Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd.
Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (AEM) is a Canadian mining company focused mainly on gold. It is the third-largest gold producer in the world, with operations not only in Canada but also in Australia, Finland, and Mexico.
For fiscal year 2025, Agnico Eagle expects to produce between 3.3 million and 3.5 million ounces of gold. And based on recent results, the company may be on track to top that target. In the first six months of the year alone, Agnico Eagle achieved 51% of its full-year production guidance.
During the second quarter, earnings soared 81.3% year-over-year to $1.94 per share. Analysts expected adjusted earnings of $1.80 per share, so Agnico Eagle Mines posted a 7.8% earnings surprise. Revenue of $2.82 billion beat estimates for $2.7 billion.
In the wake of the strong second-quarter results, analysts have increased third-quarter earnings estimates by 19.2% in the past three months. Third-quarter earnings are now forecast to grow 63.2% year-over-year to $1.86 per share. AEM is a Conservative buy below $154.

Elbit Systems Ltd.
Elbit Systems Ltd. (ESLT) is an Israeli defense contractor with a broad portfolio of advanced systems and solutions. Its offerings span ground forces, air and space missions, cybersecurity, networked warfare, homeland security, autonomous technologies, and naval applications. With rising geopolitical tensions – especially in the Middle East – demand for Elbit’s systems is expected to remain strong.
That demand is clear in its backlog. In the second quarter, Elbit reported a record $23.8 billion in orders. Notably, about 68% of that backlog came from customers outside of Israel.
Total second-quarter revenue increased 21.3% year-over-year to $1.97 billion, while earnings jumped 62.9% year-over-year to $151 million, or $3.23 per share. The consensus estimate called for earnings of $2.57 per share, so Elbit Systems posted a 25.7% earnings surprise.
For the third quarter, analysts expect earnings to rise 23.5% year-over-year to $2.73 per share and for revenue to grow 15.5% year-over-year to $1.98 billion. Analysts have increased earnings estimates over the past month, so a quarterly earnings surprise is likely. ESLT is a Conservative buy below $516.
