▼(-5.58% Downside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:06/16/26
The score is driven primarily by strong financial performance (fortress balance sheet and robust free cash flow), supported by a constructive earnings update with maintained guidance and strong capital returns. Offsetting these positives are weak current technical momentum and operational/cost uncertainties discussed on the call (Cadia downtime, energy sensitivity, Ghana royalty headwind, and the NGM JV dispute).
Positive Factors
Conservative balance sheet
Extremely low leverage (debt-to-equity ~0.01) gives Newmont durable financial flexibility. Minimal debt reduces refinancing and covenant risk, supports sustaining/development capex during downturns, and permits opportunistic buybacks or M&A without stressing liquidity over the medium term.
Negative Factors
Top-line volatility
A 22% TTM revenue decline highlights pronounced commodity-driven revenue volatility. Such swings constrain multi-period planning, make sustaining margins harder to predict, and can force lumpy capital or payout adjustments, reducing earnings and cash-flow visibility over the next several months.

Newmont Mining Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Apr 23, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 23, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call emphasized strong operational and financial performance in Q1 — record free cash flow, robust adjusted EBITDA, below-guidance AISC, meaningful shareholder returns, and clear progress on key projects — which substantially outweigh near-term challenges. Management is proactively managing cost and productivity levers, progressing Cadia recovery with no injuries, and has maintained full-year guidance despite energy and geopolitical headwinds. Primary negatives include the Cadia seismic downtime impact on Q2, rising energy costs (quantified sensitivity: ~$60M per $10/barrel or ~$12/oz), the open-ended Nevada Gold Mines JV dispute with Barrick, and region-specific operational disruptions and a recent fatality at Tanami. Overall, positives (record cash generation, strong metrics, shareholder returns, project progress, and maintained guidance) materially outweigh the lowlights.Positive Updates
Record Free Cash Flow and Strong Cash Generation
Generated $3.8 billion in cash flow from operations after working capital and a record $3.1 billion in free cash flow for the quarter, despite typical seasonal working capital headwinds.
Negative Updates
Cadia Seismic Event and Near-Term Production Impact
Magnitude April event at Cadia led to temporary underground downtime; processing surface stockpiles while underground rehabilitation is underway. Management expects return to ~80% operating capacity within ~5 weeks and full recovery by end of Q2, but Q2 production is expected to be lower as a result.

Company Guidance
Management maintained 2026 guidance and provided detailed metrics: Q1 produced 1.3M oz gold, 50k t copper and 9M oz silver, generated $3.8B cash flow from operations (after working capital) and a record $3.1B free cash flow, with adjusted EBITDA of $5.2B and adjusted net income of $2.90 per diluted share; Q1 gold AISC (by‑product) was $1,029/oz. They reaffirmed full‑year production guidance of 5.3M oz, full‑year development capital guidance of $1.4B (weighted to H2) and reported $239M of development and $381M of sustaining capital spent in Q1; guidance assumes $70/bbl Brent (diesel ≈6% of direct operating cost) and management cites a ~$60M cost impact per $10/bbl movement (~$12/oz AISC), plus an estimated Ghana sliding‑scale royalty headwind of ~$25/oz in 2026. On capital allocation, the sustainable total cash dividend is $1.1B/year (Q1 dividend $0.26/share), prior repurchase authority was fully exercised (≈$2.4B repurchased since the last call, $6B total over 24 months), the board approved a new $6B buyback, net cash target remains $1B ± $2B, debt was reduced by $42M, and non‑core divestiture proceeds now exceed $4.6B (≈$321M received this quarter).Newmont Mining Financial Statement Overview
