Q: I currently have 4200 shares in Kinross which I purchased a couple of years ago at $12.71. Your overall thoughts on this company would be appreciated.
Any other possibilities that I should consider?
Thanks so much.

5i Research Answer:
We think K is an OK solid miner and recent quarterly results were strong. The company does have decently high debt with a net debt balance of $1.8B, but debt/equity ratio is only 0.36x which makes us less concerned. Free cash flows have been rising over the last few years and revenues have been growing quite nicely as well. We think it is still worth it to hold onto K given the company's progress in its drilling campaign and the recent strength of gold. It has had some issues in the past with mines but these have been largely cleared up. It also had some Russian exposure but these assets were sold in 2022.
