Northern Star Resources (AU000000NST8) received a Hold upgrade from Jarden with an AUD 24.00 price target in a report dated October 22, 2026, as Markets Insider reported. Northern Star stock was trading at EUR 14.86 at Lang & Schwarz on October 24, 2026 at 1:04 p.m. CEST.

First-quarter output sets the tone

The operating figures behind the rating were solid but mixed. Northern Star sold 364,000 ounces of gold in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, while all-in sustaining cost stood at AUD 3,217 per ounce, according to The Motley Fool Australia on October 22, 2026. The same report said Morgans kept its Hold rating and retained a 12-month target of AUD 25.00.

Where the ASX quote sits

Northern Star was last at AUD 24.16 on the ASX at 4:15 p.m. AEDT on October 23, 2026. Its 52-week range was AUD 17.07 to AUD 31.96 on that market-data timestamp, placing the quote AUD 7.80 below the high and AUD 7.09 above the low. Market capitalization stood at AUD 34.4 billion on the same date.

What matters beyond the target

Jarden's Hold stance places the AUD 24.00 target close to the latest ASX quote, while Morgans' AUD 25.00 target points to a different assessment of near-term value. Both targets sit well below the AUD 29.30 target attributed to Ord Minnett in a dated MarketScreener update on October 22, 2026, giving investors a broad AUD 24.00 to AUD 29.30 target spread.

The operating debate centers on execution rather than production alone. The Motley Fool Australia identified the KCGM ramp-up as a key operational watch point and said fiscal 2027 guidance was unchanged on October 22, 2026.

Gold production remains the test

Northern Star is an Australia-based gold producer with operations in Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Alaska, according to MarketScreener. For investors, the key contrast is clear: the company has substantial operating scale, but its valuation still depends on delivering the KCGM expansion and maintaining cost control.
