Newmont Corporation (NEM) scored on five pillars from its reported financial statements, and ranked against 77 Materials companies.
Newmont Corporation (NEM) scores 7.3 out of 10 as of , computed from its reported financial statements. That reads as high quality. The reading rests on profitability, and predictability is what holds it back.
One pillar, solvency, is unscored because the filings behind it carry too little to judge. It is shown as a dash rather than a zero, and the overall score is the weighted average of what could be scored.

We cannot judge Newmont Corporation yet, because fewer than five years had both a return on capital and a cost of capital we could measure. This is not a “no”.

Newmont Corporation (NEM) has a Lemma Quality Score of 7.3 out of 10 as of October 19, 2026, which reads as high quality. A high reading means most of the pillars are strong, with no serious weakness pulling the average down. Five pillars feed it, and every one of them is computed from what the company reported rather than from its share price.
Among the 77 Materials companies with a published score, that ranks at the 95th percentile, among the top tenth of the group. The median across the group is 4.4, and the top quarter begins at 6.2, so Newmont Corporation is well above the typical company here.
Newmont Corporation’s profitability score is 9.6 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 4.4 among 74 Materials companies, that is well above the group and the 99th percentile. Returns and margins at this level leave room to reinvest, absorb a bad year or return cash to shareholders without straining the business.
There is no solvency score for Newmont Corporation: too little of the pillar could be measured from the filings to give an honest reading. The overall is therefore the weighted average of the other pillars. Across 66 Materials companies the median for this pillar is 6.7. Without it the overall says nothing about how comfortably the company carries its debt.
Newmont Corporation’s growth score is 8.9 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 3.2 among 57 Materials companies, that is well above the group and the 96th percentile. A high growth score rewards a business that is getting bigger in a way that reaches the bottom line, not just the top one.
Efficiency scores 5.8 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 71 Materials companies is 5.2, so Newmont Corporation is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 69th percentile. Middling efficiency is unremarkable on its own, though improvements here tend to show up in free cash flow first.
On predictability, Newmont Corporation scores 3.9, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 4.5 across 76 Materials companies, which places it below them, at the 41st percentile. Weak predictability means revenue or earnings have swung widely from year to year, so any single year’s figures are a less reliable guide.
This is a lopsided profile. Profitability scores 9.6 but predictability only 3.9, a gap of 5.7 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. Leading with profitability is the most valuable kind of strength, because margins and returns are what the other pillars ultimately feed. A predictability shortfall means the record is volatile, so the averages behind the other pillars move more than they appear to.
Of everything that could lift Newmont Corporation’s score, predictability matters most. Bringing it up to the 4.5 median of Materials companies would take the overall from 7.3 to roughly 7.5. Only four of the five pillars could be scored. Together they carry 80 of the 100 weight points (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and the overall is the weighted average of those alone.
These are the Materials companies closest to Newmont Corporation in market value. Each has its own page scored on the same five pillars, so the comparison is like for like.
How much profit the company generates from its capital and sales.
The company’s ability to service debt and meet its obligations.
How fast revenue, earnings and cash flow are compounding.
How well assets and earnings convert into cash and output.
How stable and consistent results have been over time.
Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

On this reading Newmont Corporation scores 7.3 out of 10, which reads as high quality. Its strongest pillar is profitability, its weakest is predictability. Quality is not the same as a good investment: the score says nothing about the price you would pay.
Newmont Corporation ranks at the 95th percentile of the 77 Materials companies Lemma publishes a score for. The median there is 4.4 and the top quarter starts at 6.2, against Newmont Corporation’s 7.3.
Five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks and then weighted into one overall reading: profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability. Everything comes from reported financials, and nothing comes from price, sentiment or forecasts.
This page last changed on October 19, 2026. The score moves with the financial statements, so the page changes when a new filing moves the reading rather than on a schedule. Live figures for NEM are in the app.
No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
Inside Lemma Analysis the same five pillars run on every company we cover, with the metrics behind each one, current fundamentals, a DCF you control and a watchlist that tells you when the price catches up.
