Rating:76Outperform
Price Target:

▼(-17.93% Downside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:06/07/26
The score is driven by very strong 2025 financial performance and supportive valuation (low P/E and high yield). These positives are tempered by weak price/technical trends (below key moving averages with negative MACD) and earnings-call risks around cost inflation, elevated capex, and Ghana regulatory uncertainty.
Positive Factors
Cash Generation
Gold Fields delivered materially stronger, high-quality cash generation in 2025, with operating cash flow covering net income and free cash flow rebounding. Durable cash generation supports sustained dividends, debt paydown, and reinvestment in growth projects through the commodity cycle.
Negative Factors
High Capital Expenditure
Elevated and concentrated capex requirements are structural near-term demands: sustained higher investment (notably in Australia) increases funding needs, currency exposure and execution risk. This constrains discretionary returns and raises sensitivity of FCF to cost or price shocks.

Gold Fields Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Feb 19, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 21, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call conveys a predominantly positive performance: material production growth, strong cash generation, substantial reserve replacement and a marked increase in shareholder returns underpin a healthy operational and financial momentum. Offsetting risks include modest cost inflation, elevated capital requirements (especially in Australia), specific operational declines (Damang, Tarkwa), safety incidents, high contractor turnover at Gruyere and potential Ghana royalty/lease uncertainty that could raise future unit costs. Management has clear mitigation plans (portfolio optimization, capital allocation framework, community/permitting progress and contractor remediation), and balance-sheet metrics remain strong, supporting continued returns and growth investment.Positive Updates
Strong Production Growth
Attributable production rose 18% year-on-year to 2.44 million ounces, at the upper end of guidance (2.25–2.45 Moz). Salares Norte ramp-up was a major contributor to the increase.
Negative Updates
Rising Unit Costs and Inflationary Pressures
All-in costs increased ~3% year-on-year and all-in sustaining costs increased ~1% year-on-year. Company cited cost inflation, strengthening producer currencies, higher royalties and higher sustaining capital (e.g., winterization at Salares) as drivers.

Company Guidance
Management reiterated 2026 guidance in line with the Capital Markets Day: group production of 2.4–2.6 million ounces, total capital expenditure of $1.9–$2.1 billion, all‑in sustaining costs of $1,800–$2,000/oz and all‑in costs of $2,075–$2,300/oz. Salares Norte guidance remains 525,000–550,000 oz gold‑equivalent with AISC of $450–$600/oz. Windfall milestones target FID mid‑2026, main environmental approval and secondary permits by end‑H1/June 2026, site clearance and core infrastructure in 2027, plant construction in H1 2027, commissioning late‑2028 and first gold in 2029. Management noted portfolio metrics that underpin the plan, including ~4.0 million oz of reserve additions (a 9% increase) versus 2.5 million oz of depletion, and a capital‑allocation framework that directs roughly 35% of free cash flow (before discretionary growth) to shareholder returns.Gold Fields Financial Statement Overview
