Newmont's third-quarter adjusted NPAT of USD 2.3 billion, or USD 2.20 per share, rose 23% on a year ago, driven by a 22% higher realized gold price. This more than offset lower sales volumes and higher unit costs. Its ASX-listed shares closed 4% lower, similar to peers, as the gold price fell.
Newmont is the world’s largest gold miner, with copper and other byproducts providing some diversification, representing around 15% of forecast midcycle revenue from 2030.
Bears
Bigger is not always better in gold mining. Newmont's operations span four continents, increasing the complexity and difficulty of managing the assets.
Newmont is the world's largest gold miner. It bought Goldcorp in 2019, combined its Nevada mines in a joint venture with competitor Barrick later that year, and also purchased competitor Newcrest in November 2023. Its portfolio includes 11 mines and interests in two joint ventures in the Americas, Africa, Australia, and Papua New Guinea. It is expected to sell roughly 5.3 million ounces of gold in 2026 from its continuing mines after selling six higher-cost, smaller mines following the Newcrest acquisition. Newmont also produces material amounts of copper, silver, zinc, and lead as byproducts. It had about two decades of gold reserves, along with significant byproduct reserves at the end of December 2025.
