Who benefits most from a weak CAD?

by December 23, 2024
written by December 23, 2024

Investing.com — Bank of America analysts highlighted several North American precious metals companies poised to benefit from the recent depreciation of the Canadian dollar (CAD) against the U.S. dollar (USD). 

Key beneficiaries include Agnico Eagle (NYSE:AEM) Mines, Alamos Gold (NYSE:AGI), IAMGOLD (NYSE:IAG), and New Gold (NYSE:NGD), which have a significant proportion of their assets located in Canada, according to the bank.

“The benefit to costs of a depreciating CAD can be material,” BofA analysts stated. 

These companies are said to be particularly well-positioned because a weaker CAD reduces their operating and capital costs when converted to USD, the reporting currency. 

BofA explains that a 10% depreciation in the CAD drives projected NAV increases of 11% for AEM, 15% for AGI and IAG, and 13% for NGD. Centerra Gold also stands to gain from similar dynamics.

The CAD has declined 16% since its peak in June 2021 and is now trading near levels last seen during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. Year-to-date, the CAD has fallen 8%, with a 6% decline in the current quarter alone. 

BofA attributes this weakness to factors such as fiscal deterioration in Canada, high private debt levels, and the Bank of Canada’s faster pace of interest rate cuts compared to the U.S. Federal Reserve. 

Additionally, they state that the potential for 25% tariffs on Canadian exports to the U.S. could exacerbate downward pressure on the currency.

The environment is also said to open opportunities for companies like Triple Flag Precious Metals, which recently expanded into the lithium market. 

BofA considers the timing favorable, as lithium prices are expected to recover by 2026. Although the move modestly impacts TFPM’s NAV, the firm maintains a Buy rating on TFPM, citing its undervaluation compared to senior peers.

As the CAD continues its decline, companies with strong Canadian exposure remain positioned for gains.
