- Newmont Sinks 4%4 Despite Record Third-Quarter Profit as Gold Slides Back Toward $4,000
Newmont (NEM) shares fell 4% today despite record third-quarter results, with adjusted EPS of $2.20 beating the $1.94 consensus by 13%. Gold slid nearly 3% on Thursday to about $4,020 an ounce, its lowest since early August, and briefly dipped below $4,000 this morning, dragging down the stock and the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX). Newmont sold gold at an average of $4,317 an ounce in the quarter, but its 2026 guidance assumes $4,500, and fourth-quarter AISC is expected to rise to $1,900 an ounce as development spending on the Red Chris project increases by about $500 million next year. At $4,000 gold and $1,900 AISC, the company would keep about $2,100 an ounce, close to its 2025 level, though the author expects 2027–2028 estimates to drift lower if gold stays near $4,000. The author argues the selloff is overdone, with the stock trading around 11x forward earnings versus a five-year average of 16x.
- NEM Q3 Earnings Beat Estimates on Higher Gold Prices, Strong Sales
Newmont (NEM) reported third-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of $2.2 per share, up 28.7% year over year and 13.4% above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.94. Revenue rose 15.2% to $6.36 billion, 5.9% above estimates, as higher realized gold prices offset lower gold volumes. Attributable gold production was about 1.3 million ounces, down 8.5%, while the average realized gold price rose about 22% to $4,317 per ounce. Operating cash flow increased 20.5% to $2.77 billion, and cash and equivalents reached $8.83 billion at the end of September 2026. Newmont kept its 2026 gold production guidance of about 5.26 million ounces and adjusted its cost outlook, while El Niño-related water conditions at Lihir could affect production and costs.
- Alkane Resources - Quarterly Report - September 2026
Alkane Resources' quarterly report for the September 2026 quarter (Q1 FY27) shows gold-equivalent production of 40,740 AuEq oz at an AISC of $2,805/AuEq oz, with mine operating cash flow of $102 million and gold-equivalent sales of 38,348 oz generating $206 million in revenue at an average gold price of $5,128/oz. The company reaffirmed FY27 production guidance of 163-177koz gold equivalent at an AISC of $2,900-$3,200 per ounce. Cash, bullion and listed investments totalled $459 million after $13 million in income tax payments, with final FY26 income tax payments of $55-60 million expected in the December quarter. Alkane paid its maiden fully franked dividend of 2 cents per share and approved a $50 million buyback in September 2026. CEO Nic Earner said AISC came in below the full-year cost guidance range.

- Newmont Q3 Earnings Call Highlights
Newmont reported a stable third quarter, generating $1.9 billion of free cash flow in the quarter and $7.3 billion over the first nine months of 2026. The company returned about $1.9 billion to shareholders and improved its full-year all-in sustaining cost outlook to approximately $1,520 per ounce, while gold all-in sustaining costs were $1,454 per ounce in the third quarter. It expects fourth-quarter gold production of 1.4 million ounces, its strongest quarter of 2026, but all-in sustaining costs are expected to rise to about $1,900 per ounce due to the timing of sustaining capital, lower silver co-product credits at Peñasquito and fuel costs. Total portfolio production is projected to rise by a low- to mid-single-digit percentage in 2027, and a funding decision on the Red Chris Block Cave project is expected early next year, with commercial production targeted for 2033.
- Gold miners face margin pressure as lower prices complicate third-quarter results
RBC Capital Markets says gold producers face a mixed third-quarter earnings season, as lower gold prices and higher costs pressure margins, partly offset by expected production gains. Average gold prices fell 6% quarter over quarter to $4,266 an ounce in Q3 from $4,513 in Q2, a second straight quarter of margin pressure. RBC stresses that execution through year-end matters, since many companies have production weighted to Q4. It also warns that consensus estimates for 2027 capital spending and costs look too low, raising the risk of downward revisions. Investors will focus on operational delivery and whether miners boost growth spending and acquisitions, though producers remain financially strong.

- What Could Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) Gain From An Early AI Funding Round?
Berkshire Hathaway is reportedly in talks to join an early equity funding round for Meta's AI projects, which would give Meta outside capital instead of relying solely on internal resources. The article notes that Berkshire, a diversified group with a market cap of about $1.2 trillion, generates much of its capital from insurance, freight rail and utilities, and previously showed interest in a large AI-related capital raise through an Alphabet equity deal. It says a Meta deal would signal Berkshire putting money into big tech infrastructure rather than only holding listed shares. Key questions are whether Berkshire actually takes part and on what terms, and whether management begins quantifying its AI-related exposure in future disclosures.
- Tesla (TSLA) Starts Semi Volume Output With $2.8 Billion AI Component Bet

- Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng: Tax Exemption for School and Hospital Meal Providers to Improve Service Quality
At the National Assembly delegation group session on October 23, Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng proposed exempting corporate and personal income tax for businesses providing meals to schools and hospitals, saying the revenue lost is small relative to the policy's benefits. The Ministry of Finance is still reviewing the exact figure. He stressed that tax incentives cannot replace food safety requirements, and providers must still fully comply with hygiene regulations. He also agreed that the proposed 0.2% tax on abandoned land needs further review to clarify its scope and avoid overlap with the Land Law, and that the revised Bidding Law should clarify its boundary with specialised laws, especially for medical procurement.
- Expenses deductible when determining corporate income tax taxable income
The Cần Thơ Tax Department advised Ms. Dương Vy Thảo that monthly production allowances and production remuneration paid by a public non-business unit that partially self-funds recurrent expenses (group 3) to staff directly involved in production and to managers may be counted as deductible expenses when determining corporate income tax taxable income. Under Decree No. 320/2025/NĐ-CP, the expense must be actually incurred, supported by sufficient invoices and documents, and paid by non-cash means for transactions of 05 million VND or more. Salaries and allowances payable but not actually paid by the annual tax finalization filing deadline are not deductible, unless the enterprise has set up a salary reserve fund capped at 17% of the actual salary fund. The unit should review beneficiaries, payment levels, approval authority and documents, and align with the financial autonomy regime applicable to it.
