Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Strong Buy Opinion On Shares Of Newmont Corporation

By

-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We lift our 12-month target price by $3 to $153, assuming an EV/EBITDA of 7.0x our 2027 EBITDA estimate, above NEM's three-year average forward EV/EBITDA of 6.5x and above peers' 6.0x. We raise our 2026 EPS estimate by $1.67 to $10.31 and our 2027 EPS forecast by $2.09 to $12.89. Newmont remains on track to deliver its 2026 guidance of 5.3 million gold ounces, though management characterizes 2026 as a trough year due to planned mine sequencing at several operations. The company is well-positioned for production growth beginning in 2027, with a longer-term outlook of approximately 6 million ounces of gold and 150,000 tonnes of copper annually. Key growth drivers include completion of Tanami Expansion 2 (2H 2027), ongoing development of Cadia panel caves, and the Ahafo North ramp-up. NEM's world-class portfolio, coupled with robust free cash flow generation in a supportive gold price environment, supports sustained capital returns through its enhanced capital allocation framework.
