- CEO Natascha Viljoen's latest share disposal was largely linked to tax withholding after restricted stock units vested.
- A separate sale followed a prearranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted in February.
- Newmont's latest operating outlook combines strong cash generation with ongoing project spending and execution risks.
CEO Natascha Viljoen disposed of 25,780 Newmont shares over four days spanning late October and early November, according to Billionaires Africa. Most of the shares were withheld to cover taxes linked to the vesting of restricted stock units.
The latest real-time quote of Newmont stock was 104.47 euros at 16:36 CET on Thursday, November 5, 2026, compared with 107.14 euros at 14:08 CET in the previous report on the same day. That represents a 2.49% decline since that report and is separate from any Xetra daily comparison.
Most shares covered taxes
Newmont withheld 21,898 shares on October 30 at 111.80 US dollars each to cover taxes due on the vesting of 50,052 restricted stock units. Viljoen separately sold 3,882 shares on November 2 at 108.04 US dollars each.
The sale was made under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on February 23. Such plans set sales in advance. Viljoen has made recurring 3,882-share sales under the plan since June and held 101,691 Newmont shares directly after the latest transactions.
Cash generation meets project spending
Newmont's third-quarter figures provide the wider operating context. The company produced 1.3 million attributable gold ounces, posted net income of 2.5 billion US dollars and generated 1.9 billion US dollars in free cash flow. It also said it had returned 1.9 billion US dollars to shareholders since its previous earnings call, including 1.6 billion US dollars in buybacks, and declared a quarterly dividend of 0.26 US dollars per share.
Management said Newmont remained on track to meet its full-year 2026 production guidance and had improved its full-year cost outlook. For investors, project delivery, gold prices, capital requirements and cost control remain central to the stock's outlook.
