Gold stocks are shares of companies involved in the gold industry, including miners, explorers, processors, and royalty/streaming firms that derive most of their revenue from gold. They give investors leveraged exposure to movements in the gold price and to company-specific and operational risks, so they can act as a hedge or speculative play on gold but tend to be more volatile than owning physical gold or broad-market funds.
