After being bruised throughout the year in 2022, the global stock markets are anticipating a turnaround in 2023. However, nothing can be predicted as of now because the conditions that propelled volatility last year persist.

The fastest inflation in decades, the central bank’s tight monetary policies, and a slowing economy adversely impacted the stock markets. Be it large-cap, mid-cap, or penny stocks, every sector and the stock was affected in 2022.

Here, we look at two TSX mid-cap stocks and their performances in the latest quarters:

Lundin Gold Inc. (TSX: LUG) Lundin Gold Inc. is a gold operation and developing company based in Canada. Its main portfolio includes Fruta del Norte gold exploration. The company has a dividend yield of 3.641 per cent and paid a semi-annual dividend of C$ 0.258.

Lundin posted an income of C$ 83.9 million from mining operations in the third quarter of 2022. In Q3 2022, the company reported a cash flow of C$ 105 million from operations.

Meanwhile, the net income was C$ 62.67 million compared to C$ 56.67 million in Q3 2021.
