Here's an options trade to profit off a likely rebound in this gold mining stock

TL;DR

  • Newmont's stock price decline offers an opportunity for options investors with elevated premiums.
  • A bullish risk reversal trade is suggested: sell July $90 put, buy July $110 call, sell July $130 call for a net cost of ~$2.15.
  • This strategy profits if the stock moves towards $130, with a risk of buying shares at $90 if the stock falls.
  • Newmont's value is supported by its 'Tier-1' mines and the ongoing integration of Newcrest.
  • Mean reversion to its historical 15x cash flow multiple could lead to a 30% stock increase.
  • Potential risks include persistent inflation increasing labor and diesel costs, affecting all-in sustaining costs.
