- Caledonia Mining (CMCL) Cuts Blanket Guidance On A Fair Value Debate
Caledonia Mining (CMCL) cut its full-year 2026 gold production guidance for the Blanket Mine to 69,000 to 72,500 ounces after softer third-quarter output. The shares, at US$23.41, were down just under 3% over 7 and 30 days, but the 90-day return was up 28.2% and the 3-year total shareholder return rose 140.09%. One popular narrative sees fair value at $49.43 and the stock as undervalued, while the Simply Wall St DCF model puts fair value near $7.17 per share, framing the price as rich. The article says the debate hinges on Zimbabwe risk and whether the Bilboes project delivers as modeled.
- MERCURY RISING : A San Francisco Lab Says It Has Made Gold From Mercury as Bullion Slides to Its Lowest Since August . It Is the News Zimbabwe Gold Mafia Did Not Want to Hear
Gold fell 2.12% to settle at US$4,042.80 an ounce on Comex, its lowest close since early August, mainly on higher oil prices after attacks on shipping and Saudi oil facilities raised expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike in December. The same day, San Francisco start-up Marathon Fusion said it had turned mercury into gold and beat CERN's record by a factor of 10, but it has not disclosed the amount produced, its purity or its cost. The article says the process remains an engineering challenge that could take decades and may never pay, and that market reports attributed the drop to oil and interest rates rather than this news. It is especially relevant for Zimbabwe, where gold is the largest export: the state's sole licensed buyer, Fidelity Gold Refinery, took in 35.88 tonnes in the first nine months of the year, and gold export receipts reached about US$3.1 billion in the first half, up 72 percent.
- Buenaventura Mining Q3 Earnings Call Highlights
Buenaventura Mining (NYSE: BVN) reported third-quarter 2026 revenue up 27% to $545 million, EBITDA from direct operations up 34% to $261 million, and net income up 50% to $268 million. Free cash flow reached $242 million, the company held about $1 billion in cash, and the board approved an interim dividend of $0.5508 per share or ADS. Copper output rose 7% to 13,600 metric tons on higher El Brocal throughput, while gold fell 6% and silver fell 21%, with costs higher due to a more selective mining method and the shift to an owner-operated fleet. San Gabriel's ramp-up is constrained by filtered-tailings drying and compaction capacity rather than the processing plant, and the company aims to reach nameplate capacity by the end of 2028, with annual gold output projected at 110,000–120,000 ounces.
- What Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM) Said on Its Q3 Earnings Call
Agnico Eagle produced 814,000 ounces of gold in Q3 2026, generating $852 million in free cash flow and about $1.3 billion in adjusted net income, and reaffirmed its 2026 outlook, expecting production at the lower end and costs at the upper end of guidance amid higher diesel prices and supply-chain pressures. The company held about $3.4 billion in net cash and returned $478 million to shareholders, or 56% of free cash flow, and now expects full-year returns above 50% at current gold prices. It targets a 20%–30% production increase to more than 4 million ounces a year in the early to mid-2030s, with Odyssey on track for first production in Q2 2027. Management said about $1.6 billion in development capital has been invested year to date in projects expected to generate returns of roughly 25% to 50% at current spot gold prices.
- Buenaventura Announces Third Quarter and Nine-Month 2026 Results

- Boeing Stock Slumps Again; Time to Buy or Throw in the Towel?
Boeing shares fell again after management cut its outlook, with the 737 MAX production ramp-up delayed by up to a year and free cash flow (FCF) forecasts below consensus. FCF is projected at $2 billion in 2026, $3 billion in 2027, $6 billion in 2028 and $10 billion in 2029, versus Visible Alpha consensus of $5.3 billion, $9.5 billion and $12.4 billion for 2027–2029. The 777X certification, expected by mid-2027, followed by first delivery, is a major risk, as delays would keep more cash tied up in undelivered aircraft. The author estimates that if Boeing reaches $10 billion in FCF in 2029 and trades at 20 times FCF, the share price would be about $252, an annual return of 14.4% to 2029, and considers management's 2027–2029 production targets conservative. The author says the stock looks attractive after the reset if production targets are met, though volatility is likely, and points to a $745 billion backlog.
- 3 Numbers to Watch to Know if Meta Platforms' AI Spending Is Paying Off
Meta plans $135 billion to $145 billion in capital expenditures (capex) for 2026 on AI, while its Q3 2026 operating margin fell to 20% from 40% a year earlier and free cash flow was negative $2.1 billion. The article highlights three metrics: advertising revenue, which rose 25.9% year over year on 10% higher impressions and 14% higher pricing; the Muse AI agent, which reached 10 million monthly users in the U.S. and Canada about a month and a half after its September 8 launch, with 25% using it daily; and operating cash flow, which rose 21.7% over the first nine months of 2026 but lagged the 72% rise in capex. The author notes Meta plans to raise almost $100 billion in equity capital to fund its AI build-out, and says investors will need patience for the payoff.
- Alamos Gold's 2027 Outlook: Production Set to Jump as an $835 Million Expansion Wraps Up

The stock trades at $27.45, down 12% over the past year.

- Anthropic Intends to Trade on the Nasdaq Under the Ticker ANT
Anthropic has filed a prospectus for an IPO expected to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT, though it has not yet set a price. Its second-quarter revenue rose nearly 15-fold year over year to $11.6 billion, with 11,900 customers paying at least $100,000 and 1,900 paying at least $1 million. Operating income reached $974 million in Q2, reversing earlier quarterly losses, while the net loss widened to $66 billion due to a non-cash charge tied to some private fundraising rounds. The 94 pages of risk factors warn that AI models may act in unintended or misaligned ways, and also cover competition, compute costs and concentrated voting rights in management. The prospectus omits third-quarter results, and the IPO price is expected to be set after a roadshow with potential investors.
- 1 Great Number From Anthropic's IPO Prospectus and 1 Number That Disappointed
Anthropic has released its IPO prospectus, a filing of over 400 pages, ahead of an IPO that could raise $100 billion at a valuation of up to $2 trillion. On the positive side, revenue from outside its top five customers made up 79% of third-quarter revenue, no customer exceeded 10% of revenue in the nine months ended Sept. 30, and more than 11,900 customers spent over $100,000 in the trailing 12 months, accounting for 74% of revenue in the first half of 2026. The weaker figure is third-quarter revenue of roughly $16.9 billion, up about 47% from the second quarter, slower than the 144% growth seen in the second quarter versus the first. Some Wall Street analysts suggested growth may not be sufficient at the desired valuation, with Saxo Markets saying valuation will be the big debate, while D.A. Davidson attributed the slowdown to competition from frontier models such as OpenAI's and open-weight models rather than weaker broader AI demand.
- Home Depot Is Down 24% From Its High. Here's Why I'd Hold It for a Decade.
Home Depot, a blue chip home improvement retailer with more than 2,000 stores worldwide, has high profit margins and a high return on capital, but its shares are down 11% over the past five years, well behind the S&P 500 amid a weak housing market. The author still believes the stock is worth holding for the next decade, citing four reasons: its position as one of two dominant players alongside Lowe's, a focus on professional contractors including the SRS Distribution acquisition, a leadership position that faces little disruption from Amazon because many products are bulky, and an expected housing rebound given an estimated shortage of around 4 million homes. The company forecast a 12.5% operating margin, versus a historical level closer to 15%, and had a 25.7% return on invested capital in 2025.
