Barrick Gold's Quarterly Report is Better than Expected

Net income was $357 million, or 20 cents per share, in the second quarter of 2020. Profit nearly doubled from last year's second quarter, with $194 million or 11 cents per share recorded by Barrick Gold Corporation GOLD in the second quarter of 2019.
The total sales of Barrick Gold Corporation were $3,055 million. This figure is 48.1% more than in the same quarter of 2019. Adjusted earnings per share of the company increased by 155.6% year on year.
GOLD Stocks are Falling by 8.5%
Despite the quarterly report demonstrating significant positive changes in the company's finances, the price of shares fell dramatically. The fall was more than 8.5%.
Most likely, this is partially due to the fall in the price of gold. Today the drop constitutes about 5%, which became the biggest drop in the last few months.
