Gold Fields shares rise 6.74% after-hours as earnings surge expected from higher gold prices and increased sales volumes.

Gold Fields surged 6.74% in after-hours trading following the company’s announcement of a projected 178–196% year-over-year earnings increase for 2025, driven by a 65% rally in gold prices and a 18% rise in gold production to 2.4 million ounces. The miner attributed the outlook to higher bullion prices and stronger sales volumes, with gold reaching a record $5,600 in January. Despite a lower-than-expected adjusted EPS guidance in another report, the broader optimism around gold’s sustained strength and operational gains fueled the post-market rally.
