Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (ISIN US4132163001) stock was last at ZAR 266.14 on the JSE on October 7, 2026 at 8:44 p.m. CAT, down 5.42 percent. The company disclosed director and prescribed officer share dealings on October 7, including vested shares sold in market transactions.

Directors disclosed share sales

According to Harmony Gold on October 7, 2026, Chief Executive Officer BB Nel sold 124,064 vested ordinary shares on October 2 at a volume-weighted average price of ZAR 290.4505. Financial Director BP Lekubo sold 75,919 vested shares at the same average price, while other executives and officers also reported sales after deferred share awards vested.

The filing states that the transactions were made under the Harmony Deferred Share Plan 2018 and that prior clearance was obtained under the JSE Listings Requirements. The disclosure gives investors a concrete governance data point, but it does not state that the transactions were linked to the October 7 share-price move.

FY26 delivered higher revenue

According to Yahoo Finance on September 28, 2026, Harmony reported fiscal-year 2026 revenue of ZAR 99.2 billion, up 34 percent from the prior year. Gold production reached 1.43 million ounces and copper production totaled 18,200 tonnes, both at the upper end of company guidance.

The operating comparison is important because the company is moving into a more investment-heavy fiscal 2027. In the same fiscal-year context, Harmony guided gold production at 1.3 million to 1.4 million ounces and planned capital spending for the gold business, CSA copper mine and Eva Copper project.

Gold margin expanded in FY26

Investing.com reported on September 28, 2026 that Harmony's FY26 all-in sustaining cost margin increased to 42 percent from 31 percent in the previous year. The average gold price received rose 46 percent to USD 3,800 per ounce, while headline earnings per share doubled to ZAR 258 in the presentation figures.

That combination of higher realized metal prices and wider margins remains the central operating counterweight to the planned investment cycle. The company also reported that gold production guidance was met for the 11th consecutive financial year.
