On August 27, Barrick Mining Corporation declined 3.01% in regular trading, trading at $47.425 per share, with turnover of $369 million.
The decline occurred amid broad-based weakness across the gold mining sector, as gold prices continued to pull back from recent historical highs, triggering profit-taking in precious metals equities. The sector-wide selloff weighed on all major gold miners, with Wheaton Precious Metals down 4.35%, Agnico Eagle Mines down 4.07%, Anglogold Ashanti down 3.93%, Newmont Mining down 2.03%, and Coeur Mining down 1.0%.
Barrick reported Q2 results on August 10 with adjusted EPS of $0.82, missing the consensus estimate of $0.88, though revenue of $5.29 billion beat expectations. The company also settled all disputes with Newmont for $1.95 billion, clearing the path for its planned North American gold assets IPO, which has faced some investor opposition regarding the partial sale of its best assets.
