High-Growth Investments
Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd.
Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM), our Canadian gold mining company, continues to benefit from the surge in gold prices. In the first three months of 2025, gold prices have increased nearly 15% and are sitting near all-time highs. And gold prices are up about 38% in the past 12 months.
The fact is gold is considered a safe haven in times of economic uncertainty, and all of the uncertainty surrounding global central banks, the Trump 2.0 tariffs and slowing economic growth has driven many investors back to the yellow metal this year. And we don’t have to wait long to see how demand for gold and rising prices have added to Agnico Eagle Mines’ top and bottom lines.
Agnico Eagle Mines is scheduled to announce results for its first quarter in fiscal year 2025 on April 24. The analyst community expects first-quarter earnings of $1.14 per share and total revenue of $2.27 billion, which represents 21.6% year-over-year earnings growth and 24% year-over-year revenue growth.
The analyst community has also increased earnings estimates slightly in the past month. As you know, positive analyst revisions typically precede future earnings surprises. AEM is a Conservative buy below $118.

Argenx SE
Argenx SE (ARGX) is a biotechnology company that develops therapies to treat patients with autoimmune diseases like Myasthenia Gravis. The company has three indications of VYVGART for the treatment of Myasthenia Gravis, and strong demand for these treatments drove VYVGART sales 84% year-over-year to $2.19 billion in 2024.
And thanks to persistent demand for VYVGART, Argenx reported that the company’s total sales nearly doubled in fiscal year 2024. The company achieved total revenue of $2.52 billion in 2024, up from $1.27 billion in 2023.

In the near-term, the consensus estimate calls for first-quarter earnings of $1.92 per share and total sales of $748.22 million. That’s up from an earnings per share loss of $0.97 and sales of $383.84 million, in the first quarter of 2024. Analysts also continue to increase earnings estimates, which bodes well for another earnings surprise. ARGX is a Conservative buy below $635.

Recently, Howmet Aerospace noted an uptick in demand for parts that used to be manufactured at the SPS factory in Philadelphia, as production was halted there after a fire. Howmet Aerospace has the necessary certifications to manufacture some of these parts, and it is working diligently to meet customers’ demands.
Howmet Aerospace is also benefiting from increases in plane production at big airplane manufacturers like Boeing Co. (BA) and Airbus. Howmet Aerospace aims to help Boeing achieve its goal of 38 planes (737 MAX planes) per month.
So, it’s not too surprising that the analyst community has increased first-quarter earnings estimates over the past month.
