Barrick Gold is reportedly weighing a delay of its planned North America gold IPO to 2027, according to Bloomberg, as cited by another outlet. The proposal involves separating Barrick’s North American gold assets from the rest of the company and pursuing a separate listing.
Two reports say some of Barrick’s major investors oppose the strategy and raise concerns about the timing and structure of the IPO. While details on the discussions vary by outlet, both point to investor pushback as a factor in reconsidering the schedule, rather than moving ahead immediately with the market debut.
The outlets do not provide full specifics on what the delay would entail, how long the review will take, or whether an alternative timeline or structure is being considered. No report confirms that the IPO will definitely be postponed, but the coverage indicates the company is actively reviewing options in response to stakeholder feedback.
