Kinross beat estimates in three of its last four reported quarters, though results have varied. In June, EPS of US$0.71 topped the US$0.66 estimate. In March, EPS of US$0.71 fell short of the US$0.74 estimate. Investors will be watching to see whether earnings growth and revenue momentum hold up as forecasts are revised lower. Follow the company on the Kinross Gold stock page.
Investor takeaway: Kinross has a strong recent record, with three EPS beats in four quarters, but the consensus forecast has fallen over the past month. Estimates range widely, from US$0.48 to US$1.16, so the consensus figure is only part of the picture. Compare reported EPS and revenue with current estimates, and listen for management’s comments on operations and costs. Kinross shares recently closed at C$31.27, below their 50-day and 200-day moving averages. That doesn’t predict the earnings result, but it may lead investors to pay close attention to the outlook as well as the quarter.
US$0.73 EPS consensus, down from US$0.84 a month ago
The current consensus points to EPS growth of 65.3% from US$0.44 a year earlier. But with estimates trending down, the October 28 report will show whether that growth forecast still holds. Revenue consensus is US$2.27 billion, based on three analysts. Nine analysts contribute to the EPS consensus.
Bull case
Kinross has beaten estimates in three of its last four reported quarters, including a 7.58% positive surprise in June. The current forecast also points to year-over-year growth: EPS of US$0.73, compared with US$0.44 a year ago, and revenue of US$2.27 billion, up an estimated 25.9%. Results near or above those forecasts, along with a positive update on operations, would support the view that earnings momentum remains intact.
Bear case
Consensus EPS has fallen from US$0.84 to US$0.73 in 30 days, with three downward revisions and one upward revision. Estimates also vary widely, and Kinross missed the March-quarter EPS estimate before beating it in June. A miss, weaker-than-expected revenue, or cautious comments from management could put the growth outlook in doubt. Shares have fallen 19.64% over the past month and are below their 50-day and 200-day averages. That’s recent market context, not a prediction of how the stock will react to the report.

Analysis
Kinross Gold is due to report after market close on October 28 for the quarter ended September 30. The consensus forecast is US$0.73 per share, with estimates ranging from US$0.48 to US$1.16 among nine analysts. Revenue consensus is US$2.27 billion, based on three analysts. Those forecasts imply year-over-year EPS growth of 65.3% and revenue growth of 25.9%.
The report will show whether Kinross met those growth expectations. The earnings call should give investors more detail on the operating factors behind the results. Kinross produces gold and some silver, so performance at its mines is central to its earnings.
Analysis
Kinross beat EPS estimates in three of its last four reported quarters. In June, it reported US$0.71 per share against an estimate of US$0.66, a 7.58% positive surprise. In March, EPS of US$0.71 came in below the US$0.74 estimate. The company also beat estimates in December 2025, reporting US$0.67 against US$0.55, and in September 2025, reporting US$0.44 against US$0.39.
That track record offers useful context, but it doesn’t guarantee another beat. Consensus EPS has fallen from US$0.84 to US$0.73 over the past 30 days, with three downward revisions and one upward revision. The final results and management’s comments will help investors assess what changed.
Analysis
Compare reported EPS and revenue with the current consensus, then listen for management’s comments on operating conditions and the outlook. Kinross shares last closed at C$31.27, down 19.64% over the past month. They were also below their 50-day average of C$38.02 and 200-day average of C$40.39. These figures describe recent trading; they don’t predict how the stock will respond to the earnings report.
You can find analyst targets and a statistical price forecast in the analyst ratings section and price prediction section of the Kinross Gold stock page. Neither replaces an assessment of the company’s reported results and outlook.
