Gold: Barrick Mining Corporation owns the largest revenue base; Aris Mining Corporation has the fastest current growth.
The industry itself · before any single company
How has Gold moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers 5.2 years. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 130% ahead of S&P 500. Earnings across its companies grew 109% on average over the last four reported quarters.

Participation is not spreading downward this month; the larger companies are still carrying most of it.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 45 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
Sector relative strength · before individual stocks
Is Gold outperforming S&P 500?
Gold has outperformed S&P 500 by 35.9% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a shortfall of 20.4%. 1 of 28 covered companies currently beats the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Centerra Gold Inc. is the strongest against the sector itself at +22.8%.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.
Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.
Bottom line

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Franco-Nevada Corporation has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 82% evidence confidence.
Centerra Gold Inc. has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.
Decision use: Acceleration candidate, not a confirmed leader: earnings are strong but sector-relative strength is -10.5% and the one-year return is 14.8%. Do not upgrade until sector-relative strength is above zero and another reported period confirms growth.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
Barrick Mining Corporation has the highest Revenue among the 28 Gold companies compared here, at $19,044 million. Agnico Eagle Mines Limited is next at $13,540 million. Aris Mining Corporation has the highest Revenue growth at the 100% top of the scoring scale, so level and change sit with different companies.
What the numbers say: Barrick Mining Corporation is the scale leader at $19,044 million, 40.6% ahead of Agnico Eagle Mines Limited. Aris Mining Corporation's growth is stored at the ≥100% scoring cap; the uncapped TTM change is 103.6% from a $1,142 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Investor read: Barrick Mining Corporation is the scale benchmark; Aris Mining Corporation is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: Barrick Mining Corporation's growth falls below Aris Mining Corporation's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

This conclusion weakens if: CAPEX rises without higher utilization, operating cash flow or incremental returns.
CAPEX is cash spent on property, plant, equipment and other reported capital assets. CAPEX intensity divides that spend by revenue; high intensity is a reinvestment signal, not proof that the reinvestment will earn attractive returns.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This Gold comparison names 5 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 1 of the 28 companies reports on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so its rank is marked stale. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
1 company has an older fundamental reporting date than the sector’s freshest reporters; its rank carries a stale marker.

AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 28 Gold companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-28. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Derived metricsGrowth, changes, CAPEX intensity, net debt, guarded PEG and P/BV÷ROE are calculated only when their inputs are comparable.
Score confidenceMissing and stale evidence reduces confidence and pulls the 0–100 research-priority score toward neutral.
These 18 answers restate the Gold comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 28 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Which Gold company is the biggest?
Barrick Mining Corporation is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $19,044 million, ahead of Agnico Eagle Mines Limited at $13,540 million. That covers 22 of 28 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Gold company is growing fastest?
Aris Mining Corporation has the fastest revenue growth at 100% year on year, across 22 of 28 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.
Which Gold company has the best profit margins?
OceanaGold Corporation has the highest operating margin at 152.9%, from 24 of 28 comparable companies. Equinox Gold Corp. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +48.8 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Gold company makes the most profit?
Barrick Mining Corporation earns the most, at $8,854 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 25 of 28 comparable companies. Agnico Eagle Mines Limited has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Gold company earns the highest return on capital?
OceanaGold Corporation leads on return on capital employed at 42.7%, across 27 of 28 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Gold stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — IAMGOLD Corporation screens cheapest at 0.46×. Only 11 of 28 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Which Gold company has the strongest balance sheet?
Centerra Gold Inc. carries the lowest comparable gross debt at $0 million, from 27 of 28 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.
Which Gold company is investing most in new capacity?
Barrick Mining Corporation reports the largest capital spending at $979 million, across 25 of 28 companies. Spending consumes cash before it earns anything, so treat the ranking as a diligence queue: check commissioning, utilisation and the return earned on the completed assets before reading spend as value creation.
Is the Gold sector beating the market?
Gold has outperformed S&P 500 by 35.9% over the last 52 weeks and 20.4% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 1 of 28 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.
Which Gold stock has the strongest price momentum?
Centerra Gold Inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.
Which Gold company scores highest for research priority?
Franco-Nevada Corporation scores 66.7 out of 100 with 82% evidence confidence, from 24.6 points on growth and earnings, 16.1 on capital efficiency, 9.9 on valuation and 16.1 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.
How many Gold companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
It compares 28 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals and 6 fiscal years of capital allocation, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
What is the total market cap of the Gold sector?

What is the Gold sector's P/E ratio?
The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 28 Gold companies on this page is 15.5×, measured on the 26 that report a comparable figure.

How many Gold stocks are listed in the US?

Why are some values on this page blank?
A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.
Is this investment advice?
No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
