Read Craig Hemke’s latest blog where he discusses:

  1. Newmont Mining's Disappointing Performance: Despite Newmont Mining's latest quarterly results appearing positive on the surface, the market reacted negatively, causing a significant drop in the company's share price, reaching a new five-year low.

  2. Long-Term Performance Concerns: Notably, Newmont's shares are not only cheaper than they were five years ago but also cheaper than they were twenty years ago.
