On July 27, Newmont Mining rose 3.49% overnight, trading at 96.71 USD/share, with turnover of $1.70 million. The move was supported by strong gold prices and continued positive sentiment following the company's Q2 earnings release and reaffirmation of full-year production guidance.
Newmont reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $2.10 and revenue of $6.118 billion on July 23. While both figures slightly missed consensus estimates of $2.18 and $6.491 billion respectively, earnings grew 46.85% year-over-year and revenue rose approximately 30%. The company reaffirmed its full-year production targets, emphasized cost control effectiveness, and guided Q3 gold production to remain roughly flat with Q2 levels. Management also flagged potential Q3 cost headwinds from rising oil prices and sensitivity to gold-price-driven royalties.
Within the Gold sector, peers posted broad gains: Coeur Mining up 3.44%, Agnico Eagle Mines up 1.71%, Barrick Mining up 1.54%, while Franco-Nevada declined 9.83%. Analysts maintain a consensus overweight rating on Newmont with a mean price target of approximately $135.
