The EPS miss and rising costs (AISC $2,157/oz) are the primary negatives, but strong cash flow and growth projects (Diamba Sud, Séguéla expansion) provide a floor. Watch for Q3 AISC trajectory and gold price movements; if costs don't trend down as guided, further downside risk.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Fortuna Mining reported Q2 2026 EPS of $0.24, missing consensus of $0.29 by -18.4%, while revenue grew 38% YoY to $318.4M. Despite strong cash flow ($85.7M free cash flow from operations) and a 63% EBITDA margin, the EPS miss and elevated AISC ($2,157/oz, up 12% QoQ) signal cost pressures that overshadow the growth narrative.
