NEWMONT MINING CORP. $55 - New York symbol NEM
NEWMONT MINING CORP. $55 (New York symbol NEM; Aggressive Growth Portfolio, Resources sector; Shares outstanding: 490.2 million; Market cap: $27.0 billion; Price-to-sales ratio: 4.0; WSSF Rating: Average) is one of the world’s largest gold-mining companies. Newmont has major mines in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Peru and Ghana. It gets about 80% of its revenue from gold. The remaining 20% comes from copper, zinc and other metals.
Most of Newmont’s copper comes from the large Batu Hijau gold/copper mining complex in Indonesia. As part of its original 1986 deal to develop Batu Hijau, Newmont and its partners agreed to lower their stakes in the mine, in stages, by selling them to the Indonesian government. As a result, the company recently reduced its stake in Batu Hijau to 31.5% from 45%. In exchange, Newmont received roughly $669 million. The company expects to sell more of its stake in Batu Hijau over the next few months.
Meanwhile, Newmont earned $388 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009. That’s 113.2% higher than the $182 million it earned a year earlier. Per-share earnings jumped 97.5%, to $0.79 from $0.40, on more shares outstanding. Cash flow per share gained 94.8%, to $1.85 from $0.95. Revenue climbed 49.5%, to $2.05 billion from $1.4 billion. The gains were mainly caused by higher average gold prices (up 11%), and higher gold sales (up 16%). Newmont also cut its operating costs and benefited from higher copper prices and production.
The company should earn $2.33 a share this year. The stock trades at 23.6 times that estimate. That may seem high, but it’s still reasonable for a low-cost gold producer like Newmont. The $0.40 dividend yields 0.7%.
Newmont Mining is a buy.
