Why Barrick’s “Strong” Quarter Wasn’t So Strong | Q1 2026 Earnings

Register here for The 2026 Rule Symposium on Natural Resource Investing: LINK HERE: https://cvent.me/XOqdLa?via=TheDeepDive.ca Barrick’s first quarter looked strong at first glance, especially compared to a year ago. Revenue jumped, earnings climbed, free cash flow stayed strong, and the company kept building its cash position. But the real story changes when you compare these results to the previous quarter, where production, sales, and several key financial metrics all moved lower despite a much stronger gold price environment. In this video, we break down Barrick’s Q1 2026 results, including revenue, earnings, EBITDA, free cash flow, production, costs, and valuation. We also look at why the year-over-year comparison may be flattering the numbers, how Barrick stacks up against peers like Agnico and Newmont, and why this quarter may not have been as strong as the stock market reaction suggested.
