Newmont (NEM) rose 9.9% in one day to $118.11 after a third-quarter report showing higher sales and net income, lower reported costs and upgraded full-year production guidance. The stock is up 16.69% year to date, with a 1-year total shareholder return of 46.05% and a 3-year return of about 2.6x, supported by firmer gold prices, improved guidance and a maintained dividend. The article notes bulls cite stronger earnings and guidance, while bears argue the recent jump prices in too much. One widely followed narrative puts fair value at $137.07 per share, above the $118.11 close. Cited risks include lower-grade ore at key sites and higher sustaining capex that could squeeze future free cash flow.

- What Is The One Risk Every Newmont Investor Should Know?
Newmont (NEM) shares returned 36.4% over the past year versus 15.0% for the S&P 500, and the latest quarter brought in $1.91 billion of free cash flow. Management expects unit costs to rise in 2027 due to macroeconomic headwinds and lower co-product credits, mainly from silver at Penasquito, where output is expected to be roughly 30% lower than in 2026 because of mine sequencing. Labor costs are expected to rise by more than the roughly 3% assumed for 2026. All-in sustaining costs are expected to reach $1,900 per ounce in fiscal Q4 2026, up from $1,450 in fiscal Q3. The next report is expected in February 2027, when investors will watch the all-in sustaining cost per ounce against about $1,520 for 2026.

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.
- NEM Q3 Earnings Call Highlights 2027 Growth and Cost Pressures
Newmont (NEM) expects gold production to recover in 2027 after this year's trough, with total portfolio output rising by a low- to mid-single-digit percentage, and remains on track for its 2026 target of about 5.3 million attributable gold ounces. Full-year 2026 all-in sustaining cost (AISC) guidance was lowered to about $1,520 per ounce, but fourth-quarter costs are expected at about $1,900 per ounce. For 2027, unit costs may rise on inflation, a roughly 30% drop in Peñasquito silver output and labor cost escalation above the roughly 3% assumed for 2026. The Red Chris project, with development capital of $4.2 billion to $4.8 billion on a 100% basis, is expected to reach a final investment decision early in 2027, with commercial production targeted for 2033.

- NEM to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in the Offing for the Stock?
NEM (Newmont) is set to report third-quarter 2026 results after the close on October 22, and Zacks' model predicts Newmont will beat earnings estimates. The company has beaten Zacks Consensus earnings estimates in each of the last four quarters, averaging a 24.8% surprise; the current-quarter consensus is $1.96 per share and sales of $6,010.3 million, up 8.8% year over year. Higher realized gold prices are expected to support revenue, but weaker production and higher costs could weigh; second-quarter attributable gold output fell about 13% year over year, and 2026 production is seen at 5.26 million ounces versus 5.89 million in 2025. The 2026 all-in sustaining cost guidance, on a by-product basis, is $1,680 per ounce, up from $1,358 in 2025. NEM shares have gained 27.5% in a year, outperforming the 3.9% rise of the Zacks Mining – Gold industry.
- Has Discovery Mining (TSX:DSV) Stock Earned Its Premium After New Permits?
Discovery Mining's share price has gained 1,688.7% over the past three years, raising the question of whether current earnings can justify its valuation. Fresh permits for the Cordero project and planned gold production at the Porcupine Complex could shift the timing and scale of future cash flows. The stock trades on a P/E of 26.7x, roughly double the Metals and Mining sector average of 13.4x but below the peer group average of 37.8x. Using a tailored fair-value model that weighs growth, profitability, size and risk, the article says the 26.7x P/E screens as overvalued compared with what that framework would typically assign to this profile. It argues the Cordero and Porcupine milestones are already reflected in the price, so investors need to judge whether earnings can justify paying above that modelled level.

Latest news
- Reddit Sinks 8% as Social Ad Worries Deepen in Tech Rout
Reddit (RDDT) shares fell 8% amid a broad tech selloff, after Snap reported only 4% ad revenue growth in the third quarter. The article argues Snap's slowdown is largely its own issue, since Meta's third-quarter revenue rose 26% to $64.6 billion. The bigger risk for Reddit is lost search traffic from Google's AI answers, which contributed to fourth-quarter revenue guidance of $1.00 billion to $1.03 billion, below expectations. Reddit's third-quarter revenue still rose 53% to $895 million, though analysts trimmed their 2027 revenue estimate to $4.34 billion from $4.47 billion. The article names the data-licensing renewal with Google, due in early 2027, as the next key test.
- Amazon-Uber Eats Deal Sends DASH Stock To Biggest Drop In A Year
DoorDash (DASH) shares fell 10% on Thursday after Amazon and Uber Technologies (UBER) announced a partnership giving Prime members free delivery on Uber Eats restaurant orders of $25 or more placed through Amazon's website or app, across the U.S. The deal replaces Amazon's previous Grubhub partnership, and Amazon estimates frequent users could save more than $175 a year, though service fees still apply. The article argues the arrangement gives Uber Eats immediate access to Amazon's large Prime base, raising competition for DoorDash, which holds a dominant share of U.S. restaurant delivery spending. Less than two weeks earlier, DoorDash agreed to acquire Instacart (CART) for roughly $17 billion, or $65 per share, with closing expected in late 2027 or early 2028. DASH stock is down 22% year to date.
- Amazon.com (AMZN) Could Gain From Slower AI Data Center Expansion
The article says Democrats' win in the 2026 U.S. midterm elections on November 5, 2026 could bring tighter scrutiny of AI infrastructure spending and new limits on large data center expansion, which could favor cloud providers such as Amazon that already operate substantial computing capacity. It cites Amazon's US$225b in Trainium commitments and US$578b backlog, against guided 2026 capex of about US$220b. The suggested early indicator is whether that backlog and new AI deals show up in AWS usage growth and operating cash flow. The article also flags that higher regulatory friction around power and tax treatment could weigh on free cash flow if the economics of AI spending shift.
- Top Democrats call to rein in AI buildout after midterms sweep: 'National data center moratorium now'
After Democrats' midterm wins on Tuesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders called for a national data center moratorium, pointing to local referendums where voters approved restrictions on data centers. A CNBC Voter Poll found 56% of voters said AI and data centers were a crucial or major factor in their vote, and 65% of those voters backed a Democratic congressional candidate. Gina Hinojosa, who ousted Gov. Greg Abbott in Texas, pledged a moratorium on all data center approvals until the legislature passes protective laws. Chip stocks led the sell-off, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) tumbling nearly 9% on Tuesday, Nvidia down 8% and Advanced Micro Devices down more than 14%.
- 3 Stocks Riding The Shift Away From Search Ads
The article reviews three stocks that could benefit from, or be hurt by, a shift away from search advertising after signs of weakness in Alphabet's search business. Nexxen International, a video and CTV ad platform with about $383 million in revenue and a $486 million market cap, is one. AppLovin, an AI-powered mobile ad platform with about US$6.8b in advertising revenue and a market cap of US$82.2b, saw its stock fall nearly 50% while an SEC investigation was open. The SEC dropped that case in August 2026 with no findings of wrongdoing. MNTN, a self-serve Connected TV ad platform with about $313 million in revenue and a $728 million market cap, is the third, with customer acquisition timing that may vary by quarter.
- Navitas Sinks 15% as AI Chip Stocks Slide After Midterms
Navitas Semiconductor (NVTS) fell 15% today, along with STMicroelectronics, onsemi and Microchip Technology, as AI chip stocks extended losses on concern that Democrats' midterm wins could slow the AI buildout. The decline came without company-specific news, a day after Navitas rose on a third-quarter beat, with revenue of $14.0 million, up 33% from the second quarter. Breakeven now requires more than $60 million in quarterly revenue, against $16 million guided for the fourth quarter, while fourth-quarter operating expenses are $25.0 million. Navitas expects AI infrastructure revenue to roughly triple in 2027, but at about 28x forward sales after the drop, the stock sits near its three-year average of 31x. NVIDIA's November 17 report is the next read on the 800-volt timing that Navitas's growth depends on.
