On August 17, Barrick Mining Corporation rose 3.03% in regular trading, trading at $42.88 USD/share, with turnover of $139 million.
On the news front, JPMorgan raised its target price for Barrick Mining Corporation to $52, implying approximately 21% upside from the current share price. The upgrade coincided with renewed bullish momentum in the gold market, as the Bank of Korea disclosed purchases of approximately $250 million in SPDR Gold Trust shares during Q2 — its first gold-related investment in 13 years — reinforcing the global central bank gold accumulation narrative.
On the fundamental side, Barrick reported Q2 revenue of $5.292 billion, up 44% year-over-year, with net income rising 50% and adjusted EBITDA margins at 60%. The company also reached a $1.95 billion settlement with Newmont resolving all Nevada Gold Mines disputes, while management indicated its North American gold assets IPO is \"very close.\" Deutsche Bank separately noted gold remains in an \"explosive\" rally phase, targeting $4,700-$5,100/oz by year-end, driven by record central bank demand and renewed ETF inflows.
