The Latest Q&A

Question asked

Newmont Corp

I'd be interested to hear your latest/updated thoughts on NEM please? In July MM comments were how 'markets hate misses' but 'all bad news seems to be built in'. An update last month indicated there could be some consolidation to be expected before pushing higher. However NEM is back at it (missing guidance) again given back the last 4 months of great gains. Is this beast that can't change its habit of a decade and should be dropped until management can do better? Are investors over it having given it one last chance, has there been an overreaction based on previous experience, or something else? Lastly, with ex-dividend approaching is this a good time to 'pull the pin'?

Answer

Hi Mike,

Last month saw NEM endure its worst session since the GFC on another earnings miss, the only positive from the disappointing 3rd quarter report, which came in well short of expectations due to higher costs, was the company increasing its buyback to $US3bn as they tried unsuccessfully to appease shareholders. At this stage, the company has given us no reason to own it, reinforcing our concerns around the challenging nature of their assets along with the complexity inherent in such a large group.
