New York, Jan 24, 2026, 09:21 (EST) — Market closed
- B2Gold shares climbed 1.6% on Friday, closing at $5.29 and pushing their two-day rally further.
- The miner scheduled its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, plus 2026 guidance, for Feb. 18.
- Gold surged close to $5,000 an ounce, while silver climbed above $100 an ounce, boosting sentiment among gold-related stocks.
B2Gold Corp shares climbed on Friday, buoyed by a renewed rally in precious metals and a company filing confirming the upcoming earnings date. 1
With U.S. markets closed for the weekend, BTG’s short-term trajectory depends on two key factors: if gold stays close to record highs come Monday, and whether investors continue to focus on the company’s February results and outlook. 2
B2Gold finished at $5.29 on Jan. 23, edging up from $5.20 the previous day following a strong rally on Jan. 22. Trading volumes have remained elevated in recent sessions. 1
Late Thursday, the Vancouver-based miner announced it will release its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results after North American markets close on Feb. 18. The company plans to provide 2026 guidance — covering output, costs, and spending — during a conference call the following morning. 3
Timing is key as miners have been moving more like a macro play than just individual stocks. On Friday, gold surged to a record intraday peak of $4,988 an ounce, while silver jumped past $100 an ounce, drawing increased capital into the sector. 2
“Silver is caught up in a self-driven frenzy,” StoneX analyst Rhona O’Connell said, cautioning that the rapid gains leave scant room for any setbacks. 2
BofA strategist Michael Widmer pegged a “fundamentally justified” silver price near $60, while BNP Paribas’ David Wilson warned that profit-taking might come “sooner rather than later” following the late-2025 surge. Such cautionary comments can quickly weigh on the market if bullion starts to falter. 2
Country risk is also a factor. Mali’s president moved this week to tighten direct control over the mining sector, underscoring how quickly regulatory shifts can hit operators there — including B2Gold, which counts Mali among its operating regions. 4
Traders are set to focus on the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting scheduled for Jan. 27-28, along with the Jan. 28 press conference. Markets will be looking for clues that could move the dollar or influence rate expectations—two critical factors for gold prices. 5
BTG won’t face another major catalyst until mid-February, yet Monday’s open will reveal whether the recent gains stem from metal-driven momentum or from traders positioning ahead of B2Gold’s upcoming earnings and 2026 guidance. 3
