The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Jan. 30, edition that Centerra Gold has shown good momentum in the last five months. The Globe's guest columnist Gary Christie writes in the Number Cruncher column that topping his list is Centerra Gold, a Canadian gold producer with operations in North America and Turkey. Centerra has a $5.5-billion market cap. With a price-to-earnings ratio of 12.39, a 1.03-per-cent dividend yield and a strong one-year return of 208.9 per cent. Endeavour Mining stands out as a West Africa-focused gold producer operating a portfolio of large-scale mines with a $20.5-billion market cap. Barrick Mining also features prominently as one of the world's largest gold producers with a $121.3-billion market cap, making it the largest company in Mr. Christie's coverage. Barrick combines scale with momentum, delivering a one-year return of 212.2 per cent. While most of Mr. Christie's top-ranked names come from the metals and mining industry, George Weston offers exposure outside the commodity space through its retail and food distribution businesses, including Loblaw. The company carries a $36.8-billion market cap. Shares are up 1.7 per cent year-to-date and 29.6 per cent over the past year.
