- AEM Q3 Earnings Beat Estimates on Higher Gold Prices
Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM) reported adjusted Q3 2026 earnings of $2.61 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.47 by 5.7%. Revenue rose 17.1% year over year to $3.58 billion, helped by realized gold prices averaging $4,264 per ounce, up 22.7%. Payable gold production fell 6.1% to 814,012 ounces, mainly due to lower output at Canadian Malartic and Meadowbank, while total cash costs per ounce rose 19% to $1,133. Free cash flow declined 28.4% to $852 million, and the company returned $478 million to shareholders. Agnico Eagle reaffirmed its 2026 guidance, expecting gold production near the lower end of its 3.3 to 3.5 million ounce range.
- 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.
- 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.
- RBC flags downside risks for gold shares ahead of quarterly results
RBC Capital Markets expects a mixed third-quarter reporting season for gold producers, as average gold prices fell 6% quarter on quarter to US$4,266 an ounce, a second consecutive quarterly decline, while elevated energy prices add to costs. RBC expects modest production gains and slightly lower all-in sustaining costs for the producers it covers, though inflation will limit the benefit. Its main risk lies in 2027 forecasts, where it expects all-in sustaining costs to rise 4% and capital expenditure 16%, above consensus of no cost growth and an 8% rise in capital spending, citing higher energy and labour costs, possible lower ore grades and more discretionary spending. Producers remain financially strong, with many in net cash and near-record free cash flow, and RBC sees valuations as 'reasonable' at 1.1 times price to net asset value, with free cash flow yields of 6% to 7% for 2026 and 2027. However, it warns that weaker gold prices, elevated earnings expectations and execution risks could weigh on shares.
- Gold Has Cooled From Its First-Quarter Record, Yet Miners Still Sold Ounces at Prices More Than 20% Above Last Year
Gold's third-quarter average was $4,262 an ounce, about 23% above the same quarter of 2025, but it has fallen for two straight quarters from a first-quarter record of $4,872.90. The LBMA Gold Price PM was $3,913.25 on October 30. The World Gold Council linked September's decline to rising Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar after the Fed's rate increase, though the 10-year yield has since eased from 5.29% to 4.94%. Buying has held up, with gold-backed ETFs taking in a record $31 billion in the third quarter and central banks buying 289 tonnes in the second quarter. Four gold miners reported realized prices more than 20% above a year earlier.
- China reports sharp increase in gold, nickel and strategic minerals - Xinhua
China reported sharp increases in its gold, nickel and other strategic mineral reserves after a nationwide reassessment, according to Xinhua. Rhenium resources rose more than 200%, while gold and nickel reserves grew by amounts equal to 50 and 30 large deposits, respectively. The yearlong survey covered 17 strategic minerals at more than 1,800 operating mines and mining areas across 27 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, including associated and lower-grade deposits. Separately, China found its first paleofluvial-lacustrine zircon placer deposit in Baicheng, Xinjiang, which could substantially boost domestic zircon supply. The increases reflect revised resource estimates rather than necessarily new discoveries.

- Apple tried to 'sit out' AI, and now it's paying the price
Luke Kawa of Sherwood News and the show's hosts discuss Apple's latest quarterly earnings. He argues Apple has largely sat out the AI boom, and that slowing Google search trends are now showing up in Apple's results and weighing on its services business. China revenue missed expectations by about $1 billion, and the guidance was seen as the key takeaway, since the weaker news came on the call rather than in the press release. Turnus, leading his first earnings call, said memory prices are unprecedented and expected to rise further in the December quarter, and that Apple's memory purchasing obligations increased by 33 billion between the June and September quarters. After hours, Apple shares fell while semiconductor stocks rose.
- Ethereum Privacy Network Aztec Rolls Out Major Security and Speed Upgrade
Aztec, the privacy-focused layer-2 network on Ethereum, has launched the Aztec Tierra upgrade (Alpha V6), which fixes a critical vulnerability from the previous version and adds security hardening, including AI-powered security testing and formal verification of core cryptographic components. A new architecture cuts Ethereum-to-Aztec message delivery from an average of two minutes to as little as 12 seconds, while private transactions now generate client-side proofs in about one second on a standard device, twice as fast as before. The upgrade brings private apps for payments, trading, AI and social, led by zk.money, which Aztec Labs revived this year.
- Enterprise AI spending exploded in 2026: Report
According to a Menlo Ventures report, enterprises have spent $176.8 billion on AI services year to date, 5.4 times the $33 billion spent through 2025. About 69% of that revenue went to Anthropic, Google and OpenAI, based on a survey of roughly 400 US enterprise decision-makers. The share of companies using AI rose from 55% to 65%, and the report attributes the sharp rise in spending largely to AI agents running longer and more complex tasks. Agents account for 80% of all AI tokens generated, roughly 7 times that of humans, based on OpenRouter data. So far in 2026, coding accounts for 44% of enterprise AI spending and chatbots 32%, while healthcare takes 5% and customer success 3%.
