Harmony Gold FY2026净利润翻倍至293亿兰特，受益于金价飙升但套保亏损5.71亿美元

Harmony Gold Mining Co.’s profit for the year through June doubled as the biggest producer of South African gold benefitted from booming prices for the precious metal.

Net income rose to 29.3 billion rand ($1.8 billion), up from 14.4 billion rand a year earlier, the Johannesburg-listed miner said on Thursday. The average price the firm received for its gold climbed 35% to $3,811 an ounce, although that was lowered by a hedge book loss of $571 million.

The price of bullion has soared in recent years, hitting an all-time high of $5,595 an ounce in January. Even though the market has been volatile in 2026, gold is still trading at historically elevated levels – above $4,600 an ounce – providing bonanza margins for miners of the metal.

Harmony’s gold output declined 3% to 1.4 million ounces in the fiscal year through June, with production from the company’s two flagship, deep underground South African mines down 11%. Its Hidden Valley operation in Papua New Guinea produced 16% more gold.

The company is increasing its exposure to copper through two ventures in Australia, aiming to capitalize in growing long-term demand for the industrial metal.

The CSA asset in New South Wales – which Harmony acquired for $1 billion last year – produced 18,200 tons of copper. The firm is also spending up to $1.75 billion to build the Eva Copper mine in Queensland.

Harmony, which declared its largest ever full-year dividend of $503 million, said it’s targeting annual copper output of 100,000 tons in three to five years.
