Barrick Mining Falls as Rising Costs Overshadow Strong Quarterly Profit Growth

Barrick Mining Corporation (B) is down 6.1% today. Here is some analysis on what might have caused this price movement.

Analysis: The selloff appears tied to a post-earnings reassessment after investors looked past higher revenue and earnings and focused on cost inflation across Barrick’s gold and copper operations. Weakness in gold prices on November 10 likely added pressure to sentiment around the stock.

Details:

Barrick posted third-quarter revenue of $5.07 billion, net earnings of $1.32 billion, and adjusted earnings of $0.82 per share, while keeping its full-year gold and copper production guidance unchanged.

Operating costs rose sharply from a year earlier, with gold all-in sustaining costs reaching $1,911 per ounce and copper all-in sustaining costs climbing to $4.52 per pound.

The company linked the cost pressure to lower grades, higher royalties tied to stronger realized gold prices, elevated diesel prices, and local currency appreciation, especially in labor costs.

This could also be because gold prices fell more than 2% on November 10 after hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation data lifted the dollar and Treasury yields, creating a tougher backdrop for gold miners.
