Most Popular Narrative: 26% Undervalued

Compañía de Minas BuenaventuraA's most followed narrative pegs fair value at $37.53 versus the last close of $27.92, which frames the current pullback as a valuation gap rather than just noise.

The ongoing ramp-up of the San Gabriel project, with management now targeting throughput of 2,000 tonnes per day by 3Q 2026 and 3,000 tonnes per day by the end of 2027, along with a step up in gold recoveries toward about 70% by late 2026 and 85% by late 2027 after installing a flotation circuit, could support higher gold volumes and improved net margins.

See why 20 investors see Compañía de Minas BuenaventuraA as 26% undervalued.

Result: Fair Value of $37.53 (UNDERVALUED)
