- Anthropic Just Filed to Go Public. Should You Buy the Stock?
Anthropic publicly filed its S-1 on Monday and is set to list next month, earning revenue from subscriptions and usage-based token fees, with its Claude Code platform cited as the key driver of growth. The filing's risk section runs more than 90 pages, ranging from the potential to 'destabilize the geopolitical order' to technology exceeding the ability of 'humans to understand and control.' Revenue reached $16.3 billion in the first half of 2026, about 14 times the same period a year earlier and three and a half times its full-year 2025 revenue. The $80.7 billion first-half net loss includes a non-cash accounting charge of $72.4 billion; excluding it, the net loss is $8.3 billion, the operating loss narrowed from $2.1 billion to $693 million, and Q2 posted a $974 million operating profit. The author says he will pass on the IPO, citing concerns that Anthropic may lack a durable moat as AI models become commodities, pressuring prices while the company keeps spending heavily on its next model.
