Investing.com - Raymond (NSE:RYMD) James has raised its price target on Newmont Mining Corp. (NYSE:NEM) to $67.00 from $66.00 while maintaining an Outperform rating on the stock. The mining giant’s shares, currently trading at $60.06, have shown remarkable strength with a 63% gain year-to-date. According to InvestingPro, the stock is trading near its 52-week high of $60.31.
The firm updated its forecasts for Newmont following the end of the quarter, adjusting for second-quarter commodity prices and recent asset sales by the gold mining company.
Raymond James notes that Newmont’s second-quarter results will include some production from non-core assets such as Akyem and Porcupine, though this production will be "down substantially quarter-over-quarter."
The company is expected to report approximately $0.85 billion in total after-tax cash proceeds from these asset sales as well as from the sale of some equity investments during the second quarter.
Raymond James also cautions that Newmont’s second-quarter all-in sustaining costs (AISC) could be impacted by higher sustaining capital expenditures, while cash flow might be affected by increased reclamation spending.
