Ero Copper’s share price came under pressure even as the company laid out ambitious growth plans, prompting investors to reassess expectations against execution risks and future capital needs. The miner guided to significantly higher copper output, forecasting 67,500 to 77,500 tonnes in 2026 and aiming for 80,000 to 90,000 tonnes by 2028, with C1 cash costs projected at $2.15 to $2.35 per pound. Its Xavantina gold operation is expected to produce 40,000 to 50,000 ounces, with gold concentrate sales running through mid‑2027. The plan includes $245 million to $280 million in capital spending and a preliminary economic assessment for the Furnas project targeted for the first half of 2026. Despite the stock’s decline, analysts broadly responded by raising their price targets, signalling confidence in the longer‑term growth story.
