In short
- Thesis
- Investors pay a premium for the high gold price, the buybacks and the planned listing of North American Barrick, and only a high gold price with a successful listing can earn it.
- Gap
- Can close. The offering of North American Barrick and the Q4 2026 report in February 2027 show whether the assets and the gold price support the premium.
Company guidance: Gold production of 2.90 million to 3.25 million ounces and copper of 190,000 to 220,000 tonnes for 2026 (, Q3 2026 results (6-K))
Price history
About
Barrick Mining (Barrick) mines gold and copper in 17 countries. Its largest assets are Nevada Gold Mines, a joint venture in which it owns 61.5% and Newmont owns 38.5%, and the Pueblo Viejo mine in the Dominican Republic, in which it owns 60%. Other mines include Loulo-Gounkoto in Mali, Kibali in the Democratic Republic of Congo, North Mara and Bulyanhulu in Tanzania, Veladero in Argentina and the Lumwana copper mine in Zambia. In Q3 2026, Barrick produced 816 thousand ounces of gold on an attributable basis, of which 497 thousand came from North America, and 50 thousand tonnes of copper.
Revenue was $5,073 million. Barrick reports in U.S. dollars. Its shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and on the New York Stock Exchange. Barrick plans to list its North American gold assets as a separate company, North American Barrick, through an initial public offering.
The head office is in Toronto. Mark Hill is President and Chief Executive Officer.
Thesis
Barrick trades above its intrinsic value because investors pay for the high gold price, its large buybacks and the planned listing of its North American gold assets. In Q3 2026, the realized gold price was $4,243 per ounce, revenue rose 22% to $5,073 million, and adjusted net earnings per share rose 41% to $0.82. Barrick bought back $1,970 million of shares in 2026 to the end of Q3 under its $3.0 billion program.
For the shares to earn this price, three things must be true. The gold price must stay near its 2026 level, because all-in sustaining costs rose to $1,911 per ounce in Q3 2026. The initial public offering of North American Barrick, expected in Q4 2026 or early 2027, must show a high value for those assets.
The mines outside North America, such as Loulo-Gounkoto in Mali, must keep their production without new disputes with governments. The registration statement for the offering, planned for November 2026, and the Q4 2026 report, expected in February 2027, are the next tests. A fall in the gold price can make the premium hard to keep.

Risks
- Earnings move with the gold and copper prices. In Q3 2026, the realized gold price was $4,243 per ounce, and all-in sustaining costs were $1,911 per ounce. A lower gold price can cut earnings and cash flow fast.
- Many mines are in countries with political and security risks. The Loulo-Gounkoto mine in Mali was shut for close to 12 months from January 2025 during a dispute with the government, and Barrick slowed the Reko Diq project in Pakistan in 2026 because of security risks.
- The offering of North American Barrick depends on markets and approvals. After it, Barrick holds part of its best assets through another listed company, and the structure becomes more complex.
- Costs rise with diesel prices, royalties and local currencies. Barrick also spends heavily on projects such as the Lumwana expansion, with total attributable capital spending of $3.8 billion to $4.2 billion expected for 2026.
- The total estimated cost and timeline of the Reko Diq project can increase significantly. Capitalized spending on the project was $1,497 million to the end of Q3 2026, on a 100% basis.
