Amerigo Resources Ltd. (ARG:TSX)
ARG is focused on returning capital to shareholders via its 2.3% dividend yield and share buybacks. ARG has returned >C$0.60/share to shareholders via dividends and buybacks since 2021. With minimal capex requirements, ARG is set up to continue rewarding shareholders by paying down debt, issuing dividends (plus performance dividends), and buying back stock.
ARG’s cashflow is highly leveraged to the copper price, which we are bullish on over the coming years. As per its 2026 guidance, each $0.20/lb increase in the copper price would increase EBITDA by $4.2M
Amerigo has a strong shareholder base with institutions and family offices owning 34%, management and the board owning 14%, and retail investors owning the remaining 52%.
