Ivanhoe Mines ( (TSE:IVN) ) has issued an announcement.

Ivanhoe Mines reported that its Kamoa-Kakula Copper Complex produced 388,838 tonnes of copper in concentrate in 2025, meeting its guidance range, with the Phase 3 concentrator running roughly 30% above nameplate capacity and setting records for throughput and recovery. The company confirmed its 2026 copper production guidance of 380,000 to 420,000 tonnes, highlighted successful ramp-up of its on-site smelter producing 99.7%-pure copper anodes at about 500 tonnes per day and high-strength sulphuric acid at around 1,200 tonnes per day, and announced first acid sales and imminent copper anode exports, all of which should enhance value capture and reduce dependence on third-party processing. At Kipushi, Ivanhoe produced a record 203,168 tonnes of zinc in concentrate in 2025, also in line with guidance and including a monthly production record in December, and set 2026 production guidance of 240,000 to 290,000 tonnes of zinc, underscoring a strong operational ramp-up that supports its growth profile and reinforces its role as a key emerging producer in the global copper and zinc markets.

Spark’s Take on TSE:IVN Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:IVN is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weak cash-flow generation and mixed operating profitability despite strong revenue growth and a manageable balance sheet. Technicals are supportive with a clear uptrend, but near-term momentum looks stretched. Valuation is a notable risk due to the high P/E, while the latest earnings call was cautiously constructive on liquidity and project milestones despite ongoing operational and cost headwinds.
