Taseko Mines, a North American copper producer with assets including the Gibraltar Mine and the developing Florence Copper project, showed strong fundamentals when InvestingPro’s models flagged it as undervalued. At the time, the company reported annual revenue of $425.5 million and positive earnings per share of $0.12, despite experiencing volatile trading in the preceding months.
When InvestingPro’s Fair Value model identified TGB at $1.89 per share, it projected an upside potential of 59%. The stock has since surpassed these expectations, reaching $3.51, driven by improving operational performance and strategic developments. The company’s expansion projects, particularly the Florence Copper project’s progress toward 2025 production, have contributed to this success.
