Antipodes Global Value Fund Portfolio Manager | “Barrick Mining rose sharply, underpinned by a fresh wave of investor enthusiasm for gold, with record bullion prices boosting revenue, margin and earnings estimates. Sentiment was further supported by strong third-quarter results, including higher gold output, record free cash flow and a 25% increase in the company's quarterly dividend. The company also delivered a better-than-expected outlook for one of its U.S. gold mines, where production, resource size and mine grade materially surprised on the upside. These operational improvements reinforced confidence in Barrick's asset quality and execution capabilities. The combination of higher commodity prices and operational leverage drove meaningful share price appreciation during the quarter. BSD Analysis: Barrick Gold enters 2026 as a premier choice among large-cap miners, distinguished by a projected free cash flow yield of approximately 12%, the highest among its peers. The company's 2026 outlook is bolstered by a convergence of positive gold price trends and disciplined operational cost-control measures. Management is exploring multiple levers to unlock value, including a potential IPO of its North American assets and the continued divestment of non-core properties in challenging jurisdictions. The company's growing copper business is providing significant revenue diversification, positioning Barrick as a key beneficiary of the global energy transition. With gold expected to remain a central hedge against persistent inflation and geopolitical instability, Barrick's high-quality asset base is well-positioned for a valuation re-rating. For investors, the stock offers a combination of reliable production, strategic exploration upside, and a commitment to returning capital through share buybacks.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
Antipodes Global Fund Antipodes Partners Limited | “Barrick Mining rose sharply, underpinned by a fresh wave of investor enthusiasm for gold, with record bullion prices boosting revenue, margin and earnings estimates. Sentiment was further supported by strong third-quarter results, including higher gold output, record free cash flow and a 25% increase in the company's quarterly dividend. Similarly over the Quarter, newly formed mid-tier Canadian gold producer Hemlo Mining completed its first gold pour at the Hemlo gold mine since acquiring the operation from Barrick Mining, underscoring the continuity and resilience of mining and processing operations throughout the ownership transition. BSD Analysis: Barrick's moat is scale, tier-one assets, and operational discipline in a business where geology and politics decide outcomes. Gold prices drive sentiment, but asset quality drives survival when cycles turn. Jurisdictional exposure is a feature and a risk—resource nationalism never disappears, it just sleeps. Capital discipline has improved, yet mining remains capex-hungry and unforgiving of mistakes. Copper adds diversification and optionality, but also complexity. Cost inflation can quietly erode margins even in strong gold tape. The bull case is sustained gold strength with stable geopolitics and disciplined spend. The bear case is political interference or cost blowouts overwhelming metal prices. Barrick works as a real-asset hedge—never as a predictable compounder.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
