What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of KGC's valuation, growth and risks.
KGC is valued at a discount to peers. Its P/E of 8.75 is 71.0% below the 30.2 median P/E of Basic Materials stocks. Measured on sales, its P/S of 3.22 is 23.3% below the sector median P/S of 4.2. Trailing earnings stand at $2.63 per share.
In the most recent available quarter, against the same quarter a year earlier, revenue grew 29.50%, 10.5 percentage points faster than the sector median of 19.0%. Margins stand at a net margin of 37.52% and an operating margin of 52.48%. It generates a return on equity of 36.99%, above the sector median of 17.9%. Debt-to-equity of 0.08 and a trailing dividend yield of 0.65% ($0.15 a share a year) round out the fundamentals.
EPS came in at $0.44 against an estimate of $0.39. In the first session after the report, the share price moved up 7.12%.
For this fiscal year the consensus EPS estimate is $2.44, an expected change of 32.5%. For next year analysts forecast $2.68.
KGC typically moves about 3.27% on a given day, and its beta against the S&P 500 is 1.52. The downtrend adds risk for as long as the price remains beneath both moving averages. The price is also 41.19% under its 52-week high of $39.11.

CleaRank Financial AI analysis of KGC
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
Both moving averages sit above the price, the shape of a downtrend for KGC: the price of $23.00 is 14.57% below the 50-day average ($26.92) and 20.64% below the 200-day average ($28.98). At 7% of its 52-week range, the price is 5.41% above the 52-week low of $21.82. The 50-day average sits 7.10% below the 200-day, which confirms the weakness rather than contradicting it.
A recent pullback sits inside a stronger longer record: the price fell 8.18% over the past month, fell 2.17% over the past three months and rose 0.97% over the past year. The price rose 2.68% in the last session on volume 30.6% below its average. On momentum, the 14-day RSI reads 40.6, in the neutral zone, with the MACD line negative.

- Two levels matter most right now. The 20-day EMA at $23.79 sits above the price, and the 52-week low at $21.82 sits below it.
- A 14-day RSI of 40.6 is neutral, and the MACD line is negative. Readings above 70 or below 30 would signal stretched momentum.
KGC stays in a downtrend while it trades below both its 50-day average of $26.92 and its 200-day average of $28.98. A close back above the 50-day average would be the first sign of a repair. The first hurdle overhead is the 20-day EMA at $23.79.
The next level below the price is the 52-week low at $21.82. The 14-day RSI sits at 40.6, which is neutral, in the 40 to 60 band.

Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in KGC, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 4-year Monte Carlo simulation, based on 10 years of price history, projects that a $10,000 investment in KGC today could grow to about $14,737 by 2030 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $48,957 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $4,436. The simulation models price only; at today's 0.65% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
KGC Stock Price Prediction 2030: Simulated Scenarios
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $33.90 for KGC by 2030 in the base case, from $23.00 today (1.5x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $10.20. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on KGC's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $13.90 | $25.34 | $46.19 | |
