Mr. Market is currently offering Kinross Gold Corporation at $28.89.
The business passes 5 of 7 of Graham's defensive criteria — adequate but not exceptional.
At $28.89, the stock trades at a 63% premium to its Graham Number of $17.75. Graham would consider this price speculative.
There is no margin of safety at the current price. Graham would advise patience and waiting for a better entry point.
Negative NCAV — liabilities exceed current assets. Common in capital-return businesses (buybacks, debt-funded dividends) and capital-intensive industries. Not automatically a warning sign..
Conclusion: This stock is better suited for Graham's Enterprising investor — one willing to devote time and skill to security selection.
