Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Byproduct MixSilver overtaking molybdenum as the largest byproduct, together with higher zinc, can help offset production costs through stronger byproduct credits.
Free Cash Flow StrengthAnalyst expectations for continued solid free cash flow and strong cash conversion indicate the company can fund shareholder returns and project needs from internal cash generation.
Operational ReliabilityStatus as a pure copper producer without reported operational issues supports consistent output and bolsters investor confidence in operational stability.
Bears Say
Production OutlookProjected decline in copper production due to grade deterioration and delays in new mine start-up could reduce output and pressure revenue.
Project And Political RiskAdvancing the Tia Maria project combined with elevated political risk in Peru could increase capital needs, reduce free cash flow, and weigh on operations and investor sentiment.
Valuation RiskThe stock trading well above historical EV/EBITDA and P/E averages, alongside sell and underweight recommendations, points to a stretched valuation that raises downside risk if growth weakens.

SCCO Earnings Call
Q4 2026
0:00 / 0:00
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call emphasized multiple record financial results (net sales, adjusted EBITDA, net income), strong cash flow and significant by-product volume and price tailwinds that materially improved margins and shareholder returns. Operationally, the company faces near-term challenges: a modest decline in copper production with a lower 2026 guidance, rising operating costs and one-time charges, project-level impediments (illegal miners at Los Chancas) and strategically chosen production shifts at Buenavista that affect copper and molybdenum volumes. On balance the positive financial outcomes, robust margins, strong cash generation, and clear project progress (Tia Maria) outweigh the operational headwinds.View all SCCO earnings summariesSCCO Stock 12 Month Forecast
