South African mining giant Gold Fields has more than doubled its interim dividend after selling gold at an average price of nearly $4,700 an ounce during the first half of 2026.
The Johannesburg-based company declared a dividend of $1.01 per share, or R16.25, representing a 133% increase from the R7 paid for the same period last year.
Gold Fields said headline earnings per share climbed 81% to $2.08 during the six months ended June, up from $1.15 a year earlier.
The increase was driven by a combination of higher gold prices, increased production and stronger sales volumes.
Gold Fields achieved an average gold price of $4,678 an ounce during the period, according to its half-year results. Its attributable gold-equivalent production increased 12% to 1.267 million ounces.
