Newmont Corporation (NEM) is the world's largest gold producer, operating a leading global portfolio focused on gold, copper, silver, and zinc mining. The company generates its revenue primarily from the production and sale of precious and industrial metals from its strategically distributed mines in stable jurisdictions including North America, Australia, South America, and Africa. The company's profitability depends heavily on its ability to maintain stable production levels and effectively manage operating costs to capitalize on global metal price fluctuations and achieve strong profit margins and sustainable free cash flows.
During the first quarter of 2026, Newmont achieved exceptional financial and operational results, with quarterly revenue reaching $7.3 billion and net income at $3.3 billion, with earnings per share (EPS) of $3 (and adjusted EPS of $2.90). Adjusted EBITDA reached approximately $5.2 billion. Operationally, the company produced 1.3 million ounces of gold, 30 thousand tonnes of copper, and 9 million ounces of silver, which helped lower the gold All-In Sustaining Cost (AISC) to $1,029 per ounce on a co-product basis. The company also achieved a record free cash flow of $3.1 billion and operating cash flows of $3.8 billion.
Alongside operations, the company continued to execute its non-core asset divestment program, receiving approximately $321 million post-tax in the first quarter of 2026 from the sale of investments in SolGold and Greatland Resources and contingent payments from Musselwhite and Cripple Creek & Victor, bringing total program proceeds to over $4.6 billion. This liquidity is directed to support the enhanced capital allocation framework focused on debt reduction, share repurchases, and sustainable dividend distributions.
Newmont Corporation (NEM) stock enjoys a positive analyst consensus with a Buy recommendation, with an average target price of $143.33, a high target of $175, and a low target of $111. Considering the company's current market capitalization of $113.3 billion and its record cash flows, the stock currently trades below the analysts' average target price, indicating good room for market capitalization growth. This valuation reflects market confidence in the company's ability to overcome temporary operational hurdles and deliver long-term value to shareholders through its massive repurchase program.

A 4.5-magnitude earthquake occurred near the Cadia mine on April 14, 2026, and all underground workers were evacuated safely and without injury thanks to effective safety protocols. No surface infrastructure or tailings facilities sustained any damage, and the company is currently processing surface stockpiles to mitigate the gap. Management expects underground rehabilitation work to be completed within 5 weeks to reach 80% of operating capacity, with a full recovery achieved by the end of the second quarter, which will make second-quarter production temporarily lower before returning to normal levels in the third quarter of 2026.
Newmont's Board of Directors approved a new $6 billion share repurchase program, which is the fourth authorization since February 2024, after the previous authorization was fully exhausted. The company has successfully returned $2.7 billion to shareholders recently through a combination of cash dividends and ongoing repurchases. This systematic program aims to reduce the number of shares outstanding to increase earnings per share and free cash flow per share, which have already risen by 6% compared to levels prior to the program's commencement.
Newmont confirms its commitment to achieving its 2026 production guidance of 5.3 million ounces of gold, following a strong start with production of 1.3 million ounces in the first quarter. The gold All-In Sustaining Cost (AISC) was $1,029 per ounce in the first quarter, which is below annual guidance thanks to strong co-product sales. However, the company faces additional financial pressures including Ghana's new progressive royalty rate of $25 per ounce for 2026, and an oil price sensitivity of $60 million for every $10 change in a barrel of Brent.

Newmont issued a notice of default to its partner Barrick Gold in February 2026 due to issues related to asset management and resource direction in the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture. The notice period is currently open, as Newmont is participating in an ongoing and detailed audit and review of results with the other party to reach a consensual resolution that ensures the project is operated at peak efficiency. The company also continues to gather technical data and evaluations for the Fourmile project to study its future options within the partnership framework.
Newmont received approximately $321 million in post-tax proceeds during the first quarter of 2026 from the divestment of its investments in SolGold and Greatland Resources, in addition to contingent payments from the sales of the Musselwhite and Cripple Creek & Victor mines. These transactions raised the company's total cumulative post-tax proceeds from the non-core asset divestment program to over $4.6 billion. These proceeds are used to enhance balance sheet flexibility and support the company's sustainable and developmental capital investments.
