Newmont (NEM) fell 4.6% Thursday, more than gold's 1.2% decline, as the stock slipped below its 50-day moving average. Alpha Score sits at 61/100.
Newmont Corporation (NEM) closed Thursday at $90.83, down 4.6% from the prior session. That drop outpaced the broader market and came as gold futures slipped 1.2% to $2,640 an ounce.
The selloff comes with the miner's Alpha Score sitting at 61 out of 100, putting it in Moderate territory. The Materials sector label means Newmont's fortunes track gold prices and operating costs more closely than broader equity indexes.
No company-specific news crossed the tape Thursday. The move suggests traders used the broader gold pullback to trim a position that had run up 12% over the prior six weeks. Newmont's beta to gold has historically hovered near 1.5, meaning the stock tends to move 50% more than the metal on a percentage basis.
Thursday's decline took NEM below its 50-day moving average of $92.10, a level traders said bears will watch for a re-test. The next floor sits near $88.50, where the stock found buyers in mid-January.
For context, Newmont's Alpha Score – a composite of momentum, valuation, and earnings quality – suggests the risk-reward is balanced rather than skewed. The Moderate label implies neither a strong buy nor sell signal from the model.
Newmont reports first-quarter earnings April 24. Analysts expect adjusted earnings of $0.72 a share, down from $0.85 a year ago, on lower gold output guidance.
