Inc. reports fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results after the market close Tuesday, a pivotal moment for the mid-tier gold miner as it seeks to capitalize on surging precious metals prices while addressing operational challenges at its suspended Turkish mine.
Analysts expect SSR Mining to earn $0.60 per share on revenue of $465.4 million for the fourth quarter, representing an 88% sequential improvement from the third quarter’s $0.32 per share and a 21% revenue increase from $385.8 million. The forecasts follow a disappointing third quarter in which the company missed both EPS and revenue estimates by roughly 7-8%.
EPS estimates have ticked up 2.5% over the past week, suggesting renewed confidence heading into the print. However, those same estimates remain down more than 12% over the past two months, reflecting lingering caution about the company’s operational execution. Revenue estimates have followed a similar pattern, rising nearly 4% in recent days after declining 10% over the prior 60 days.
Wall Street remains divided on SSR Mining, with recent ratings spanning from Buy to Sell. TD Cowen upgraded the stock to Buy in late January, while UBS maintained its Buy rating in early February with a $36 price target. The bulls cite compelling valuation and leverage to higher gold prices, while bears point to execution risks.
What Investors Are Watching
The report will provide the first comprehensive look at how SSR Mining is managing three critical priorities. First, can the company demonstrate the operational improvements needed to restore investor confidence after the third-quarter miss, particularly as gold prices have climbed back above $5,000 per ounce after briefly retreating below $4,500 in early February?
Second, investors are awaiting clarity on the suspended Çöpler mine in Turkey. The asset has been offline following safety concerns, and TD Cowen noted that while timing remains uncertain for a restart, “we are likely getting closer to this positive potential catalyst”. Any concrete timeline would likely move shares.
Third, the company will provide its 2026 operating guidance and updated mineral reserves and resources, the first such outlook incorporating its recent acquisition of the Cripple Creek & Victor mine in Colorado. How management frames production targets and free cash flow expectations will set the tone for the year ahead.
SSR Mining shares have surged more than 220% over the past year to $28.11, trading near their 52-week high of $28.81. The stock now trades at 15.4 times forward earnings, a discount analysts say doesn’t fully reflect improved free cash flow performance or the company’s sensitivity to rising gold prices.
Whether Tuesday’s results validate that optimism—or expose lingering operational vulnerabilities—will determine if the stock can extend its remarkable run or face profit-taking pressure.
