Most Popular Narrative: 51.7% Undervalued
Compared with the last close of CA$19.96, the most followed narrative for Aris Mining places fair value at CA$41.36, using an 8.07% discount rate to frame that gap.
The ongoing expansion at the Segovia operations, with the new second ball mill increasing processing capacity by 50% and a targeted production ramp up to 300,000 ounces in 2026, is described as a driver of sustained revenue growth and structurally higher operating margins as fixed costs are leveraged over larger output. Progress on the Marmato Lower Mine project is reported as remaining on track, with first ore and production ramp up expected in the second half of 2026. Upon completion, the combined Marmato complex is presented as being positioned to contribute over 200,000 ounces of gold annually, nearly doubling companywide production capacity and significantly affecting future earnings.
This narrative raises the question of what kind of revenue and margin profile would have to underpin that fair value estimate for Aris Mining. The narrative relies on ambitious volume growth and higher profitability to explain the gap to today’s share price.
Result: Fair Value of CA$41.36 (UNDERVALUED)
