Three fast-rising S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) gold stocks released their full-year FY 2026 earnings results this morning.

And investors have responded by bidding all three stocks higher as we head into the Friday lunch hour, despite the 0.2% fall in the ASX 200 at this same time.

Here's what's happening.

Ramelius Resources Ltd (ASX: RMS)

Ramelius Resources shares are up 0.8% at time of writing, swapping hands for $3.95 apiece.

That sees this ASX 200 gold stock up 37% since this time last year.

For FY 2026, Ramelius reported a 1% year-on-year increase in revenue to $1.03 billion.

Underlying earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of $765 million were down 7%.

On the bottom line, the gold miner reported a 33% year-on-year decline in underlying net profit after tax (NPAT) to $320 million.

Profits and earnings were impacted in part by the lower production volumes associated with the completion of operations at the company's Edna May project.

Regis Resources Ltd (ASX: RRL)

Regis Resources shares are also attracting attention today after the miner released its FY 2026 results.

Shares in the ASX 200 gold stock are up 3.2%, trading for $8.49 each. That sees the Regis Resources share price up 90% in 12 months.

Over the 12 months, Regis Resource produced 379,050 ounces of gold at an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of $2,945 per ounce.

The miner sold 373,879 ounces over the year, receiving an average price of $6,283 per ounce.

This saw revenue increase by 43% from FY 2025 to $2.35 billion. And it helped the miner set a new record NPAT of $715 million, up a whopping 181% year on year.

With profits soaring, management declared a fully-franked final dividend of 20 cents per share.

Regis ended the year with cash and bullion holdings of $1.18 billion, up $667 million from the close of FY 2025.

Genesis Minerals Ltd (ASX: GMD)

The third ASX 200 gold stock making moves following the release of its full-year results is Genesis Minerals.

Genesis Minerals shares are up 2%, trading for $8.17 apiece. That puts the share price up 93% since this time last year.

FY 2026 was an eventful period for the miner, with gold production up 33% from FY 2025 to 285,402 ounces. Genesis produced the gold at an AISC of $2,670 per ounce.

And earnings hit a new record high, with the company reporting a 110% lift in EBITDA to $952 million.

Profits surged as well, with underlying NPAT up 147% to $547 million.

And with profits rocketing, the ASX 200 gold stock delivered its first ever dividend, fully franked at 5 cents per share.

Genesis Minerals ended the financial year with cash and equivalents of $520 million, up 81% from last year.
