Barrick Gold Q3 2016 Earnings Preview: Higher Gold Prices To Boost Results

October 25th, 2016 by Trefis Team

We expect Barrick Gold to report an improvement in its Q3 earnings, driven by an environment of elevated gold prices in the third quarter. Gold prices were sharply higher on a year-over-year basis in the third quarter this year, driven by a surge in the investment demand for gold, resulting from concerns over global economic growth and the uncertainty created by the outcome of the UK’s EU referendum. In addition to the impact of higher gold prices, the success of Barrick’s cost reduction initiatives (as a result of the sale of high-cost mines and operational improvements) will benefit the company’s bottom line. The following table summarizes our Q3 earnings expectations for Barrick Gold.
