Wesdome Gold posted C$ 61.93 million in revenues in the latest quarter, relatively down from C$ 63.88 million recorded in the same quarter prior year. However, the higher cost of sales (C$ 51.37 million in Q2 2022 compared to C$ 29.77 million in Q2 2021) resulted in a reduced gross profit of C$ 10.55 million in the latest quarter of C$ 34.1 million in Q2 2021.

Kinross Gold noted metal sales worth US$ 821.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, high from US$ 707.9 million in the prior year's second quarter. However, the increased production cost of sale (US$ 450.8 million in Q2 2021 relative to US$ 331.8 million in the same quarter of 2021) led to lower operating earnings of US$ 64 million in the latest quarter, down from US$ 87.5 million a year ago.

Bottom line

With inflationary pressure on the focus, the central bank may continue to increase interest rates, thereby causing recession worries and affecting investment sentiments. However, gold stocks could expand investors' exposure to the yellow metal to weather such economic uncertainties.
