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.

Barrick Gold
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

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

  • Barrick Gold Co. recently secured a significant long-term operational advantage by obtaining 15-year mining licenses for its North Mara gold mine in Tanzania, a development announced in early October 2026 that provides regulatory stability and secures access to one of the region's largest gold assets for the next decade and a half.
  • The company demonstrated strong financial performance in its most recent quarterly report released in August 2026, reporting earnings per share of C$1.17 and revenue of C$6.06 billion, which supported a net margin of 31.60% and a return on equity of 24.57%, indicating efficient capital deployment and robust profitability.
  • Barrick Gold Co. currently trades at a price of $57.95, which is below the consensus price target of C$67.67 set by thirteen research firms that have issued a consensus "Buy" rating, suggesting that the stock may be undervalued relative to analyst expectations for future growth.
  • The company is executing a strategic restructuring of its Nevada Gold Mines joint venture with Newmont, a move that is clearing the path for a potential initial public offering, which could unlock shareholder value and provide greater transparency and liquidity for investors in the company's US operations.
  • Barrick Gold Co. maintains a strong balance sheet with a current ratio of 3.01 and a quick ratio of 2.62, metrics that indicate the company has ample liquid assets to cover its short-term liabilities, providing a financial cushion against market volatility or operational disruptions.

Barrick Gold
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

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

  • Director Mark Francis Hill recently sold 174,778 shares of Barrick Gold Co. stock in a transaction valued at C$10,394,047.66, representing a 58.13% decrease in his personal ownership stake, which may signal a lack of confidence in the stock's near-term upside from a key insider.
  • The company carries a high debt-to-equity ratio of 17.15, a financial metric that indicates the company relies heavily on borrowed funds relative to its shareholder equity, which can increase financial risk and interest expense obligations, particularly in a rising interest rate environment.
  • Barrick Gold Co. exhibits a high beta of 1.63, a statistical measure of volatility that suggests the stock is significantly more volatile than the overall market, meaning investors should expect larger price swings and higher risk compared to less volatile assets.
  • The stock price of $57.95 is currently below the 50-day moving average of C$59.16, a technical indicator that often signals short-term downward momentum or weakness in the stock's price trend, suggesting that recent trading activity has been bearish.
  • Several major financial institutions have recently lowered their price targets for Barrick Gold Co., including Royal Bank of Canada cutting its target to C$49.00 and ATB Cormark Capital Markets reducing its target to C$57.00, reflecting a cautious outlook on the company's valuation and future earnings potential.
