  • Northern Star Resources Shares Fall as CEO Succession Plan Announced
    May 23, 2026, 1:52 AM EDT. Northern Star Resources (ASX:NST) revealed Managing Director Stuart Tonkin will step down in early FY27, starting a CEO succession process. Shares dropped 17.41% over 30 days to A$18.83, down 33.53% in 90 days, contrasting with a 5-year total shareholder return of 86.28%. Analysts value the stock at A$27.38, implying 31.2% undervaluation. The firm's acquisition of the Hemi project and a strong 10-year reserve-backed production profile underpin long-term growth prospects. However, this outlook depends heavily on successful large capital projects and stable gold prices, with risks from cost overruns and commodity volatility. Investors face a trade-off between potential rewards and risks amid the leadership change and recent price weakness.
