Newmont Corporation (NYSE:NEM) stock is down 3.5% to trade at $46.07 at last check, brushing off a second-quarter earnings and revenue beat as gold prices soften. The mining stock also drew a price-target hike to $57 from $56 at BMO earlier today, bringing its 12-month consensus target price to $53.35 -- a roughly 16% premium to current levels.

Today's pullback has the shares testing support from the 20-day moving average, after gapping below the trendline earlier in the session. The equity is pulling back from a July 17, 52-week high of $48.21, but still sports a more than 11% lead for 2024, with 33.6% amassed in the last six months.
