-- BMOキャピタル・マーケッツは水曜日、エルドラド・ゴールド（ELD.TO、EGO）がフォラン・マイニングの買収を完了したことを受け、同社の株価分析を「アウトパフォーム」とし、目標株価を82.00カナダドルに引き下げて、カバレッジを再開した。 BMOによると、今回の買収により、サスカチュワン州のマキルヴェナ・ベイ・プロジェクトがエルドラドのポートフォリオに加わり、地域的および商品的リスクの分散化が図られるとともに、2030年までに年間約100万オンスの金換算生産を目指すエルドラドにとって明確な道筋が示される。 BMOは「特に商品価格が高止まりすれば、今回の買収はフリーキャッシュフローの創出にもつながる可能性がある」と述べている。
