The settlement also includes a separate industry-standard wage increase of 8% for 2023. As an InvestingPro Tip suggests, the workers will receive a bonus if no profit is realized in 2023, which is a likely scenario as the company has not been profitable over the last twelve months.

The Peñasquito mine, a significant producer of gold, zinc, and lead in fiscal year 2022, will require several weeks to restore stable operations. The output from the mine was crucial to the supply of these commodities last year, signaling the importance of returning to full-scale production promptly.

The company is expected to provide more details about production stabilization during its third-quarter results announcement on October 26, 2023. Analysts are projecting an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.47 on $2.9 billion in revenue, indicating an improvement from the previous year’s EPS of $0.27. This aligns with an InvestingPro Tip that predicts the company will be profitable this year, despite a declining trend in earnings per share and revenue that has been declining at an accelerating rate.

Newmont’s stock currently holds a Moderate Buy consensus rating with a NEM price target of $51.40, suggesting a potential upside of 30.4%. This is slightly below the InvestingPro fair value of $44.48 USD. Despite the company’s recent challenges, Newmont has maintained dividend payments for 53 consecutive years, as pointed out by InvestingPro Tips, with a current dividend yield of 4.06%.
