Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
What do B’s Revenue Estimates Indicate?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Barrick’s second-quarter consolidated sales is currently pegged at $4,487.7 million, calling for an increase of 21.9% from the year-ago quarter’s tally.
Factors Shaping B’s Q2 Results
Higher realized gold prices are likely to have supported the company’s performance in the second quarter. While gold prices have pulled back sharply from their January 2026 highs, they remain supportive.
Heightened geopolitical tensions, a weaker U.S. dollar and tariff-related worries drove bullion to a record high of nearly $5,600 per ounce in late January. Since then, gold has pulled back sharply due to inflation concerns triggered by a surge in crude oil prices amid Middle East tensions. While gold started April near $4,800 per ounce, prices tumbled to $4,500 per ounce around the end of May.
Bullion continued to retreat in June, with prices slipping below $4,000 per ounce to a near eight-month low amid rate-hike expectations and a stronger greenback, despite reduced inflation concerns following the interim agreement between the United States and Iran.
Notwithstanding the pullback, Barrick is expected to have gained from higher year-over-year realized prices. The consensus estimate for B’s average realized gold price is pinned at $4,507 per ounce for the second quarter, indicating a roughly 37% year-over-year increase.
Higher production is expected to have aided B’s sales volumes in the second quarter. Barrick saw a 5% year-over-year and 17% sequential decline in first-quarter 2026 gold production to 719,000 ounces. However, it expects production to increase sequentially, with second-quarter gold production projected in the band of 730,000-770,000 ounces. The uptick is expected to be driven by the ramp-up across Loulo-Gounkoto and Goldrush mines, as well as mine sequencing across the NGM sites.
The consensus estimate calls for a gold production of roughly 764,000 ounces in the second quarter, indicating a roughly 6% sequential rise.
Barrick is likely to have faced headwinds from higher production costs in the second quarter. It saw an 8% sequential increase in all-in-sustaining costs (AISC) — a critical cost metric for miners — in the first quarter, reaching $1,708 per ounce.
Cost pressures are expected to have continued in the second quarter. The consensus estimate for AISC for the second quarter is pegged at $1,884, indicating a roughly 12% year-over-year and 10% sequential increase.
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Barrick this season. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. But that’s not the case here.
