作为 Ritholtz Wealth Management 的管理合伙人和研究总监，Michael Batnick 是一位知名的投资专家和播客主持人。
Michael Batnick：过去金矿公司管理不善，但现在情况大不相同，他们吸取了教训，管理和资本配置决策有所改善。虽然过去金矿公司在金价上涨时表现不佳，下跌时损失更多，但2025年至今的情况有所不同，金矿公司似乎已经吸取了过去的教训。
Imaru Casanova：过去金矿公司为了扩大规模而承担债务和购买不应购买的资产，导致价值被破坏。现在，新的管理层已经转型，不再追求为了增长而增长，而是关注每股增长、估值、延长矿山寿命、降低成本和提高利润率。金矿公司目前产生大量现金，关键在于如何进行资本配置，希望公司以一种有纪律的方式使用现金，并以股票回购和股息的形式返还给股东。作为股东，我希望公司在进行收购时保持自律，不要降低投资组合的质量。
