[BENGALURU] Goldcorp Inc, the world's biggest gold producer by market value, reported a bigger quarterly loss due to a US$3.9 billion charge and cut its annual dividend.
The company's net loss widened to US$4.27 billion, or US$5.14 per share, in the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, from US$2.4 billion, or US$2.94 per share, a year earlier.
