Key Considerations

• 📊 The multi year Cerro Negro expansion ties Newmont more closely to Argentina and to gold price swings that are currently influenced by geopolitical events.
• 📊 It may be useful to monitor project timing, capex guidance, and how cash flows at a US$116.29 share price compare with the analyst target of about US$140.38 and the current 17.8x P/E.
