Market Focus06-03

On June 3, Barrick Mining fell 3.03% in regular trading, trading at $41.83/share, with trading volume of $192 million.

On the news front, Royal Bank of Canada significantly cut its target price on Barrick Mining from $62 to $51, a reduction of approximately 18%, while maintaining its outperform rating. The FactSet consensus analyst mean target price stands at $57.42. The downgrade added stock-specific pressure on top of broader gold sector weakness.

The gold sector declined across the board, with Equinox Gold falling 6.25%, Coeur Mining down 5.5%, Agnico Eagle Mines dropping 2.83%, Kinross Gold losing 2.78%, and Newmont Mining declining 1.55%.

Additionally, the company is reportedly weighing a possible London listing for its African business, with an all-share transaction with Endeavour Mining also being considered as an option. Discussions remain at an early stage with no certainty of a deal materializing. Barrick had previously reported strong Q1 results with EPS of $0.98 beating estimates of $0.81 and approved a $3 billion buyback program.
