B2Gold Corp. Earnings Recaps
Q3 2026
Nov 7, 2026
B2Gold shares rose 5.7% after earnings, with investors responding to lower full-year AISC guidance and a $48 million free cash flow quarter as prepaid gold deliveries ended. The outlook also points to stronger Q4 production and several 2027 growth catalysts, though Goose is still in ramp-up and free cash flow reflected ongoing investment.
Key takeaways

- Revenue was $836 million on sales of about 195,000 ounces at an average realized gold price of $4,290 per ounce. Adjusted net income was $183 million, or $0.14 per share.
