Kinross Gold Reports Q3 2026 Earnings with Increased Net Earnings Amid Higher Gold Prices
Kinross Gold (KGC) reported third-quarter 2026 adjusted net earnings of $591.3 million, or $0.50 per share, an increase from the $529.6 million reported in the same period last year. Despite a 16% decrease in gold equivalent production due to planned lower output at Fort Knox and Bald Mountain, higher realized gold prices—averaging $4,249 per ounce compared to $3,460 last year—helped maintain metal sales at $1.77 billion. The company faced rising operational headwinds, with All-In Sustaining Costs (AISC) increasing 20% to $1,947 per equivalent ounce due to higher energy, contractor, and reagent expenses. However, Kinross maintained a strong liquidity position with $2.6 billion in cash and cash equivalents. Management also increased its shareholder return target, now allocating 50% of free cash flow back to shareholders.
