BMO Capital Markets on Tuesday maintained its outperform rating on the shares of B2Gold (BTO.TO, BTG) while lowering its price target to C$7.00 from an undisclosed prior level following fourth-quarter production results from the company.
" B2Gold reported Q4/24 production of 186koz, in-line with our estimate (BMOe: 185.6koz koz) but missed consensus estimates (cons: 204.6koz). On an annual basis, BTO produced 804.8koz which met the lower end of revised annual guidance (800-870koz). BTO's 2025 production guide was slightly below our estimates, however costs were significantly higher than expectations. At Goose, the company reaffirmed the timeline to first gold and CapEx estimates of C$1,540M. Lastly, the company reduced its dividend going forward. We lower our target price to $7.00 and maintain our Outperform rating," analyst Brian Quast noted.
