MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Newmont
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Newmont Co.:

  • The resolution of the potential large payment to Barrick Mining to equalize ownership of the Fourmile project in their Nevada joint venture, which was finalized in August 2026, has removed a significant overhang on the investment case. Analysts from UBS and others have noted that the market may be underappreciating the positive impact of this resolution, which provides clarity on capital returns and supports a path to growing production per share.
  • Newmont Co. recently demonstrated strong financial performance by reporting earnings per share of $2.10 for the quarter ended July 23, 2026, which exceeded the consensus estimate of $2.05. This beat, combined with a net margin of 33.36% and a return on equity of 29.10%, indicates robust profitability and operational efficiency that can drive shareholder value.
  • The stock currently trades at $123.25, which is below the consensus price target of $132.73 set by analysts as of September 4, 2026. This suggests there is still room for upside potential, particularly as major institutions like Royal Bank of Canada recently raised their price target to $155.00 and Goldman Sachs adjusted its target to $127.50, reflecting a "Moderate Buy" consensus rating.
  • Institutional interest in Newmont Co. has been strong, with significant new positions acquired in the second quarter of 2026. For example, Amundi purchased a stake worth approximately $209.4 million, and BlackRock Inc. acquired a new position valued at about $11.29 billion, indicating that large institutional investors are confident in the company's long-term prospects and stability.
  • The company maintains a low beta of 0.52, which means its stock price tends to be less volatile than the overall market. This characteristic can provide a defensive quality to a portfolio, especially in times of market uncertainty, while still offering exposure to the gold sector through its primary focus on gold production and exploration.

Newmont
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Newmont Co. for these reasons:

  • Insider selling has been notable in recent months, with CEO Natascha Viljoen and CFO Brian Tabolt both selling shares in August and September 2026. For instance, the CFO sold 11,445 shares on August 5, 2026, and the CEO sold 3,882 shares on September 1, 2026. While these sales may be part of pre-arranged trading plans, a pattern of insider selling can sometimes signal a lack of confidence in the stock's near-term upside.
  • Despite the earnings beat, Newmont Co. reported revenue of $6.12 billion for the quarter ended July 23, 2026, which fell short of the analyst consensus estimate of $6.35 billion. This revenue miss could indicate challenges in maintaining production levels or pricing power, which may impact future earnings growth and investor sentiment.
  • The stock has experienced significant volatility, with a 52-week range from $76.05 to $135.29. This wide range reflects the sensitivity of gold mining stocks to commodity price fluctuations and macroeconomic factors, which can lead to substantial price swings and increased risk for investors seeking stable returns.
  • Some analysts have recently lowered their price targets and ratings, reflecting concerns about the company's outlook. For example, BNP Paribas Exane lowered its price target from $111.00 to $102.00 and set a "neutral" rating in July 2026, while Wall Street Zen cut its rating from "buy" to "hold" in the same month, indicating a more cautious view on the stock's potential.
  • The company's dividend yield is relatively low at 0.84%, which may not be attractive to income-focused investors. Additionally, the dividend payout ratio is 13.13%, suggesting that the company is retaining most of its earnings for reinvestment, which may limit the immediate cash returns available to shareholders compared to other investment options.
