Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
Zacks Model
Our proven model predicts an earnings beat for Newmont this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earning beat.
Earnings ESP: Earnings ESP for Newmont is +3.59%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fourth quarter is currently pegged at 76 cents. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Zacks Rank: Newmont currently carries a Zacks Rank #3.
What Do the Estimates Say?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter consolidated revenues for Newmont is currently pegged at $3,340 million, which calls for a decline of around 1.2% year over year.
Some Factors to Watch For
The company’s fourth-quarter results are expected to have benefited from sequentially higher realized gold prices. Gold suffered a roughly 3.5% loss in value in 2021 largely due to vaccine rollouts, optimism over economic recovery, lower investment demand and consistent dollar strength.
However, the yellow metal rallied roughly 4% in the fourth quarter amid the surge in the Omicron variant across the globe and worries over inflation. Higher average realized gold prices are expected to have aided Newmont’s performance in the fourth quarter.
Strong performance in South America is also expected to have supported the company’s fourth-quarter results. The Merian mine is likely to have delivered higher tons mined and grades in the quarter. Cerro Negro is expected to have delivered improved productivity and performance despite the coronavirus-related challenges. Yanacocha is also likely to have achieved higher grades, offsetting pandemic-induced impacts.
Strong production across Akyem and Ahafo is also expected to have driven results in the company’s Africa operation in the fourth quarter. Performance at Penasquito in North America is also likely to have been supported by higher tons mined and an improvement in recovery rates. However, pandemic-related absenteeism and a tighter Canadian labor market are expected to have affected performance across Musselwhite and Eleonore mines. In Australia, performance across Tanami and Boddington mines is likely to have been aided by higher grades in the to-be-reported quarter.
Here are some companies in the basic materials space you may want to consider as our model shows these too have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this quarter:
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Mosaic’s fourth-quarter earnings has been stable in the past 30 days. The consensus estimate for MOS’s earnings for the quarter is currently pegged at $1.95.
