Raymond James Upgrades Alamos Gold On Valuation


27% profit every 20 days?

This is what Nic Chahine averages with his option buys. Not selling covered calls or spreads… BUYING options. Most traders don’t even have a winning percentage of 27% buying options. He has an 83% win rate. Here’s how he does it.


In a report issued Friday, Raymond James analysts Phil Russo and Luc Troiani upgrade shares of Alamos Gold Inc (NYSE: AGI) to Outperform (from Market Perform) on an attractive valuation, but lower their target price to from $8.00 to $6.00. The new price target implies an upside potential of almost 100 percent.

After the company closed the merger with AuRico Gold Inc (NYSE: AUQ) on July 2, the firm felt investors would be better of on the sidelines regarding Alamos. This conservative view was motivated by “uncertainty related to its Turkish assets, Mulatos currently being short of steady-state momentum and with the inclusion of Young Davidson’s ramp-up in the portfolio, as well as, critically, its relative fair-valued pro-forma valuation at the time.”

In a previous note, the firm had noted that, “all of these concerns should, conceivably, be overcome with time, at which point we suspect the stock will have several compelling attributes to offer the incremental investor.”

Since that moment, Alamos’ stock fell –unjustifiably- about 46 percent in two week, versus gold, at 7 percent, and the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSEARCA:GDX), which lost 21 percent. So, now trading at a much more attractive valuation, the analysts believe “investors today will benefit in adding positions in Alamos at current levels where the risk/reward profile has swung in their favor.”
