▲(11.18% Upside)
Action:UpgradedDate:02/19/26
The score is driven primarily by solid overall financial health (low leverage) and a strong 2025 profitability recovery, supported by constructive technical trend signals. Positive earnings-call takeaways (strong free cash flow, liquidity, reserve growth, and a sizable buyback) further support the rating, while cash-conversion quality, cost pressures/Çöpler cash drag, and execution risk across multiple operations keep the score from moving higher.
Positive Factors
Conservative balance sheet and low leverage
Low leverage and a large equity base give SSR Mining durable financial flexibility to fund multiyear projects, absorb commodity cycles, and pursue buybacks or opportunistic M&A without immediate reliance on external debt, supporting multi-quarter capital allocation resilience.
Material free cash flow generation
Substantial and improving free cash flow provides an internally funded runway for sustaining capital, development activity, and the $300M buyback program. Strong FCF supports long-term reinvestment and shareholder returns even if metal-price volatility persists.
Expanded reserve and resource base
A materially larger reserve base increases visibility on future production, underpins multi-year output and free cash flow potential, and de-risks the growth pipeline by supporting development projects and sustaining future conversion of resources into production.
Negative Factors
Earnings and cash-flow volatility / conversion quality
Earnings and cash conversion have been inconsistent across recent years, meaning reported profits may not reliably translate into cash. This reduces predictability for funding sustained capex, dividends or buybacks and raises execution risk over the coming quarters.
Çöpler care & maintenance creates recurring cash drag
Until Çöpler restarts or is resolved, quarterly care-and-maintenance outflows are a multi-quarter structural drag on consolidated free cash flow, lowering available internal capital for growth and returns and increasing sensitivity to weaker metal-price periods.
Hod Maden requires large remaining investment and decision risk
Hod Maden offers high prospective returns but needs a multi-hundred-million-dollar commitment and partner approvals. The remaining funding and timing create multi-year execution and capital-allocation risk that could constrain flexibility or delay expected cash flows.

SSR Mining Business Overview & Revenue Model

Company DescriptionSSR Mining Inc., together with its subsidiaries, engages in the acquisition, exploration, development, and operation of precious metal resource properties in Turkey and the Americas. The company explores for gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc deposits. Its projects include the Çöpler Gold mine located in Erzincan, Turkey; the Marigold mine located in Humboldt County, Nevada, the United States; the Seabee Gold Operation located in Saskatchewan, Canada; and the Puna Operations in Jujuy, Argentina. The company was formerly known as Silver Standard Resources Inc. and changed its name to SSR Mining Inc. in August 2017. SSR Mining Inc. was incorporated in 1946 and is based in Denver, Colorado.
How the Company Makes MoneySSR Mining primarily makes money by producing and selling precious metals—mainly gold and silver—from its operated mines. Revenue is generated when mined ore is processed into saleable product (typically doré bars containing gold and/or silver, and in some cases concentrates depending on the operation) and then sold to refineries/traders, with final pricing generally linked to prevailing market prices for the underlying metals (subject to applicable treatment/refining terms and payability). Key revenue streams therefore include (1) gold sales and (2) silver sales, with the mix depending on the production profile of its operating assets in a given period. The company’s earnings are influenced by metal prices, production volumes, ore grades, metallurgical recoveries, operating costs, sustaining capital, and royalties/taxes. Additional contributors to cash flow can include by-product metal credits where applicable, gains/losses from metal sales timing and provisional pricing adjustments, and the effects of any hedging or other risk-management activities if used (specific hedging details: null). Significant partnerships (e.g., streaming/royalty agreements or joint ventures) contributing to earnings: null.

SSR Mining Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Feb 17, 2026
(Q4-2025)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 06, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call highlighted multiple material operational and financial achievements: production above guidance, strong free cash flow, a robust balance sheet (>$1B liquidity), high‑value technical studies (Hod Maden and CC&V TRSs), and significant reserve expansion (~+40% YoY). These positives were tempered by cost pressures (royalties and share‑based compensation), ongoing care & maintenance costs at Çöpler, operational scheduling and blending issues at Marigold, a weak quarter at Seabee, and timing/phasing shifts at Puna. Management provided constructive 2026 guidance and reiterated capital allocation priorities (growth CapEx, Hod Maden pre-construction spend, and a $300M buyback). Overall, the highlights materially outweigh the lowlights, indicating a positive outlook albeit with execution and timing risks on certain assets.
Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Strong Free Cash Flow Generation
Q4 free cash flow of $106 million and full-year free cash flow of $252 million; excluding changes in working capital, full-year free cash flow exceeded $400 million, providing strong internal funding for growth and returns.
Robust Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Ended Q4 with $535 million in cash and total liquidity of over $1 billion, supporting a re-established share buyback program of up to $300 million.
Production Above Guidance
Full-year production of 447,000 gold equivalent ounces exceeded the midpoint of guidance; CC&V attributable production of 125,000 ounces in 2025 well above the prior top-end guidance of 110,000 ounces (≈+13.6% vs top-end).
Hod Maden TRS — Large, High-Grade Development Opportunity
Hod Maden technical report summary: 100% basis expected average production ~240,000 gold equivalent ounces/year (first 3 years) and ~220,000 (first 5 years); NPV of $1.7 billion and 39% IRR at consensus metal prices; expected average annual free cash flow of $328 million at consensus prices (≈$500 million at $4,900/oz gold). Remaining SSR investment expected to total $470 million; 2.5–3 year construction period once project decision is made.
CC&V TRS and Performance
Cripple Creek & Victor TRS: initial 12-year life-of-mine with $824 million NPV at consensus prices. CC&V generated >$200 million in mine-site free cash flow in 2025 versus the ~$100 million upfront transaction cost, demonstrating rapid accretive performance post-acquisition.
Puna Outperformance and Cash Generation
Puna exceeded its 2025 production guidance for the third consecutive year; Q4 production of 2.1 million silver ounces with Q4 AISC of $18.39/oz and full-year AISC of $14.24/oz; Puna delivered >$250 million in mine-site free cash flow in 2025.
Reserve and Resource Base Expansion
Year-end 2025 mineral reserves of 11 million gold equivalent ounces, up nearly 40% year-over-year (driven by consolidation of CC&V and Hod Maden plus drilling/model changes). Measured & indicated and inferred resources total nearly 15 million GEO, supporting future reserve growth.
2026 Production and Cost Guidance
Company production guidance for 2026: 450,000–535,000 gold equivalent ounces. Consolidated AISC guidance $2,360–$2,440/oz (or $2,180–$2,260/oz excluding Çöpler care & maintenance costs). Site-level guidance examples: Marigold 170,000–200,000 oz (AISC $2,320–$2,390), CC&V 125,000–150,000 oz (AISC $1,780–$1,850), Puna 6.25–7.0 million oz silver (AISC $20–$22/oz).
Negative Updates
Higher-Than-Forecast Costs Impacting AISC
Full-year consolidated AISC reached the top end of guidance due to higher-than-forecast royalty costs linked to higher gold prices and increased share-based compensation; this pushed AISC higher despite solid production.
Çöpler Currently on Care & Maintenance
Çöpler is not in operation; company expects cash care & maintenance costs of $20–$25 million per quarter in 2026 and is awaiting final approvals (e-storage facility and pad closure) while maintaining site integrity for potential restart — a recurring cash drag until resolved.
Operational Challenges at Marigold (Blending/Fines)
Marigold required additional technical work and schedule changes due to durable vs nondurable ore (fines) and blending requirements; this altered the short-term production schedule and led to higher sustaining capital investment in 2026 to address haulage and processing needs.
Seabee Weak Quarter and High Costs
Seabee Q4 production was low (~9,000 oz) with a high AISC of $3,433/oz; full-year 2026 guidance expects 60,000–70,000 oz with AISC $2,170–$2,240/oz, reflecting ongoing underground development and seasonality risks weighted to H2.
Timing Shifts at Puna vs Prior Study
2026 silver guidance (6.25–7.0M oz) is lower than the August 2025 study estimate (7–8M oz) due to timing and phasing changes; management describes this as a timing shift (ounces moved into later years) but it introduces near-term variability versus prior expectations.
Hod Maden Requires Significant Remaining Investment and Pending Decision
Hod Maden requires an expected remaining SSR investment of $470 million before construction and is subject to a joint-venture construction decision; while early site works are underway, full construction and cash returns depend on timing and approvals (execution risk and multi-year capital commitment).
Company Guidance
SSR provided detailed 2026 guidance and context: consolidated production of 450,000–535,000 gold‑equivalent ounces, AISC $2,360–$2,440/oz (or $2,180–$2,260/oz excluding Çöpler care & maintenance), Çöpler cash care & maintenance costs $20–$25M/quarter, and total gross spend of ~$150M in 2026; Marigold guidance 170,000–200,000 oz Au at AISC $2,320–$2,390/oz (55–60% H2 weighted) with $108M sustaining capex (70% H1 weighted); CC&V 125,000–150,000 oz at AISC $1,780–$1,850/oz (50–55% H2 weighted); Seabee 60,000–70,000 oz at AISC $2,170–$2,240/oz (≈60% H2 weighted); Puna 6.25–7.0M oz Ag at AISC $20–$22/oz; Hod Maden pre‑construction spend up to ~$15M/month with a 2.5–3 year build after a positive decision (TRS: 2,200 tpd plant, LOM grades 7.6 g/t Au and 1.3% Cu, recoveries ~87% Au/97% Cu, ~240k GEO p.a. first 3 years and 220k GEO p.a. first 5 years, ~$328M annual FCF at consensus or ~ $500M at $4,900/oz Au, $1.7B NPV and 39% IRR, SSR remaining investment ~$470M). Guidance is underpinned by Q4/2025 results: 120k GEO produced, 117k GEO sold at an average realized gold price of $4,142/oz, Q4 net income $181M ($0.84/sh) and adjusted net income $190M ($0.88/sh), Q4 free cash flow $106M and FY free cash flow $252M (>$400M ex‑working capital), year‑end cash $535M and total liquidity >$1B, and a Board‑approved share buyback program of up to $300M.

SSR Mining Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Strong 2025 rebound with higher revenue and solid margins, supported by a conservatively financed balance sheet (low leverage and healthy 2025 ROE). However, earnings and cash flows have been notably volatile (losses in 2023–2024), and 2025 cash conversion lagged net income, which tempers confidence in sustainability.
Income Statement
72
Positive
Profitability rebounded strongly in 2025, with revenue up ~16% and solid margins (gross margin ~36%, net margin ~24%), recovering from losses in 2023–2024. However, results have been volatile across the cycle (positive profits in 2020–2022, losses in 2023–2024), which tempers confidence in earnings stability despite the strong latest year.
Balance Sheet
84
Very Positive
The balance sheet looks conservatively financed with low leverage (debt-to-equity ~0.10–0.15 across the period, ~0.12 in 2025) and a large equity base relative to total assets. Returns on equity are healthy again in 2025 (~11.5%) after turning negative in 2023–2024, suggesting underlying earning power but with notable recent variability.
Cash Flow
63
Positive
Cash generation improved materially in 2025 (operating cash flow ~$480M; free cash flow ~$246M; free cash flow up ~28%), following a weak 2024 (low operating cash flow and negative free cash flow). A key watch item is conversion quality: 2025 operating cash flow was below net income (about 0.78x), and free cash flow was about half of net income, indicating earnings are not fully translating into cash in the latest year even though absolute cash flow is positive.

SSR Mining to Redeem $227.5 Million of Convertible Notes Ahead of Maturity
Positive
Mar 18, 2026

SSR Mining Inc. has issued a notice of redemption for all $227.5 million outstanding of its 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2039, setting March 19, 2026, as the redemption date. The company will pay holders the full principal, accrued interest, and a make-whole premium representing the present value of remaining interest payments to April 1, 2026.

Noteholders may convert their securities into common shares at an adjusted rate of 56.7931 shares per $1,000 principal until 5:00 p.m. New York time on March 19, 2026, after which interest will cease to accrue. If fully converted, about 13 million shares would be issued, a figure already included in SSR Mining’s fully diluted share count, and the move aligns with the company’s active capital management, including repurchasing roughly 20 million shares since 2021 and launching a new $300 million buyback program in February 2026.
