If You'd Invested $1,000 In Newmont Stock 1 Year Ago, Here's How Much You'd Have Today

Newmont Corporation (NEM +0.25%) stock’s chart is easily one of the most fascinating ones I’ve ever seen.

The gold stock see-sawed for decades, touched $86 per share in mid-2022, and fell back to the ground. Newmont stock bottomed out about a year ago, and there’s been no stopping since.

If you’d invested $1,000 in Newmont stock a year ago, your money would be worth nearly $2,650 today. That’s _after _the stock’s drop over the past few days, amid the ongoing Iran war and fluctuations in gold prices.

Is Newmont stock still a buy?

Newmont now holds more cash than debt. That’s a rarity for a commodity company.

Although Newmont is guiding for a softer 2026 because of lower production, and the stock falling amid geopolitical tensions and lower gold prices, a recovery in gold could help offset lower sales volumes. A fortress balance sheet, meanwhile, should help Newmont navigate commodity cycles.
