The BEST 4 Gold Mining Stocks With High Growth Potential

Gold is on the move once again. No, it's not back to the January highs of 5,600 just yet, but it's nicely off the recent lows. So, yeah, you could buy physical gold, but in general gold mining stocks typically offer two to three times more upside potential over the underlying metal. So, today's video is about find the best gold mining stocks to buy now. I started my journey by doing a deep dive analysis of 46 different gold mining stocks. Each was reviewed under the microscope of the Zen Ratings Quant Model. The end result was finding four gold miners who could stand head and shoulders up above the rest. Let's start with a name that's already on the move in Aris Mining with the symbol of ARIS. This is a gold producer primarily focused in Colombia. Before we get too far along in the video, I should probably tell you who I am. My name is Steve Wrightmeister, but everyone calls me Righty. I've been investing for over 40 years and currently a partner of wallstreetzen.com. Now, our claim to fame is the Zen Ratings Quant Model. It helps identify the stocks most likely to outperform. And if you like discovering timely stocks, then do yourself a favor and hit that like button. It tells YouTube that you want to see more videos like this in the future. Let's get back to the bull case for Aris. Okay, here's what I like the most about this stock. Even as gold prices came down from their highs, they were still able to produce surprising earnings growth. The main reason is the production expansion is some of their minds that will only point to more explosive growth as the rebound in gold prices likely continues. Some folks are going to point out how much shares are up in the past year as a reason to take a pass on this investment, but that would be totally overlooking the value story that still exist. Here we are talking about an ultra low forward PE of just nine. That is about 50% below the average PE these days, which shows a lot of the upside potential in these shares just based upon the value. Right now, Wall Street is sitting these shares out. When that research is not available in a stock, then I solely rely upon the insights from the Zen Ratings Quant Model. Right now, Aris earns a B rating, which amounts to a buy recommendation. That's because it ranks in the top 9% of all stocks that we review, and here again, we look at 4,600 different stocks in total through the Quant Ratings model. All in all, our Zen Ratings reviews every stock by 115 different fundamental, technical, and AI factors. That then gets boiled down into the letter grade of A through F. Indeed, the higher the grade, the higher the expected results for shares. Those 115 factors are further compiled into seven underlying component grades, so you can see how a stock ranks in key areas like value growth sentiment momentum and more. There are two standout component grades for Aris, starting with its top 13% showing for value. This is not just about the forward PE, but 21 different measures of value. As we take a look at a momentum, that's in the top 11% of all shares. Rarely does value and momentum go together, and it's very attractive when they go hand in hand, like it does with these shares. Safety is the weak spot for Aris, but that is going to be the case for all the gold mining stocks we talk about today, given the volatility in gold prices. Let's be honest, every gold miner will rise if gold prices keep climbing, but someone like Aris ramping up production while also being currently a value stock is much, much more likely to outperform the pack. This makes it the perfect stock to start our gold mining review today.

I'm talking about SSR Mining with a symbol of SSRM. This is a gold and silver producer with mines across the US, Canada, Argentina, and Turkey. The key to this story is appreciating the turnaround taking place that could greatly improve the results in the future. Turnarounds are some of the best opportunities to enjoy outsized results because they usually combined exceptional growth with tremendous value. So, let's see how they score on both of these important fronts. Now, Wall Street analysts currently forecast their earnings will grow three times faster than industry average. So, that helps prove out the growth side of the equation. As for value, that shows up loud and clear in the ultra-low PEG ratio of only 0.53. Please remember that the average stock has a PEG ratio of about 1.5, which proves that SSR is a very attractively and under valued shares at this time. Like I said at the start of the story, they are enjoying the best Wall Street support of any stock in the video today. Not only is every covering analyst pounding the table with buy or strong buy recommendations, but also their fair value price targets point to ample share price upside in the months and years ahead. Like the last pick, SSR earns a solid B grade from the Zen Financials is even better in the top 8%, which is very unusual for a mining stock. Financials is one of the tougher things to accomplish. And the standout grade, as it should be for this video, is top 5% for value. That's top 5% of all 4,600 stocks analyzed by our Zen Ratings model. Sentiment is the clear weak spot with this stock. That is partly about the extended soft patch for gold prices, plus a slew of investors got scared off these shares back in 2024. That's when their Çöpler mine in Turkey had a disaster leading to the death of nine people. This was followed by an extended mine closure, and many investors just moved on to other stocks. Turnarounds, by their very nature, always a bit riskier. But with that comes outsize reward potential as well. That's why it's good to know about their strong Wall Street support and positive review from the Zen Ratings Quant Model. This combination helps improve the odds of future outperformance.

Now, moving on to our third gold mining stock today, and I'll be honest, it's my least favorite in the video today, but that doesn't mean I don't like it. Also, other investors are starting to take a shine to these shares given a 25% gain the past month alone. Okay, let's take a step back. We're talking about OceanaGold with a symbol of OGC with mines across the US, New Zealand, and the Philippines. Global footprint helps diversify away some of the geopolitical risk that can jump up and surprise miners from time to time. The reason the stock is spiking right now is their impressive quarterly results showing 55% revenue growth leading to 140% earnings growth year over year. Gladly, even with the recent gains, it still appears that shares are on the cheap side as they only trade for seven times forward earnings. Right, though the previous two picks ago we talked about nine times forward earnings. Seven, yes, clearly very cheap. The reason that OceanaGold is my least favorite stock today is because it scores the lowest in the Zen Ratings quant model of the four stocks we are going to talk about. Yes, it's still be rated, but in this case, it's only in the top 17% of all stocks. The problem is it's a bit too close to C-rated territory, which starts at the 20% line. If I didn't like the stock, I wouldn't highlight it. I'm just trying to be honest about my feelings on the company, and I just want you to know that straight up. The component grade shows off some impressive strengths including top 15% for momentum and top 7% for AI factor grade. Both of these point to these being very timely shares. Financial strength is in the top 5%, and the standout grade is the top 2% showing for value, and this is based upon 21 different measures of value. Like all the gold miners, it gets dinged for safety because gold prices are going to be volatile, but also the sentiment score is in the bottom 14% of all stocks. OceanaGold has the growth, and has the value that is finally attracting investors to shares. I just want to see that sentiment score perk up just a little bit before fully endorsing these shares like I am with the others. So, let's say this is my watch list pick of the group. Gladly, I have one more buy selection coming up for you next. Before I get to that last gold stock, just one quick thing.

I can be patient and wait for you. Then, I look forward to seeing you there on Monday. Let's close out this video strong with Fortuna Mining with a symbol of FSM. This is the highest graded name I'm going to show you today and it closes out the list for good reason. Fortuna is a precious and base metals miner with operations spread across Latin America and West Africa. That means they're involved with gold and silver across a handful of countries, which gives it more diversification than a single mine or a single country story, which is often the case with gold miners. The benefit of their approach shows up with robust earnings growth of 140% year-over-year. Yes, a lot of that is from the higher metals pricing, but gladly, it is also coming from an increase in production. Just like some of the other miners, it is nicely combining that growth with still attractive value. That best shows up in the rock-bottom PEG ratio of 0.55. Yet, as I will show you, that value score comes up quite nicely as we take a look at the Zen Ratings component grades. As for the overall Zen Ratings, this is the highest graded stock in the video today, ranking the top 7% of all stocks after that full 115 factor review. Our A ratings are reserved for only the top 5% of stocks. So, Fortuna is knocking on the door of that elite territory, which is why it's such a compelling investment choice. Let's walk through the component grades because the strengths stack up very nicely here. Growth comes in the top 23% of all stocks tracked. This is based upon 22 different measures of growth. The AI grade is even better in the top 17%. This is about our usage of AI to find the most timely stocks. Financial strength is even better in the top 4% of all stocks and the standout grade as I shared before is value in the top 3%. Growth plus value plus timeliness always has been and always will be an attractive quality for any stock. Of course, it's not without its risks. Safety and sentiment are weak spots just like some of the other gold miners we talked about. But really, the main risk for all four of these stocks is what happens to the gold prices. No one has a crystal ball on this front, but the vast majority of major brokerage firms predict prices will climb back above 5,000 and probably testing those all-time highs once again in the year ahead. A rising gold price will obviously be the greatest catalyst for these gold miners. The Zen Rings helps us appreciate which of these are the most well-run operators in the space and those are the folks most likely to outperform the pack. Again, Fortuna scores the highest from that full 115 factor review the Zen Rings, which makes it the perfect stock to close out our gold miner discussion today. This is a good time to remind you the Zen Rings are updated every single day on our quote pages at wallstreetzen.com. That's a good habit to check the ratings for these stocks or any others before making any buy hold sell decisions. So now is a good time to bookmark the site for all your future stock research needs.
