Alternative ways to invest in Barrick Gold

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Barrick Gold), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

Barrick Gold is a major part of the NYSE, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is Barrick Gold under- or over-valued?

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Barrick Gold P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA

Barrick Gold's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 591x. In other words, Barrick Gold shares trade at around 591x recent earnings.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of November 10, 2023 (20.44). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

However, Barrick Gold's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.

Barrick Gold's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 10.07. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value given the current rate of growth.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Barrick Gold's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

However, it's sensible to consider Barrick Gold's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.

    Barrick Gold's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $5.6 billion (£4.4 billion).

    The EBITDA is a measure of a Barrick Gold's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

    To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
