Analysts have maintained a positive outlook, with four firms upgrading their ratings in recent months. UBS Group raised its recommendation to “strong-buy,” while Stifel Nicolaus and National Bankshares increased price targets. Despite mixed short-term technical indicators—such as overbought conditions and a beta of 0.54—the stock remains in a multiyear uptrend. Its 52-week performance shows a 137% gain since late 2024, outpacing broader market movements.

The company announced a quarterly dividend of $0.03, payable on Sept. 4, with a 0.4% yield. This follows a cost increase in Q2 2025, where all-in-sustaining costs rose to $1,074 per ounce. Operations remain focused on the Americas, West Africa, and Russia, with 59 million silver reserves and 30 million gold reserves as of 2020.

Backtested results show KGC gained 32.39% from Aug. 1 to Sept. 2, 2025, and 137.39% year-to-date. The stock’s 50-day average of $23.62 and 200-day average of $20.51 highlight strong momentum despite recent volatility.
