Agnico Eagle's Gold Output Slides Despite 0.65% Rally as $310M Volume Drags It to 387th in Market Activity

On August 6, 2025, Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (AEM) recorded a trading volume of $0.31 billion, a 31.04% decline from the previous day, ranking it 387th in market activity. The stock rose 0.65% amid mixed production data and sector dynamics.

Agnico’s second-quarter gold output totaled 866,029 ounces, reflecting a 3% annual decline. Lower production at Meadowbank, Fosterville, and Canadian Malartic partially offset gains at Macassa and LaRonde. The company remains on track to achieve its 2025 target of 3.3–3.5 million ounces despite operational headwinds.

The strategy of purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day generated a 166.71% return from 2022 to the present, outperforming the benchmark by 137.53%. This highlights liquidity concentration’s role in short-term performance, particularly in volatile markets, though risks from rapid price swings remain significant.
