We enter a long position with a target price of $150 and a stop-loss of $107.
Newmont is the world's largest gold producer, generating roughly 5.5 to 5.7 million ounces (Moz) of attributable gold annually, alongside 120 to 150 kilotonnes (kt) of copper. It also produces silver, lead and zinc. Its diversified asset base spans key jurisdictions including North America, Australia, Africa, and South America, supported by substantial attributable proven and probable gold reserves of ~118.2 Moz. Costs remain competitive, with all-in sustaining costs (AISC) around $1 609/oz. in FY25 amid inflationary and integration pressures. The company operates with minimal hedging, leaving earnings highly leveraged to spot gold prices.
Technically, the price action in a developing Elliott wave 5 price action presents an attractive buying opportunity (see the number notation on the main chart as well as the insert). The apparent onset of wave 5 within the structure may further support upside potential for the stock, as Wave 5 is typically associated with the final impulsive advance within a prevailing bullish trend.
The stock also appears to be transitioning through an accumulation phase within the Wyckoff cycle, with rising volume expectations pointing to increasing institutional participation.
The stock is above its 200-day simple moving average (SMA) as well. Fading downside pressure on the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram and a rising On-Balance Volume (OBV) indicator are also bullish signals.

| Comment | The share reached the predefined stop-loss level, triggering the closure of the position. | The price is testing the lower range of an upsloping inclining channel pattern, which remains of interest. Remains below its 200-day SMA but fading downside momentum continues to support the strategy. Our profit target is $352 with a trailing stop-loss at $304. | The price action within a developing falling wedge pattern remains interesting. The price remains below its 200-day SMA and the trade is regarded as a counter-trend strategy. Fading upside momentum is a concern. Our profit target remains at $109, with a trailing stop-loss at $89. | The developing Elliott wave structure remains of interest, although the share continues trading below its 200-day SMA, making this a counter-trend strategy. Downside momentum remains a concern. Our profit target remains at $220, with a trailing stop-loss at $181. |
