Recent share performance and business scale

Newmont (NEM) has seen its stock pull back, with the price down about 8% over the past day, 9% over the past week and 13% over the past month.

Over longer periods the stock shows gains, with total returns of about 92% over the past year, a little over 1.5x over three years and around 64% over five years.

The company reports annual revenue of about US$24.97b and net income of roughly US$8.46b, with both revenue and earnings growth figures reported as positive on an annual basis.

The recent pullback, including a 30 day share price return of down about 13%, comes after a strong 1 year total shareholder return of around 92%. This suggests that near term momentum is cooling after a powerful rebound.

With Newmont’s share price pulling back but the stock still showing strong multi year total returns, the key question now is whether recent weakness has left it undervalued or if the market is already pricing in future growth potential.

Most Popular Narrative: 9.9% Undervalued

Newmont's most followed valuation narrative puts fair value at about $110.65 per share, compared with the last close of $99.71. This frames the recent pullback as a potential discount.

Analysts have lifted their price expectations for Newmont, with our fair value estimate moving from about US$104.53 to roughly US$110.65. This change is supported by refreshed gold price forecasts, updated metals pricing assumptions, and views that production, free cash flow, and capital management remain supportive, even as the macro backdrop for commodities stays challenging.

Want to see what sits behind that higher fair value line? The narrative leans on specific revenue growth assumptions, profit margins, and a future earnings multiple that is usually reserved for stronger growth profiles. It also highlights which of those levers drives most of the model and how much headroom it assumes on gold linked cash flows.

Result: Fair Value of $110.65 (UNDERVALUED)

However, this narrative can break if safety incidents like Red Chris disruptions or higher sustaining and development capital spending begin to pressure margins and cash generation.
