Valuation Metrics
Fundamental Analysis
Key Financial Insights: • High margins • Strong cashflow • Low asset turnover Buenaventura combines strong profitability (net margin 35%, EBITDA margin 54%), robust cash generation and low leverage with constrained asset turnover and heavy capital/investment deployment that pressure working capital and could limit FCF upside.
Price Behavior
Key Price Behavior Insights: • Higher highs • Broken resistance • Rapid surge Support Level: $27–$29 Resistance Level: $30 Over the last month BVN has trended strongly higher from about $24.28 to $34.90, breaking resistance near $30 and showing bullish momentum while risking an overbought pullback.
Sentiment & News
Key News Insights: • San Gabriel commissioning • Q3 EBITDA jump • Investor profit-taking Buenaventura's San Gabriel commissioning and stronger Q3 EBITDA catalyzed a run to 52-week highs and ~150% stock gains, while Oldfield Partners' Q4 sell-down signals investor profit-taking.
AI Summary
Buenaventura's commissioning of San Gabriel reframes the stock from a capital‑intensive developer into a near‑term free‑cash‑flow generator that can fund dividends and debt reduction, but the investment thesis now hinges on San Gabriel hitting 2026 throughput/grade targets and stable metal prices—monitor monthly throughput, unit costs, and receivable timing as the primary execution/commodity risk triggers.
