On the news front, the company is scheduled to release its Q2 earnings before market open on August 10. Market consensus estimates project revenue of $5.226 billion, representing a 42.29% year-over-year increase, while adjusted EPS is expected at $0.88, up 91.86% year-over-year. The strong outlook reflects gold and copper price tailwinds driving significant earnings elasticity. In the prior quarter, Barrick posted revenue of $5.218 billion with a gross margin of 60.37% and adjusted EPS of $0.98.
Additionally, severe winter storms in Chile forced multiple copper mines to halt operations for weeks, further tightening global copper supply and providing price support for the company's copper business. Barrick itself evacuated workers from its Barriales camp in Chile's Atacama region after storms blocked land access.
