Northern Star Resources stock falls 2.32 percent on ASX

Northern Star Resources stock stood at AUD 22.27 on the ASX on September 24, 2026, down AUD 0.53 or 2.32 percent from the previous close. The move contrasts with the gold producer's FY26 earnings growth, which was driven by higher realized prices and stronger margins.

FY26 revenue reached AUD 7.623 billion

Kapitales Research reported that FY26 revenue rose 19 percent year over year to AUD 7.623 billion. Underlying EBITDA increased 22 percent to AUD 4.271 billion, while underlying net profit after tax climbed 26 percent to AUD 1.789 billion.

The earnings mix matters because the operational picture was less uniform than the income statement. Underlying earnings per share increased 5 percent to AUD 1.24, and the company declared a dividend of AUD 0.55 per share for FY26, according to the same results report.

Gold output fell 6 percent

Gold sold declined 6 percent to 1.543 million ounces in FY26, while the realized gold price rose 26 percent to AUD 4,925 per ounce. The contrast shows how pricing, rather than volume alone, supported the result.

Production met the revised guidance of more than 1.5 million ounces but stayed below the initial target range of 1.7 million to 1.85 million ounces. For investors, that gap keeps operating execution central even as revenue and EBITDA set higher benchmarks.

Board changes add a second variable

MarketScreener reported on September 14, 2026, that Mark Cutifani and Peter Rozenauers will join the board as independent non-executive directors on October 1, 2026. The appointments add governance change to a stock already balancing earnings growth against production volatility.

Simply Wall St said on September 23, 2026, that analyst targets averaged AUD 24.57, up from AUD 23.94. That comparison places the published target 10.32 percent above the September 24 share price.

ASX price stays below yearly high

Northern Star Resources stood at AUD 22.27 on the ASX on September 24, 2026, with a market capitalization of AUD 31,730,408,731. The price was 30.32 percent below the 52-week high of AUD 31.96 and above the 52-week low of AUD 17.07.
