Gold Fields: 4% Yielder With Leverage To Gold Prices

Gold Fields Limited (GFI) offers a rare combination of 4% yield, strong free cash flow, and high leverage to gold prices, trading at a steep valuation discount. GFI guides for 2.4–2.6 million ounces in 2026, with costs remaining elevated, but a clear path to 3 million ounces by 2030 and lower future AISC, via the Windfall project. The company's dividend policy targets a 35% payout of pre-growth FCF, with $750 million allocated to special dividends and buybacks over two years, supporting a 4%+ forward yield.
