Newmont’s surprise stock decline gives mining investors reason to reevaluate heading into earnings season

Shares of Newmont Corp. (NYSE:NEM) dropped heavily last week following a Wednesday earnings release that, while solid, did not meet investor expectations amid a gold rally not seen since 2011.

Shares dropped as much as 19% from the stock’s pre-earnings price of $57.81 a share and have since settled about 16% lower as the security prepares to open trading around $48.27 a share on Monday.

The company reported an earnings per share of $0.81 during Q3 on estimates of $0.86. Newmont had surpassed analyst expectations in the previous three quarters, tracking back to Q4 2023, which included a considerable beat in Q1 of $0.55 earnings per share on a $0.36 estimate. In last year’s third quarter, Newmont missed earnings with a $0.36 earnings per share figure on estimates of $0.40.

A huge drop amid a huge rally

Newmont’s stock price drop came at a time when the company posted its highest quarterly profits in five years, bringing in $922 million in net income.

“The street expectations were too high,” Carey MacRury, a mining analyst at Canaccord Genuity told Yahoo Finance. “It was negative, no doubt, but I don’t think it’s as negative as what the market’s telling us today.”

Yahoo reported gold miners have struggled with higher labor and energy costs recently.

Most miners also dropped in reaction to Newmont’s earnings release, including Barrick Gold Corp. and Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd.

“There’s a potential read-through here, assuming Newmont’s takeaways are accurate, that this is a risk factor for the industry,” Josh Wolfson, a Royal Bank of Canada mining analyst, told Bloomberg.

Other experts told Bloomberg that labor costs appear to be cutting into miners’ profits.
