In light of such a situation, it is entirely logical for investors to consider investing in some gold stocks, and here is a quick look at three of those.

One of the gold stocks that could be considered by investors at this point in time is that of Eldorado Gold Corp (NYSE:EGO). The company has been in business for a quarter of a century and owns five gold mines, which produced 395000 ounces of gold last year. In the fiscal second quarter this year, Eldorado managed to clock a rise in revenues largely due to higher sales and also higher gold prices.
Additionally, the earnings per share soared to $0.26 a share from a loss of $0.02 a share in the year-ago period. Cosmos Chiu, an analyst at CIBC is impressed with Eldorado’s performance and pointed out that it has managed to stick to its projections for 2020 so far. The company expects to generate 520000 to 550000 ounces of gold this year.

In addition to that, adjusted earnings for the period soared to $194 million. Due to the generation of considerable free cash flow, the company could now be in a position to restart paying out dividends as well and that is another important factor in favor of the Kinross stock.
Alamos Gold Inc (NYSE:AGI)
The third stock that could be added to the watch list is that of Alamos Gold Inc (NYSE:AGI), which boasts of a market cap of $4 billion and operates two mines in Mexico and Canada.
