Newmont has stable revenues and increasing reinvestment in the business, a steady stream of strong cash flows, and an excellent current ratio. The company also benefits from wider gross margins than its peer group, decent operating margins with a negative growth trend, and healthy leverage. However, the firm has declining EPS growth.

Newmont does not have a meaningful trailing P/E ratio since its earnings per share are currently in the red. Based on its EPS guidance of $3.35, the company has a forward P/E ratio of 12.7. In comparison, the average P/E ratio for the Basic Materials sector is 10.03. On the other hand, the market is undervaluing Newmont in terms of its equity because its P/B ratio is 1.67. In comparison, the sector average is 2.08. In conclusion, Newmont's impressive cash flow trend, decent P/B ratio, and reasonable use of leverage demonstrate that the company may still be fairly valued — despite its elevated earnings multiple.
