Newmont posts record Q3 adjusted net income and reaffirms 2026 production guidance

Newmont Corporation reported third‑quarter 2026 results with adjusted net income of $2.3 billion and free cash flow of $1.9 billion. The miner produced about 1.3 million attributable gold ounces and confirmed its full‑year target of 5.3 million ounces. It also announced a quarterly dividend of $0.26 per share and gave an update on the Red Chris Block Cave and Tanami Expansion 2 projects.

The strong earnings and cash generation support Newmont's dividend and share‑repurchase program, which may enhance per‑share returns for investors. Maintaining the 2026 production outlook signals continued revenue potential from higher gold prices.
