Buenaventura Mining BVN
Compañía de Minas Buenaventura is a diversified Peruvian miner that explores, develops, and operates gold, silver, copper, and other precious and base metal mines, with stakes in key projects such as San Gabriel. Buenaventura shows solid fundamentals with a ROE of 27.82%, operating margin of 41.85%, and net cash (ND/EBITDA -0.06), but the 160% earnings growth reflects a possible cycle peak in precious metals, and the gold price decline adds pressure. The valuation (P/E 7.52) is attractive if the business holds up.
