Revenue surge and buybacks bolster sentiment after quarterly results

Barrick Gold reported its second-quarter 2026 results on August 10, revealing a 44% increase in revenue to USD 5.29 billion, alongside gold production of 796,000 ounces and copper output of 56,000 tonnes, according to Kalkine. The strong operating results indicate robust demand and operational execution, underpinning positive market sentiment. The board further declared a quarterly dividend of USD 0.175 per share and completed USD 1.209 billion in share repurchases during the period, increasing income appeal and providing direct support for the share price.

Mixed momentum and support levels restrain upside prospects

On the technical front, ABX/CAD currently remains above its MA-20 and MA-50 on the H1 timeframe, with resistance defined by the MA-200 overhead. The Ichimoku Kijun sits at C$52.8, providing immediate support for the stock. Momentum indicators present a mixed picture: both MACD and ADX point toward ongoing selling pressure, while RSI and CCI remain neutral. Notably, Stochastic RSI is in its oversold zone, suggesting there is potential for a technical rebound. Both Bull/Bear Power and the Awesome Oscillator register negative readings, highlighting intraday seller dominance and supporting the downside bias.

Range-bound outlook persists amid limited breakout triggers

Looking ahead, ABX/CAD is likely to consolidate within the expected range of C$51.35 to C$56.82 over the coming sessions, reflecting typical volatility around current levels. Upside potential remains limited unless a decisive move above resistance materializes, which could extend recent gains. If support at C$52.8 is breached, further downside risk is elevated within the current technical structure.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees Barrick Gold’s fundamentals as highly supportive after the strong Q2 2026 performance and substantial capital returns. He notes that while the stock sits above key short- and medium-term averages, longer-term technical resistance remains a hurdle. Market sentiment is positive, but near-term volatility and technical seller pressure may limit immediate upside. "With robust revenue growth and active buybacks, I remain constructive on ABX as long as support at C$52.8 holds."

Earlier, analysts noted that Barrick Gold was exhibiting persistent technical weakness and remained vulnerable to downside risk despite recent corporate developments. The latest rebound above key moving averages and the strong quarterly results now add a potential shift in the technical outlook, making the C$52.8 support level critical for traders to monitor for any renewed downside pressure.
