Gold has pulled back from its all-time highs but remains elevated, trading well above $4,500 an ounce. In the first quarter it was even higher, which means record free cash flows for most of the miners again. Newmont Corp. (NEM) has beat five quarters in a row, highlights Tracey Ryniec, senior stock strategist at Zacks Investment Research.
This big cap gold miner is expected to grow earnings by 28.2% in 2026. Shares of Newmont are up only 9.5% year-to-date as they have sold off from recent highs during the Iran War. Newmont is cheap, with a forward P/E of just 13. Will Newmont report a record quarter?
