Canaccord Genuity kept both their $15.00 price target and hold rating steady, but revised their 2021 and 2022 estimates off the back of Eldorado’s second quarter results. They say, “overall, we view the quarter as largely in line, with Eldorado pre-releasing gold production earlier in the quarter.” The only number that deviated from Canaccord’s estimate was EBITDA, which came in at $103 million, below their $113 million estimate.
