Barrick sets November 9 for third-quarter results before market open
Key Facts
Mining company Barrick set November 9, 2026, to report its third-quarter results before market open, putting the official release date on investors’ calendars after claims circulated that earnings and revenue had topped expectations. The company’s official schedule says it will publish results at 6:00 a.m. U.S. Eastern time. The date also includes a webcast and presentation on the same day. The results will therefore be released after this article’s publication date of November 6. Until then, third-quarter results remain officially unreported.
Second-quarter results provide the latest published picture of the company’s performance ahead of the third-quarter announcement. Gold production was 796,000 ounces, above the guidance range of 730,000–770,000 ounces. Barrick attributed the increase to the earlier-than-scheduled resumption of operations at Loulo-Gounkoto and a faster recovery at Pueblo Viejo following scheduled maintenance. It also cited a record level of underground mine tonnes mined at Cortez. These figures provide context for assessing the expected results, but are not third-quarter figures.
On revenue, Barrick reported $5.29 billion in the second quarter of 2026, up 44% from $3.68 billion in the same period a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to shareholders was $2.55 billion, up 51% year over year, with a margin of 60%. The company said the annual increase in earnings was driven by higher realized gold and copper prices. These indicators reflect improved revenue and profitability in the second quarter, according to the company’s disclosure. The November 9 results will be the first published figures for the following quarter.
Copper production was 56,000 tonnes in the second quarter, down 5% from the same period a year earlier, but in line with plan. Gold all-in sustaining costs were $1,866 per ounce, up 11% from the second quarter of 2025. The company attributed cost pressures to lower ore grades at Carlin, Cortez and North Mara, as well as higher fuel costs and royalties linked to higher realized gold prices. The cost increase adds another dimension to second-quarter performance alongside growth in revenue and gold production. The results scheduled for November 9 will show whether the pressures continued in the third quarter.
Barrick kept its 2026 gold production guidance at 2.90–3.25 million ounces in its second-quarter report. It also repurchased $1.209 billion in shares during the quarter, under an announced $3.0 billion program. On its asset structure, the company said it still expects to complete an initial public offering of a minority stake in a new company holding North American gold assets by the end of 2026, subject to market conditions and required approvals. These plans provide corporate context for the results announcement, but remain separate from third-quarter figures that had not been released as of the article’s date. The next milestone for shareholders is the official announcement before market open on November 9, followed by the company’s webcast and presentation.
