Always remember that past performance does not guarantee future results. Investments can go up and down in value.
We used Finder’s proprietary algorithm to identify the best gold stocks and silver stock listed on the TSX based on price, performance, profit, revenue and dividends. Our fundamental analysis filters stocks by taking into account historical prices, dividends, revenue growth, (low) price volatility and profit margins.
To avoid smaller, more speculative stocks, we only include companies with a market cap of more than CAD $200 million. In order to better compare historical data, we filtered out stocks that have been listed for less than five years.
We do not guarantee the performance or returns of any investment. Our methodology might filter out some good stocks, so our decision to include or exclude a stock from this list does not indicate whether it’s a good or bad investment.
