Gold has had a turbulent year so far. After soaring to a record high of nearly $5,600 per ounce in January, the precious metal suffered a sharp reversal. Gold prices logged their steepest quarterly decline in 13 years, with spot prices falling 15% in the second quarter of 2026, per Canadian Mining Journal. This is the worst drop since the second quarter of 2013, with maximum losses coming in June. The selloff was driven by rising inflation concerns following the Middle-East conflict, which pushed energy prices higher and raised the likelihood of an interest rate hike by central banks. In the United States, inflation remains well above the Fed’s 2% target, and traders are pricing in a 65% chance of a rate hike in September, per the CME FedWatch tool. Higher interest rates and a stronger U.S. dollar have been putting pressure on gold. These headwinds could keep gold prices volatile in the near term. But the recent correction may have created an attractive entry point into high-quality gold mining stocks like DRDGOLD Limited DRD, Newmont Corporation NEM and Barrick Mining Corporation B for long-term investors. DRDGOLD: The company stands out from traditional gold miners with its specialized gold tailings retreatment business, which involves recovering gold from previously mined waste material. This business model helps keep operating costs relatively low while reducing geological risks associated with conventional mining. DRDGOLD remains on track to achieve the upper end of its 2026 production guidance of 140,000-150,000 ounces while maintaining a debt-free balance sheet and sufficient liquidity to internally fund its expansion plans. The company delivered strong operational and financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, supported by higher throughput and disciplined cost management. The company's Vision 2028 strategy, including its “Big 5” projects, is expected to expand processing capacity to 3 million tons per month and increase annual gold production to about 200,000 ounces over the medium term. Backed by a strong financial position, steady execution and a differentiated operating model, DRDGOLD appears well-positioned to navigate near-term gold price volatility while delivering long-term growth. DRD stock currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and has a Value Score of B. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for DRDGOLD’s fiscal 2026 and fiscal...

The metric surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4,533.5 million. Total gold production was 719,000 ounces in the reported quarter, down around 5.1% year over year. The figure beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 655,000 ounces. The average realized price of gold was $4,823 per ounce in the quarter, up around 66.4%. The cost of sales increased around 18% year over year to $1,922 per ounce. AISC moved down 4% to $1,708 per ounce in the quarter. At the end of the quarter, Barrick had cash and cash equivalents of $7,131 million, up 74% from the prior-year quarter. The company’s total debt was $4,726 million at the end of the quarter, essentially flat year over year.

For 2026, Barrick anticipates attributable gold production to be in the range of 2.9-3.25 million ounces. For the second quarter of 2026, gold production is expected to be in the range of 730,000-770,000 ounces. AISC is projected at $1,760-$1,950 per ounce for 2026.

Since the earnings release, investors have witnessed a flat trend in estimates review. At this time, Barrick Mining has a str...

Newmont Corporation NEM saw lower gold production in the first quarter of 2026, partly linked to its strategic divestment of non-core assets. NEM reported a roughly 16% year-over-year and 10% sequential decline in attributable gold production to 1.3 million ounces. Newmont expects second-quarter 2026 production to be below the first-quarter level. For 2026, the company anticipates gold production at about 5.26 million ounces, indicating a year-over-year decline from 5.89 million ounces in 2025. NEM expects lower production from Penasquito and Cadia in 2026 due to the site transitions. It also sees lower-than-expected production from Nevada Gold Mines and Pueblo Viejo. These will be partly offset by contributions from the newly commissioned Ahafo North mine.Lower production is also expected to lead to higher unit costs in 2026. NEM expects all-in-sustaining costs (AISC) — a critical cost metric for miners — to be $1,680 per ounce on a by-product basis, a notable increase from $1,358 per ounce in 2025. This is expected to stem from lower sales volumes as a result of planned mine sequencing, higher royalties and production taxes, deferral of sustaining capital from 2025 into 2026 and inventory changes. The production decline and higher costs could undercut the company’s profitability goals.Looking across the competitive landscape, Barrick Mining Corporation B saw a 5% year-over-year decline in first-quarter gold production to 719,000 ounces. First-quarter production also fell 17% from 871,000 ounces in the fourth quarter of 2025. Barrick expects production to increase sequentially throughout the remainder of 2026, with second-quarter gold production projected in the band of 730,000-770,000 ounces. Barrick reaffirmed its production forecast for 2026, with attributable gold production expected in the range of 2.9-3.25 million ounces.Agnico Eagle Mines Limited’s AEM gold production fell nearly 6% year over year in the first quarter to 825,109 ounces, impacted by reduced output at Macassa and Meadowbank on lower grades. AEM expects gold production to be weighted to a stronger second half. For full-year 2026, Agnico Eagle maintained gold production expectations between 3.3 million and 3.5 million ounces. Shares of Newmont have shot up 84.9% in the past year against the Zacks Mining – Gold industry’s rise of 49.6%. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research From a valua...

Agnico Eagle Mines Limited AEM delivered forecast-topping earnings performance in the first quarter on gold price strength, but it remains exposed to headwinds from higher costs. Its all-in sustaining cost (AISC) — the most important cost metric of miners — was $1,483 per ounce in the quarter, marking a roughly 26% year-over-year rise. AISC increased year over year due to higher total cash costs and an uptick in sustaining capital expenditures. Total cash costs per ounce for gold were $1,093, 22% higher than $895 a year ago. Total cash costs rose due to increased royalty costs and lower production. While Agnico Eagle is taking action to control costs, the inflationary pressure is likely to continue, weighing on its overall financial performance. Maintaining cost discipline to sustain margin expansion will be crucial for the company.AEM forecasts total cash costs per ounce in the range of $1,020 to $1,120 and AISC per ounce between $1,400 and $1,550 for 2026, suggesting a year-over-year increase at the midpoint of the respective ranges. Cash costs are expected to increase in 2026, partly due to higher royalty costs, cost inflation (including higher labor and electricity costs) and lower grades across certain mines. Higher production costs warrant caution, as they will likely weigh on AEM’s profitability. Among AEM’s peers, Barrick Mining Corporation B saw a 4% year-over-year decline in AISC in the first quarter, reaching $1,708 per ounce. It, however, rose 8% sequentially. For 2026, Barrick projects AISC in the range of $1,760-$1,950 per ounce, indicating a significant year-over-year increase at the midpoint compared with $1,637 in 2025. Barrick forecasts cash costs per ounce to be $1,330-$1,470, up from $1,199 in 2025.Kinross Gold Corporation KGC saw higher production costs in the March quarter. KGC’s first-quarter attributable AISC was $1,732 per ounce, marking a 28% increase from the year-ago quarter. Kinross expects AISC to be $1,730 per ounce (+/-5%) in 2026, indicating a year-over-year increase from $1,571 per ounce in 2025, partly due to inflationary impacts. Shares of Agnico Eagle have gained 8.4% in the past six months compared with the Zacks Mining – Gold industry’s rise of 14.1%. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research From a valuation standpoint, AEM is currently trading at a forward 12-month earnings multiple of 13.1, a roughly 22.9% premium to t...

In recent days, Newmont reported strong first-quarter results, expanded its share repurchase authorization by US$6.00 billion, and advanced talks with Barrick about adding the Fourmile discovery to their existing Nevada Gold Mines joint venture, even as investors reacted to macroeconomic pressures on gold and higher expected operating costs. The tension between robust current performance and earnings expectations on one hand, and concerns over rising costs, lower future output, and gold price sensitivity on the other, is now central to how investors interpret Newmont’s long-term story. We’ll now examine how concerns about higher 2026 operating costs and capital needs could influence Newmont’s previously balanced investment narrative. Outshine the giants: these 14 early-stage AI stocks could fund your retirement. To own Newmont, you generally need to believe in the long term value of large scale gold and copper production, supported by disciplined capital returns. Today, the key near term catalyst is how quickly the market looks past gold price weakness to focus on earnings power, while the biggest risk is the pressure from higher 2026 operating costs and capital spending. Recent news on stronger Q1 results and Fourmile talks does not materially change that balance yet. The most relevant recent announcement here is Newmont’s US$6.00 billion expansion of its share repurchase authorization, coming alongside solid first quarter earnings. For many shareholders, this deepens the focus on capital returns as a near term support, but it also sharpens the question of how sustainable buybacks and dividends will be if 2026 cost inflation, lower planned output, and weaker gold prices persist. Yet against robust buybacks and earnings, investors should also be aware of rising 2026 cost pressures and... Read the full narrative on Newmont (it's free!) Newmont's narrative projects $21.6 billion revenue and $6.4 billion earnings by 2028. This requires 1.6% yearly revenue growth and about a $0.2 billion earnings increase from $6.2 billion today. Uncover how Newmont's forecasts yield a $110.64 fair value, a 5% upside to its current price. Compared with the consensus view, the most optimistic analysts saw Newmont reaching about US$26.0 billion of revenue and US$8.0 billion of earnings by 2028, which paints a far more upbeat picture than the cost and output concerns raised by the...

Barrick Gold Corp. (TSX:ABX, NYSE:GOLD) shares climbed nearly 7% following the release of its first quarter 2026 results, after the company reported earnings, production, and cash flow that significantly exceeded analyst expectations. For the quarter ended March 31, Barrick posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.98, beating the consensus estimate of $0.74. Revenue rose to $5.22 billion, surpassing expectations of approximately $4.53 billion and increasing from $3.13 billion in the prior-year period. The stronger performance was driven by higher-than-expected gold production and improved operational efficiency, supported by elevated realized gold prices. Barrick produced 719,000 ounces of gold during the quarter, exceeding its guidance range of 640,000 to 680,000 ounces. Copper production totaled 49,000 tonnes, in line with expectations. All-in sustaining costs (AISC) for gold were $1,708 per ounce, down 4% year-over-year and below internal expectations for the quarter, while total cash costs rose to $1,327 per ounce. Looking ahead, the company reiterated full-year guidance, with gold production expected between 2.9 million and 3.25 million ounces and copper production between 190,000 and 220,000 tonnes. Second-quarter gold production is forecast at 730,000 to 770,000 ounces, with sequential improvement expected through the remainder of the year. Barrick also declared a quarterly dividend of $0.175 per share and announced a new $3 billion share buyback program. The company said its North American Barrick IPO remains on track for completion by year-end 2026. “We started the year with another strong quarter. Building on momentum from Q4, we operated safely and outperformed our plan on both gold production and costs,” Barrick Gold CEO Mark Hill said. “Our performance allowed us to capture even more of the higher gold price, producing significantly higher earnings and cash flow compared to a year ago.” Jefferies analysts said Barrick’s first-quarter results came in ahead of expectations across earnings, production, and cash flow, driven by stronger output and lower costs. The firm noted that the market had been expecting gold production in the 640,000 to 680,000 ounce range, while actual production reached 719,000 ounces. Jefferies added that production is expected to strengthen through the year, including roughly 750,000 ounces in the second quarter, supported...
