IAMGOLD saw notable analyst and rating changes across several banks and research agencies in connection with DJE's activity, including RBC lowering its price objective to $20 with an outperform rating, Bank of America lowering to $21 with a buy rating, Scotiabank reducing to $22 with a sector‑perform rating, and Zacks Research and Weiss Ratings also adjusting their ratings.

Newmont Corporation (NEM) remains a core position for DJE: the fund cut its stake by 37.8% to 963,044 shares, about 2.3% of its portfolio and roughly the 15th largest holding, valued at approximately $102.476 million; overall, roughly 68.85% of Newmont is owned by hedge funds and other institutional investors.

Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM) was reduced by 4.1% to 503,088 shares, about 2.2% of DJE’s holdings and the 16th largest position, with the position valued at about $99.548 million; notable peers also loading up on AEM include Capital World Investors, Vanguard, Van ECK Associates, TD Asset Management and Mackenzie Financial, among others.

In the broader picture for Newmont and its peers, major institutions continued to hold or build stakes, with Vanguard, State Street, Van ECK, Geode, and Norges Bank among large players increasing or maintaining positions in Newmont; the substantial institutional ownership share underscores ongoing rebalancing in mining stocks beyond DJE’s activity.
DJE Kapital AG cut its stake in Iamgold (IAG) by 30.6% in the first quarter, selling 79,600 shares and leaving the firm with 180,200 shares worth about $3.275 million, according to Watchlist News. The move was part of a broader pullback by the German asset manager across several mining names.
DJE also trimmed its Newmont (NEM) position by 37.8% and its Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM) stake by 4.1%. Even after those cuts, Newmont remained DJE's largest of the three holdings — 963,044 shares valued at roughly $102.5 million.
DJE's Mining Pullback Goes Beyond Iamgold
The Iamgold trim was the sharpest of DJE's three mining reductions in percentage terms outside of Newmont. The firm sold 79,600 IAG shares, dropping from roughly 259,800 to 180,200. At current prices, the remaining stake is worth about $3.3 million, according to Watchlist News. That makes it a much smaller bet than either Newmont or Agnico Eagle.
Newmont, by contrast, stayed a core holding. DJE's 963,044 NEM shares make up about 2.3% of its total portfolio — roughly the 15th largest position. Agnico Eagle rounds out the trio at 503,088 shares worth about $99.5 million, sitting at around 2.2% of DJE's holdings and the 16th largest position.
Other Institutions Moved Into Iamgold as DJE Stepped Back
While DJE sold, others bought. Pin Oak Investment Advisors, Global Retirement Partners LLC, FNY Investment Advisers LLC, and LOM Asset Management all opened new IAG positions in recent quarters, according to Watchlist News. Banque Cantonale Vaudoise added 2,570 shares, bringing its total to 2,986 shares worth about $49,000.
The buying and selling reflect broad portfolio rebalancing across mining stocks. Institutional ownership of Iamgold hovers in the mid-40s percent range. That steady interest shows the stock still attracts external capital even as some managers trim their exposure.
Analysts Cut Iamgold Targets Alongside the Institutional Moves
Several banks updated their Iamgold views around the same period. RBC lowered its price target to $20 but kept an outperform rating. Bank of America cut its target to $21 and held a buy rating. Scotiabank reduced its target to $22 with a sector-perform rating. Zacks Research and Weiss Ratings also adjusted their views, according to Watchlist News.
The analyst cuts suggest some caution on near-term upside, even as the buy and outperform calls signal long-term confidence. A $20–$22 price target range gives investors a rough sense of where Wall Street sees fair value for the stock right now.
Big Funds Keep Buying Newmont and Agnico Eagle
DJE's cuts in Newmont and Agnico Eagle did not slow down other major players. Vanguard, State Street, Van ECK Associates, Geode Capital, and Norges Bank all increased or held large Newmont positions, according to Watchlist News. About 68.85% of Newmont is owned by hedge funds and institutional investors — a sign of deep market conviction.
For Agnico Eagle, Capital World Investors, Vanguard, TD Asset Management, and Mackenzie Financial were among the notable buyers. The pattern is consistent: DJE is lightening up while larger, diversified funds are doubling down on senior gold miners. That divergence in strategy could reflect different views on gold's near-term price path, according to Ticker Report.
