Zacks.com users have recently been watching Newmont (NEM) quite a bit. Thus, it is worth knowing the facts that could determine the stock's prospects.

Gold miner Newmont Corporation might have corrected recently, along with the decline in gold prices, but the outlook for the company and the stock are both highly positive. There's significant double-digit percent upside to the stock, thanks to a sustained production outlook and strong net margin. Additionally, the company's ongoing share repurchase program works in the stock's favor, as do its favorable market multiples.

Bob Bracket, a Wall Street analyst at Bernstein Research, has raised his Gold (XAUT) price target for the end of the year and the second half of 2026.

Newmont Corporation (NEM) closed at $94.81 in the latest trading session, marking a +1.73% move from the prior day.

H1 2026 turned out to be a bad one for gold mining stocks, despite a great start, because of the oil crisis that erupted in 2026. H2 2026 could be better than H1 2026 with no repeat of the big losses, but big gains will be difficult with the crisis still not fully resolved. Gold mining stocks are likely to go flattish in H2 2026, but their ability to go higher should get better longer term for multiple reasons.

Newmont Corporation, the world's largest gold miner, trades at 9.6x forward earnings after an approximate 30% stock decline amid gold's Q2 sell-off. NEM delivered Q1 revenue up 46% to $7.31 billion, beat earnings estimates, generated a record $3.1 billion in free cash flow, and completed a $6 billion buyback with another $6 billion authorized. Management reaffirmed FY2026 guidance: 5.3 million oz gold, 9 million oz silver, 30,000 tonnes copper; analysts project 47% profit growth and 25% revenue growth for FY2026.

Newmont (NEM) trades at roughly 9.6x forward earnings (about 8.6x on 2027 estimates), below its five-year average, after gold corrected more than 25% from its January high. Q1 2026 was a record: $3.1 billion in free cash flow, $3.3 billion in net income, a net cash balance sheet, and a fresh $6.0 billion buyback authorization. 2026 production will take a hit, though, with higher AISC at about $1,680/oz.

Newmont Corporation (NEM) concluded the recent trading session at $98.2, signifying a +1.2% move from its prior day's close.

Newmont's Q1 earnings and cash hit record highs. Gold price, however, slipped into a bear market in June 2026.

AngloGold Ashanti demonstrated explosive revenue growth in FY 2025 and maintains a strong geographic footprint across four continents. Newmont remains the global industry leader by revenue and scale, supported by high net margins and significant free cash flow.
