Newmont Mining shares are under pressure as traders question whether the recent rally, driven by a strong earnings surprise and buyback news, has gone too far. Some investors are locking in profits, despite the company’s solid fundamentals and upbeat outlook for gold prices.
The stock’s earlier climb followed a Q1 2026 earnings beat, with EPS of $2.90 topping the $2.07 consensus. That performance prompted valuation upgrades and higher price targets from firms such as Scotiabank and BMO, aided by optimism around a $6 billion share buyback and record free cash flow.
