Gold Fields Ltd is not a good buy right now due to its current price of $34.59, which is significantly below its 200-day simple moving average of $42.987, indicating a bearish trend. Additionally, the RSI is at 31.048, suggesting the stock is oversold but may continue to decline. The forward P/E ratio is 8.0321, which is low but reflects the current market sentiment and risks surrounding the company. The main risk is the recent rejection of a $27 billion acquisition proposal by Northern Star Resources, which has negatively impacted investor confidence and led to a 20.59% year-to-date decline in the stock price.
