Northern Star Resources Ltd ( (AU:NST) ) has shared an update.
Northern Star Resources has responded to an ASX query following its 2 January 2026 operational update, confirming that a downgrade to its production forecast and several operational issues are considered potentially material to its share price. The company said it only became aware on 1 January 2026, after receiving full December quarter data, that softer operational performance, lower-than-expected gold sales across all three production centres and the impact of issues such as an underperforming primary crusher at KCGM and carbon-in-leach failures at Thunderbox were likely to affect its ability to meet annual production guidance. While acknowledging that annual cost guidance is expected to be impacted by the weaker December quarter, Northern Star said it still lacks sufficient information to quantify the effect and will update the market once it can reasonably frame and confirm any material change, underscoring the operational uncertainty and heightened scrutiny of its guidance disclosures.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:NST) stock is a Buy with a A$31.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Northern Star Resources Ltd stock, see the AU:NST Stock Forecast page.
