B2Gold (BTG) Looks Good: Stock Adds 5.1% in Session

Zacks Equity Research
Updated

B2Gold Corp. BTG was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise more than 5% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This stock, which remained volatile and traded within the range of $2.68–$2.95 in the past one-month time frame, witnessed a sharp increase yesterday.

The move came after the company reported solid first-quarter 2018 gold production and revenue figures.

The company's Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter has moved higher over the past few weeks, suggesting that more solid trading could be ahead for B2Gold. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.

B2Gold currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.
