The combination of a strong operational beat, massive cash flow generation, and a $3B buyback authorization is a powerful catalyst. Watch for the North American Barrick IPO timeline and any updates on the Lumwana Super Pit expansion. The stock's historical T+20 performance has been poor despite strong fundamentals, so consider taking profits on a strong open rather than chasing.
