Cash flow per share (CFPS) also exceeded expectations at $0.48, compared to TD and consensus estimates of $0.39. The beat was attributed to higher gold production and lower costs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Strong Gold Production and Lower Costs:<\/strong> Gold production of 111,000 ounces exceeded expectations by 3%, while production costs of $746\/oz were 9% lower than estimated and below the guidance range of $800-$900\/oz. This robust performance reflects efficient operations and cost management by Centerra.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Healthy Free Cash Flow:<\/strong> Centerra generated $86 million in free cash flow (before working capital changes), comprising $104 million of operating cash flow (pre-working capital) and $18 million of capital expenditure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Solid Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Strong Financial Position:<\/strong> Centerra reported $648 million in cash with no debt as of Q1\/24, demonstrating a healthy balance sheet. Despite significant cash outflows expected in Q2 due to tax and royalty payments, Centerra remains well-positioned to meet its financial obligations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Active Share Repurchase Program:<\/strong> The company repurchased 1.8 million shares for $10 million in Q1\/24, underscoring its commitment to enhancing shareholder value. Centerra&#8217;s ongoing share buyback program, authorized until November 2024, reflects confidence in its future prospects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Guidance and Outlook:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Maintained Guidance:<\/strong> Centerra reaffirmed its guidance of 370,000-410,000 ounces of gold production at production costs of $800-$900\/oz. The strong performance in Q1, representing 28.5% of the annual production guidance midpoint, sets a positive tone for the remainder of the year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>CG Stock Forecast &amp; Analysis<\/h2>\n<p>Based on the Centerra Gold Inc stock forecast from 11 analysts, the average analyst target price for Centerra Gold Inc is CAD 10.69 over the next 12 months.
