Newmont Gold Corp (NYSE: NEM) is projecting a decline in gold production to 5.3 million ounces for 2026, down from 5.7 million the previous year, amid strategic divestments that have already led to a 24% drop in quarterly output. Despite this, the company expects to achieve net earnings of approximately $14.9 billion, buoyed by higher gold prices, but is grappling with rising production costs forecasted to reach $1,680 per ounce. Analysts have raised earnings estimates, seeing potential growth in Newmont as it continues to focus on Tier 1 mines and drive shareholder returns.

“Models shows this could be even bigger than the super El Niño events of 1982, 1997 and 2015.”
“Newmont, the world's largest gold producer, has said it expects to produce 5.3 million ounces of gold in 2026, including more than 3.9 million ounces from its managed operations. While that's down from the 5.7 million ounces it produced in 2025.”
“Another reason to remain optimistic is the company's aggressive shareholder return strategy, which returned $3.4 billion of that free cash flow through share repurchases and dividends in 2025.”
