Jim Cramer on Newmont: “You Can’t Really Go Wrong in That Space When Gold Has Had Such a Terrific Year”

Newmont Corporation (NYSE:NEM) is one of the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 stocks Jim Cramer commented on. Cramer highlighted the company in light of performance of gold over the last year, as he said:

“In seventh place, there’s Newmont, yeah, the gold miner that gained 168% in 2025, reflecting the surge in gold prices last year. Now, I prefer Agnico Eagle Mines, which has also more than doubled in 2025, but you can’t really go wrong in that space when gold has had such a terrific year.”
