On 22 July 2026, Newmont Corp. reported quarterly earnings of $2.10 per share, exceeding the consensus estimate of $1.99. While the company posted a net margin of 33.87% and a return on equity of 27.84%, its shares saw a slight midday decline to $94.57. Analysts maintained a moderate-buy consensus, though some institutions, such as Weiss Ratings and Royal Bank of Canada, lowered their recommendations or price targets.

By 24 July 2026, several analysts downgraded the company from “buy” to “hold,” citing headwinds from lower gold prices, higher energy costs, and geopolitical tensions. Despite these concerns, Newmont reported record free cash flow for the quarter and reaffirmed its 2026 targets, including $8.5 billion in free cash flow and continued EPS growth. Additionally, Epoch Investment Partners disclosed a new position of approximately 67,900 shares valued at $7.35 million, joining major holders like Vanguard and State Street.

On 9 August 2026, Zacks Research lowered its Q3 2026 EPS estimate to $1.92 from a previous forecast of $2.19. This shift follows a Q2 performance where, despite an earnings beat, revenue of $6.12 billion fell below expectations. While operational disruptions at Cadia and rising unit costs persist, technical analysis indicates a potential bullish pattern following a 20% weekly gain, with analysts watching for a breakout above the $118-$120 range.
