High Performing Gold Stocks Surging!

The spot gold price is up over 30% over the last 12 months. The spot gold price has surged from $2,300 USD per ounce back in April 2024, to over $3,000 USD in April 2025. The continuing narrative on wars, inflation and interest rates has driven a risk-off environment at present, where gold thrives. Furthermore, discussions over tariffs have caused the yellow metal to surge higher.

Gold stocks account for 7 out of the top 10 ranked stocks in VectorVest as of 1 April 2025. No, this is no April fools’ joke. Gold is dominating at this point in the market cycle. Let’s take a closer look at the top VST gold stocks. In VectorVest, there is a powerful tool called Stock Viewer – it sorts all of the ASX stocks we track each day to ensure the stocks with the best combinations of fundamentals and techncials are at the top of the list.

Per the Stock Viewer as of 1 April 2025, 7 of the top ranked fundamental and technical stocks are in the Materials (Gold) Industry. The 7 stocks are as follows: RRL.AX, EVN.AX, OBM.AX, WAF.AX, GMD.AX, PRU.AX and GOR.AX.

The average of all of these stocks as of 1 April 2025 is as follows:

These 7 stocks are up over 19% from 3 March – 1 April 2025. Not surprisingly, Earnings Per Share (EPS) are rising as per the blue area in the graph above.  EPS looks at past earnings, current earnings and foretasted earnings.  It is an incredibly powerful indicator and a rising EPS is key!  The green line is the Value line, and the Price is per the candlestick graph. The average Price of the 7 gold stocks is well below the average Value across the 7 gold stocks.

The key question now is: will the spot gold price continue to rise? A rising spot gold price is one of the key drivers powering these stocks higher. Until inflation, interest rates and fears over tariffs are viewed in the rearview mirror rather than out the front windshield, chances are gold will continue to move up at least in the short-term.

No asset class remains top of the class forever. Gold is shining very brightly at present, but at some point, gold will make way for the next surging Industry/Sector. However, for now, key gold stocks stand out.
