Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Solid FCF and a debt-free balance sheet reduce financial risk; dividends and buybacks enhance equity value. NYSE listing adds liquidity, potentially narrowing discount to peers; guidance unchanged but H2 uplift could surprise on the upside. Historically, such fundamentals tend to push TSX-listed gold names higher on duration, especially when capital returns are increased.
