HMY opened higher and rallied in regular trading, rising 5.05% to $16.105 as of 11:45 ET, driven by a softer US dollar and rising gold prices. The session opened at $15.800, which also marked the low, and hit an intraday high of $16.120, for a range of $1.32. Q2 FY2026 revenue surged 35.33% YoY to $1.338 billion, net profit jumped 40.46% YoY to $293.7 million, and EPS climbed 38.87% YoY to $0.4645, underscoring strong operational momentum.

HMY staged a rebound during regular trading, rising to $15.05 by ET 09:33, up roughly 3% from its pre-market low of $14.61, yet the stock remains down 23.1% YTD and trades 42% below its 52-week high of $26.06. The recovery was driven by Wall Street Zen's upgrade to 'Buy' and multiple analyst price target hikes to $23.97, implying 57% upside, despite the company reporting a fatal incident at TauTona shaft. Fundamental strength was underscored by Q2 FY2026 revenue up 35.33% YoY to $1.34B and net profit up 40.46%, alongside achieving gold output guidance for the 11th consecutive year.
