What the numbers say

CleaRank Financial AI's reading of KGC's valuation, growth and risks.

Valuation

KGC's P/E of 9.54 is 68.4% below the 30.2 median P/E of Basic Materials stocks, a discount to peers. The P/S of 3.34 is 20.5% below the sector median P/S of 4.2. Trailing earnings stand at $2.50 per share.

In the latest year 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 0.62% ($0.15 a share a year) round out the fundamentals.

Earnings & Growth

KGC beat expectations in the February 18, 2026 report, with EPS of $0.67 against an estimate of $0.55, a beat by 21.82%. The share price nonetheless fell 3.21% in the first session after the report.

Analysts expect EPS of $2.48 for this fiscal year and $2.78 for the next one. For the current year, that is expected growth of 34.7%.

Key risks

KGC's usual daily swing is about 3.23%. For as long as the price stays beneath both moving averages, the downtrend remains a risk in its own right. The price is 38.58% below the 52-week high of $39.11.

What the AI sees

KGC is in a downtrend: both moving averages sit above the price. At $24.02, the stock trades 12.73% below its 50-day average of $27.52 and 17.79% below its 200-day average of $29.22. Within its 52-week range the price sits at 12%, 9.68% above the 52-week low of $21.90. The 50-day average is 5.79% below the 200-day, a gap that supports the weak trend rather than undercutting it.

The short and long run point different ways: the price fell 13.66% over the past month, rose 6.42% over the past three months and fell 12.91% over the past year. On momentum, the 14-day RSI reads 43.0, in the neutral zone, with the MACD line negative.

ProTips
  1. Two levels matter most right now: the 20-day EMA at $24.60, which sits above the price, and the 52-week low at $21.90, which sits below it.
  2. The 14-day RSI reads 43.0, which is neutral, and the MACD line is negative. Readings above 70 or below 30 would signal stretched momentum.
  3. In the first session after the February 18, 2026 report, the share price dropped 3.21%.
Market outlook

KGC stays in a downtrend while it trades below both its 50-day average of $27.52 and its 200-day average of $29.22. A close back above the 50-day average would be the first sign of repair. Overhead, the 20-day EMA at $24.60 is the first hurdle.

The next level below the price is the 52-week low of $21.90. The 14-day RSI of 43.0 sits in the neutral band, between 40 and 60.
