On June 5, Barrick Mining fell 3.53% in regular trading, trading at $40.82/share, with trading volume of $114 million. The gold sector faced renewed broad-based selling pressure, dragging individual stocks lower across the board.
The decline comes as the gold mining sector experienced another wave of systemic selling. Among sector peers, Coeur Mining fell 8.01%, Pan American Silver fell 5.81%, Kinross fell 4.90%, Newmont Mining fell 4.58%, and Agnico Eagle Mines fell 4.37%. The move also follows Royal Bank of Canada's recent significant target price cut for Barrick from $62 to $51, a reduction of approximately 18%, while maintaining an outperform rating. FactSet consensus analyst target price stands at $57.42.
Additionally, the company is reportedly considering a London listing for its African business, with discussions still at an early stage and no certainty of a deal materializing. Despite Barrick's Q1 earnings significantly beating expectations with revenue of $5.22 billion (up 67% YoY) and adjusted EPS of $0.98 versus the $0.81 consensus, along with its ongoing $3 billion share buyback program, short-term sector-wide pressure continues to dominate price action.
