Bull case

  • HEPS for H1 2026 expected at US$1.98–US$2.18/share, 72%–90% above H1 2025, driven by higher gold-equivalent ounces sold and a higher realised gold price.
  • Adjusted free cash flow before discretionary investments for H1 2026 expected at US$2,385m–US$2,636m, 91%–111% above H1 2025, signalling sharp cash conversion on the higher gold price.

Bear case

  • Cost inflation accelerated: AIC jumped ~7.5% QoQ to US$2,200/oz in Q2 2026 while AISC reached US$1,960/oz, compounding the 8%/13% H1 YoY rises — margin tailwind from price is being eroded.
