The latest announcement is out from Northern Star Resources Ltd ( (AU:NST) ).

Northern Star Resources has cut its FY26 production guidance to 1.6–1.7 million ounces of gold from 1.7–1.85 million ounces after a soft December quarter, when group sales fell to about 348,000 ounces, bringing first-half sales to roughly 729,000 ounces. The weaker performance stemmed from a cluster of operational setbacks late in the quarter, including a primary crusher failure at KCGM in Kalgoorlie, extended recovery works at Jundee after a structural failure, lower grades and processing downtime at Thunderbox, and dilution-related grade impacts at Pogo, with lower sales at all three production centres expected to push costs higher; detailed cost figures and revised guidance will be provided with the December quarterly results on 22 January 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:NST) stock is a Buy with a A$32.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Northern Star Resources Ltd stock, see the AU:NST Stock Forecast page.
