Looking At Newmont's Recent Unusual Options Activity

<p class="wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><strong>Newmont Corporation</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>) will release its fourth-quarter financial results, after the closing bell, on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NEM/earnings">Thursday, Feb. 20.</a></p>
<p>Analysts expect the Denver, Colorado-based company to report quarterly earnings at $1.04 per share, up from 50 cents per share in the year-ago period. Newmont projects quarterly revenue of $5.3 billion, compared to $3.96 billion a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.</p>
<p>On Jan. 27, Newmont finalized a $425 million deal to sell its Porcupine mine in Ontario to Discovery Silver (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DSVSF#OTC">DSVSF</a>), thus concluding its divestment from non-core assets.</p>
<p>With the recent buzz around Newmont, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends too. As of now, Newmont offers an annual dividend yield of 2.11%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 25 cents per share ($1.00 a year). &nbsp;</p>
<p>So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly?</p>
<p><strong>To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $284,460 or around 6,000 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $56,892 or around 1,200 shares</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>To calculate: </strong>Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($1.00 in this case). So, $6,000 / $1.00 = 6,000 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $1.00 = 1,200 shares ($100 per month).</p>
<p>Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.</p>
<p><strong>How that works:</strong> The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock&#8217;s current price.</p>
<p>For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).</p>
<p>Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.</p>
<p><strong>NEM Price Action:</strong> Shares of Newmont fell 0.2% to close at $47.41 on Wednesday.</p>

<p><strong>Newmont's</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>) short percent of float has fallen 14.75% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has <strong>16.48 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 1.85% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, <strong>it would take traders 2.12 days to cover their short positions on average.</strong></p>
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.</p>

<p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1739975416_0.png" alt="short_fig" /></p>
<p>As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Newmont has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.</p>
<h3>Comparing Newmont's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
<p>Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Newmont's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.71%, which means the company has <strong>less</strong> short interest than most of its peers.</p>
<p>Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be <strong>bullish</strong> for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/"><strong>This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</strong></a></p>

How Is The Market Feeling About Newmont?

<p>With President <strong>Donald Trump</strong>'s trade war rhetoric reaching new heights, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gold">gold has emerged</a> as the go-to asset for savvy investors. </p>
<p>Its 7% surge since his inauguration and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/02/43728557/time-to-lock-in-gold-gains">recent record highs</a> make it the ultimate "Trump trade" of 2025. But for U.S. investors, this golden rally presents a unique opportunity to profit, not just from the metal itself but from a selection of stocks and ETFs poised to benefit.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gold's Bullish Surge: Why It's Happening</h2>
<p>Gold's rally isn't just fueled by political uncertainty. Trump's aggressive tariff policies are creating inflationary pressures, and as global growth slows, gold acts as a safe-haven. </p>
<p>Central banks and traders are shifting their focus to the yellow metal, further driving up its value. </p>
<p>Analysts are now targeting $3,000 per ounce, with UBS and Citigroup revising their forecasts upward, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/fb53df86-c6f0-4550-ab84-222b3a6282f4">reported</a> Financial Times.</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>SPDR Gold Shares </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>): The largest gold ETF in the world, GLD tracks the price of gold bullion and is a reliable option for investors looking to ride the surge.</li>
<li><strong>iShares Gold Trust </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IAU#NYSE">IAU</a>): Another solid choice, IAU provides a lower-cost way to gain exposure to gold's movements.</li>
<li><strong>VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>): GDX targets gold mining companies, which are expected to see growth as gold prices rise.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gold Stocks Set To Benefit From Trump Trade</h2>
<p>For those willing to venture into individual stocks, gold mining companies offer an even more leveraged play on the precious metal's climb:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Barrick Gold</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>): The world's second-largest gold miner, Barrick is benefiting from the surge in gold prices, with strong earnings expected to follow.</li>
<li><strong>Newmont Corporation</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>): As the largest gold producer in the U.S., Newmont stands to profit from the rising price of gold and growing demand for safe-haven assets.</li>
<li><strong>Kinross Gold </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KGC#NYSE">KGC</a>): Another player to watch, Kinross has seen its stock price benefit from higher gold prices, making it a solid addition to the gold-investment portfolio.</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Takeaway For U.S. Investors</h2>
<p>Gold's status as the ultimate hedge against trade tensions and inflation means U.S. investors should be taking a closer look at gold stocks and ETFs. </p>

Newmont Unusual Options Activity

<p>Gold's momentum shows no signs of slowing. The bullion – as tracked by the <strong>SPDR Gold Trust</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – continued its record-breaking run, closing at $2,860 per ounce on Wednesday, hitting the fifth straight winning session as central banks and investors pour into the metal, seeking safety amid escalating geopolitical <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">tensions and economic uncertainty</a>.</p>
<p>In a report shared Wednesday, the World Gold Council highlighted that total gold demand, including over-the-counter investment, rose 1% year-over-year in the fourth quarter, setting a new record of 4,974 tons for 2024. </p>
<p>Central banks have been leading the charge, purchasing over 1,000 tons of gold for the third consecutive year, with buying accelerating sharply in the fourth quarter to 333 tons.</p>
<p>&#8220;Central banks and investors drive market strength.Demand in value terms reached previously unseen levels,&#8221; the World Gold Council wrote. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Are Central Banks Rushing To Buy Gold?</h3>
<p>The surge in central bank gold purchases signals a strategic shift in global finance, with institutions seeking to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar amid heightened geopolitical risks. </p>
<p>The latest tensions between the U.S. and China, fueled by Donald Trump's proposed 10% import tariffs and China's retaliatory restrictions on U.S. energy imports, have only reinforced gold's status as a hedge.</p>
<p>Further compounding concerns, President Trump suggested the possibility of sending U.S. forces to the Gaza Strip, adding another layer of uncertainty that has investors flocking to the yellow metal.</p>
<p>&#8220;We believe this gold price action reflects a significant shift in the dynamics of the gold markets over the past two years,&#8221; said <strong>Imaru Casanova</strong>, portfolio manager at VanEck. &#8220;Central banks worldwide have emerged as a major driver of gold demand and gold prices, buying record amounts of gold bullion since 2022.&#8221;</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Miners Play Catch Up, Still Undervalued Despite Gold&#8217;s Rally</h3>
<p>Despite bullion's remarkable ascent, some of the world's largest gold miners have underperformed significantly.</p>
<p><strong>John Ciampaglia</strong>, CEO of Sprott Asset Management, said, &#8220;Some of the bellwethers, the largest gold miners in the world, struggled last year. <strong>Newmont Corp</strong>. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>) and <strong>Barrick Gold Corp.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>) underperformed gold quite significantly. I think that isn&#8217;t very clear for a lot of investors because the reason that you invest in gold stocks is for their operating leverage.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yet, miners have recently started catching up. The <strong>VanEck Gold Miners ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>) rallied 2.2% on Wednesday, marking its highest level since late October and extending its winning streak to six weeks &#8211; the longest since July 2020. Year-to-date, gold mining stocks have outperformed all other industries, surging 18.9%.</p>
<p>Top-performing gold miners within the GDX ETF on Wednesday included: </p>

<p><br />&nbsp;</p>


Newmont Reports Redemption Of $927.75M In Principal, Fully Retiring The 5.30% Notes Due 2026

<p><strong>Newmont Corporation </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>) has finalized a $425 million deal to sell its Porcupine mine in Ontario to <strong>Discovery Silver</strong> (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DSVSF#OTC">DSVSF</a>), thus concluding its divestment from non-core assets. This sale, consisting of $200 million in cash, $75 million in Discovery shares, and $150 million in deferred payments, is the latest step in Newmont's portfolio optimization, focusing on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mining">Tier 1 assets</a>.</p>
<p>"Today's announcement represents a significant milestone as we conclude our divestiture program," <a href="https://www.newmont.com/investors/news-release/news-details/2025/Newmont-Announces-Sale-of-Porcupine-Operation-for-up-to-425-Million/default.aspx">said</a> Newmont CEO <strong>Tom Palmer</strong>. "The proceeds from these non-core sales, totaling up to $4.3 billion, will enable us to reduce debt and return capital to shareholders."</p>
<p>Following the $19 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/05/32385120/newmont-takeovers-newcrest-in-a-largest-ever-gold-industry-deal">acquisition of Newcrest</a>, Newmont launched a divestiture program in February 2024, selling six operations and two projects across Australia, Ghana, and North America.</p>
<p>Located within the prolific Timmins gold camp, Newmont acquired Porcupine as a part of Goldcorp's portfolio in 2017. The site includes the Hoyle Pond and Pamour mines, the Dome milling facility, and the newer Borden mine. Together, the complex has contributed an average of 285,000 ounces of gold annually and holds significant exploration potential.</p>

<p>Despite divesting Porcupine, Newmont continues to maintain a strong presence in Canada. The Newcrest acquisition brought two assets within British Columbia's mineral-rich Golden Triangle—the Brucejack gold mine and a 70% stake in the Red Chris copper-gold mine.</p>
<p>Newmont has ambitious plans for Red Chris, including transitioning the operation to underground block cave mining.</p>
<p>"The thing with block cave mining is you have to do all your development work up front before you start having the cash generated from the mine," Palmer said in an <a href="https://www.biv.com/news/resources-agriculture/how-newmont-emerged-as-bcs-mining-giant-9811138">interview</a> for BIV, noting the cost estimate of $2 billion but low requirements for further capital expenditures.</p>
<p>"Once operational, the block cave project could significantly increase copper production, cementing British Columbia's position as a global leader in critical minerals," Palmer noted. He added, "We see our presence in BC extending well into the end of this century."</p>
<p>Long-term plans also include the <strong>Galore Creek</strong> project, which holds 12 billion pounds of copper reserves and is expected to increase Canada's copper production by 35%. Although this project will only commence after Red Chris is fully operational, its potential to supply critical metals aligns with the global energy transition trend, providing a lucrative diversification for a leading gold mining company.&nbsp;</p>
