Barrick Mining ( (TSE:ABX) ) has issued an update.

Barrick Mining reported record financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025, with Q4 gold output rising 5% sequentially to 871,000 ounces and copper production up 13%, driving quarterly revenue to $6.0 billion and free cash flow to $1.62 billion. For 2025, revenue climbed to $16.96 billion and free cash flow nearly tripled versus 2024 as the company met its gold and copper production guidance despite lower year-on-year gold volumes and higher costs tied to royalties and consumables. The miner posted its highest-ever quarterly earnings per share, sharply boosted year over year, and responded with a more aggressive capital return strategy that includes a new dividend framework targeting a 50% payout of attributable free cash flow, a 40% increase in the base quarterly dividend, a Q4 dividend totaling $0.42 per share, and $1.5 billion of share buybacks representing about 3% of shares outstanding. Barrick also doubled the gold resource at its Fourmile project in Nevada and issued 2026 guidance of 2.90–3.25 million ounces of gold and 190,000–220,000 tonnes of copper. In a significant strategic move, the board has decided to advance preparations for an IPO of its North American gold assets, signaling an effort to unlock additional value from its portfolio and potentially reshape its regional asset base for the benefit of shareholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:ABX) stock is a Buy with a C$71.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Barrick Mining stock, see the TSE:ABX Stock Forecast page.
