• Investors may be wondering if Newmont at around US$107.64 still offers value after a strong run, or if most of the opportunity is already reflected in the price.
• The stock is up 2.4% over the last week and 6.3% year to date, even though it is down 10.8% over the past month and has returned 105.9% over the last year and 186.8% over three years.
• Recent attention on Newmont has focused on how a sustained move in the share price compares with its fundamentals, and how it stacks up against other gold producers and materials stocks. At the same time, ongoing discussion around its position in global gold supply and large scale operations provides additional context for these returns.
• On Simply Wall St's 6 point valuation check, Newmont scores a 5 out of 6. This sets up a closer look at common valuation tools like DCFs and multiples, followed by a different way of thinking about value that will be covered at the end of this article.

Approach 1: Newmont Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis

A Discounted Cash Flow, or DCF, model estimates what a stock might be worth by projecting the company’s future cash flows and discounting them back to today’s value.

For Newmont, the model used here is a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach based on cash flow projections. The latest twelve month free cash flow is about $8.11b. Analyst inputs and subsequent extrapolations point to projected free cash flow of $9.57b in 2030, with annual figures between 2026 and 2035 ranging roughly from $9.27b to $14.22b before discounting.

Simply Wall St aggregates these cash flows, discounts them, and arrives at an estimated intrinsic value of $146.87 per share. Compared with the recent share price of about $107.64, the model implies Newmont trades at a 26.7% discount to this estimate. On this DCF view, the stock screens as undervalued.

Result: UNDERVALUED

Our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis suggests Newmont is undervalued by 26.7%. Track this in your watchlist or portfolio, or discover 48 more high quality undervalued stocks.

Approach 2: Newmont Price vs Earnings

For profitable companies, the P/E ratio is a useful way to think about what you are paying for each dollar of earnings, which makes it a common yardstick for comparing stocks that already generate consistent profit.

In simple terms, higher growth expectations or lower perceived risk can support a higher “normal” or “fair” P/E ratio, while slower growth or higher risk usually call for a lower multiple. So context matters when you look at the headline number.

Newmont trades on a P/E of about 13.59x. That sits below both the Metals and Mining industry average P/E of about 18.43x and a peer average of roughly 20.49x, which on a simple comparison suggests the stock is priced more conservatively than many listed peers.

Simply Wall St’s Fair Ratio framework goes a step further by estimating what P/E might be reasonable for Newmont given factors such as earnings growth characteristics, profit margins, industry, market cap and risk profile. Because it blends these elements into a single metric, the Fair Ratio can be more tailored than a straight comparison with industry or peer averages.

On this basis, Newmont’s Fair Ratio is 28.02x, which is higher than the current P/E of 13.59x, indicating the stock appears undervalued relative to that Fair Ratio estimate.

Result: UNDERVALUED

Upgrade Your Decision Making: Choose your Newmont Narrative

Earlier it was mentioned that there is an even better way to understand valuation. Narratives take the story you believe about Newmont, link it to explicit forecasts for revenue, earnings and margins, and then turn that into a Fair Value you can compare to the current price, all within Simply Wall St’s Community page where millions of investors share views. For example, one Newmont Narrative on the platform uses detailed assumptions to arrive at a Fair Value of about US$51.70 per share, while another, far more optimistic view, points to a Fair Value closer to US$177. This shows how different stories about gold demand, costs and capital allocation can sit side by side, update automatically as new earnings or news arrive, and help you decide whether Newmont looks cheap or expensive against your own numbers rather than relying only on a single DCF or P/E snapshot.

For Newmont however we will make it really easy for you with previews of two leading Newmont Narratives:

These sit side by side on the Community page and give you a quick sense of how different assumptions around gold prices, costs and portfolio quality translate into very different fair values for the same stock.

Fair value in this narrative: about US$110.65 per share

Implied discount to that fair value at US$107.64: about 2.7% undervalued

Revenue growth used in the model: 7.91%

• Analysts in this view see Newmont as broadly fairly priced, with a fair value close to the current share price, supported by updated assumptions for gold prices, production, margins and capital management.
• The narrative leans on refreshed Street research that points to valuation support, exposure to gold and a portfolio that generates revenue growth and net profit margins in the mid 30% range within the model.
• Key watchpoints include execution on integration, production delivery, balance sheet progress and how any changes in gold price forecasts feed back into future fair value estimates.

Fair value in this narrative: about US$51.36 per share

Implied premium to that fair value at US$107.64: about 109.6% overvalued

Revenue growth used in the model: 12.93%

• This view assumes Newmont can lift revenue to about US$19b and improve net margin to 19%, yet still concludes that the present value of those earnings supports a fair value in the low US$50s.
• The author highlights both the benefits of Newcrest, lower costs and scale, and the risks that come from higher capital expenditure, asset concentration and project execution.
• The narrative shows how applying a higher discount rate, gold price volatility and concentration risk can pull fair value well below the current share price, even when revenue growth in the model is almost 13%.

Reading both together can help you decide which story about gold, costs and capital allocation feels closer to your own assumptions, and whether Newmont looks appealing or stretched against the fair value that drops out of your numbers rather than anyone else’s.
