Newmont's shares fell 14.7% after Q3 2024 results due to higher costs and lower sales growth.

Newmont's shares fell 14.7% after its Q3 2024 results, despite high gold prices. The decline stemmed from investor disappointment over production costs and lower sales growth (4.6%) compared to rising costs (7.1%). While the company reported $760 million in free cash flow and paid a $0.25 dividend, its stock buybacks and shareholder returns exceeded cash flow. Investors may have reacted to heightened expectations rather than poor performance.
