New York, Feb 9, 2026, 07:30 EST — Premarket
- B2Gold shares nudged up roughly 1% before the bell, sticking close to their recent peaks.
- Gold edged up, approaching $5,000/oz, as the dollar softened and investors braced for upcoming U.S. data.
- B2Gold’s earnings drop on Feb. 18, with investors already eyeing the miner’s guidance for 2026.
B2Gold Corp climbed roughly 1.2% to $5.12 before the bell Monday, building on earlier strength as gold prices edged higher and traders looked toward the coming week. 1
Spot gold climbed close to 1% to $5,008.51 an ounce as of 11:41 GMT, tacking onto Friday’s gains. The dollar lost ground, with traders turning their focus to a slate of upcoming U.S. jobs and inflation data. Markets are now pricing in at least two cuts of 25 basis points each in 2026 — a basis point equals one-hundredth of a percentage point. Lower rates generally work in gold’s favor since the metal doesn’t yield interest. “Gold reclaims its historical role as a neutral sovereign asset,” said Rania Gule, senior market analyst at XS.com. 2
B2Gold’s got a key moment coming up: new figures and its outlook are set to drop in just days. The miner plans to roll out fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, plus 2026 guidance, once North American markets shut on Feb. 18. Executives will run through the numbers in a call scheduled for the next morning. 3
Shares finished Friday at $5.06, a gain of 7.2% for the day, and tacked on more in early premarket moves. 4
B2Gold, headquartered in Vancouver, runs mines at the Fekola complex in Mali, Masbate in the Philippines, Otjikoto in Namibia, and the Goose mine in Canada, its website shows. 5
Gold stocks often react sharply to bullion’s moves—their revenue rides the metal’s price, but day-to-day costs usually stay put. That leverage isn’t always an advantage.
Bulls have reason to worry here. This market has a habit of lurching: a stronger-than-expected U.S. inflation print or an unexpected jobs number typically lifts the dollar and bond yields—gold tends to take a hit, and miners usually feel the drop even more.
B2Gold comes into its report with some company-specific unknowns. For investors, the key is mine-by-mine performance, watching how costs move, and whether there’s any shift in guidance. New assets still finding their footing can draw extra scrutiny.
Investors now look to Feb. 18, when B2Gold is set to report results, followed by a Feb. 19 conference call. Management is expected to give sharper detail on 2026 production and cost targets. 6
