Gold.com (NYSE:GOLD) Releases Quarterly Earnings Results, Beats Estimates By $0.21 EPS

Gold.com (NYSE:GOLD) posted its earnings results on Thursday. The company reported $0.91 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, topping analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.70 by $0.21, Zacks reports. Gold.com had a return on equity of 6.25% and a net margin of 0.06%.

Here are the key takeaways from Gold.com’s conference call:

• We delivered record free cash flow and other financial highs in 2025, returned capital via a $1.5 billion buyback and a materially higher dividend, and the board adopted a new dividend policy targeting a 50% payout of attributable free cash flow.
• An operational review led to organizational changes (including moving PV into North America, new leadership and a CTO), bottom-up mine plans and stronger confidence in 2026 guidance after improved performance at Carlin, PV throughput records and Lumwana ramping up.
• Safety remains a material concern after four fatalities in 2025; management says safety is the top priority for 2026 and will change remuneration and bonus structures to emphasize safety first.
• Pascua‑Lama/PV recoveries are below original feasibility (currently ~75–76% vs 90% in the feasibility study), the company now targets ~84% LOM recovery, has extended life of mine, and will publish an updated 43‑101 at the end of February with more detail.
• The board approved preparations for an IPO of Barrick’s North American gold assets aiming for late‑2026 (likely a minority 10–15% offering per comments) to unlock value, but specifics on size, structure and governance remain under development.
