Newmont Corporation is rated a buy, leveraging strong free cash flow, robust gold reserves, and an aggressive share repurchase program. NEM's Q1 2026 revenue surged 45.85% YoY, driven by higher gold prices despite a 10% production decline, with FCF up 160.91% YoY. Operational efficiency is improving as NEM divests lower-yield assets, focuses on high-return mines, and maintains a low debt/FCF ratio of 0.60.
