Shares of gold mining company Newmont Mining Corp (NEM) tumbled again Friday on the back of its latest earnings report.
NEM
stock is materially lower year-to-date along with the rest of the gold
mining group. Gold prices have been flatlining for weeks, but with
Friday’s post-Japan-QE rally in stocks, they sold off more, and now the
metal is lower on the year. However, NEM stock looks increasingly
oversold and ripe for a bounce.
Specifically, Newmont Mining reported net income of $213 million,
significantly lower than the year-ago period’s $398 million. Still, the
per-share figure of 50 cents trounced the average analyst estimate for
16 cents. Meanwhile, sales dropped from $2.02 billion to $1.75 billion,
while the company’s gold producing or “sustaining” costs in the quarter
dropped from $1,018 per ounce down to $995. (more)
