AI CONVICTION THESIS

AIC Mines is an Australian copper producer that has agreed a roughly A$120M deal to buy the Mt Cuthbert copper project, which it describes as transformational for its growth pipeline. With copper near record highs, a producer adding resources has clear upside to the metal price, and share momentum is strong. But it is a small single-commodity miner whose value depends on copper prices and on developing new projects on time and on budget, not a durable competitive advantage.

SwingsVery bumpy

Swung more than 78% of stocks we rank over the past year (63% a year).

How this is worked out

What it measures: day-to-day price moves over the past year, as a yearly figure, ranked against every stock we cover. Very calm under 20% a year, Calm 20 to 30%, Average 30 to 40%, Bumpy 40 to 55%, Very bumpy above that.

What we found: across about 13,500 stocks in 34 markets (2002 to 2025), past swings were a good guide to the next year's, and bumpier stocks fell further. How much further changed too much between eras to put a number on it.

Calm is not safe: a calm stock can still slide steadily.

Rules fixed before any data was fetched. Describes the chart, not a recommendation.
