Higher realized gold prices are expected to have driven its top line.Gold prices are hitting record highs this year, and the yellow metal has been among the best-performing assets. The recent rally in gold prices has been supported by the 50-basis-point cut in interest rates by the U.S. Federal Reserve, growing expectations of another rate reduction in November, uncertainties over the U.S. presidential election and increased tensions in the Middle East, which fueled safe-haven demand.Prices of the yellow metal racked up a roughly 4% gain for the third quarter of 2024 and are up roughly 33% this year.Tasiast and Paracatu, the company’s two biggest assets, remain key contributors to cash flow generation and production. Tasiast remains the lowest-cost asset within its portfolio with consistently strong performance while Paracatu continues to deliver steady production, which is expected to have continued in the third quarter. Our estimate for third-quarter consolidated production is 528,770 gold equivalent ounces.Kinross, like most miners, is plagued by higher production costs. In the second quarter of 2024, its production cost of sales per gold equivalent ounce was up roughly 14% from the previous year. All-in-sustaining costs (AISC) — the most important cost metric of miners — also rose around 7% year over year. While KGC is taking actions to control costs, the inflationary pressure is likely to have continued in the September quarter, impacting its performance.
