An announcement from Northern Star Resources Ltd ( (AU:NST) ) is now available.

Northern Star Resources has revised its FY26 all-in sustaining cost (AISC) guidance upward to A$2,600–A$2,800 per ounce from A$2,300–A$2,700 per ounce, following a previously announced downgrade to FY26 production guidance to 1,600–1,700 thousand ounces after weaker-than-expected December quarter gold sales across all three production centres. The higher cost outlook is primarily attributed to lower gold sales and increased royalty expenses driven by elevated gold prices, while FY26 sustaining capital guidance remains unchanged at about A$750 million, equating to roughly A$450 per ounce, indicating margin pressures but continued commitment to capital investment ahead of the company’s upcoming December quarterly results.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:NST) stock is a Buy with a A$28.20 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Northern Star Resources Ltd stock, see the AU:NST Stock Forecast page.
