The leading narrative on Agnico Eagle Mines compares a very large fair value estimate of $123,914 to the current $167.92 share price and still argues the stock is deeply undervalued. That big gap rests on an aggressive view of future cash generation and profitability that goes well beyond what the market is pricing today.
