Hochschild Mining ( (GB:HOC) ) has provided an announcement.
Hochschild Mining reported first-quarter 2026 attributable production of 75,599 gold equivalent ounces, broadly in line with expectations, driven by solid output from its flagship Inmaculada mine in Peru and a growing contribution from the Mara Rosa operation in Brazil, partly offset by slightly weaker volumes at San Jose in Argentina. Management reiterated full-year guidance of 300,000-328,000 gold equivalent ounces and all-in sustaining costs of $2,157-$2,320 per ounce, supported by strong realised metal prices.
The group continued to generate robust cash, ending March with about $412 million in cash and short-term investments and shifting to a net cash position of roughly $95 million, improving its leverage profile. Operationally, the turnaround at Mara Rosa is advancing with better plant stability and a new mining contractor being phased in, while engineering at the Monte do Carmo gold project and permitting for the Royropata silver project progressed, and ESG metrics improved, underscoring both near-term delivery and a pipeline of longer-term growth.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:HOC) stock is a Buy with a £7.55 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Hochschild Mining stock, see the GB:HOC Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on HOC Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, HOC is a Outperform.
The score is driven primarily by the sharp financial improvement in 2024–2025 and very compelling valuation (low P/E and high dividend yield). This is partially offset by mixed technical signals, including a negative MACD and trading below the 50-day moving average.
