Valuation Metrics
Fundamental Analysis
Key Financial Insights: ⢠Strong balance sheet ⢠Margin compression ⢠Positive free cash flow IAG has a solid balance sheet and improved liquidity with positive recent free cash flow, but significant yearâoverâyear margin compression and heavy capexâcombined with an expanded valuationâreduce upside.
Price Behavior
Key Price Behavior Insights: ⢠Steady uptrend ⢠Resistance break ⢠Overbought risk Support Level: $16.30-$16.50 Resistance Level: $17.50 IAG has trended higher over the last month from about $15.54 to $17.80, breaking resistance near $17.50 but edging toward overbought territory that could prompt a short-term pullback.
Sentiment & News
Key News Insights: ⢠Major acquisitions ⢠CôtÊ ramp-up ⢠Guidance miss Iamgold's shares have surged after strong 2025 performance, CôtÊ ramp-up and two strategic Quebec acquisitions boosting resources and analyst upgrades, though mixed Q3 results and a guidance miss temper near-term outlook.
AI Summary
IAG has shifted from a pure gold-priceâleveraged miner to a capital-allocation story where deleveraging plus M&A and a successful CĂ´tĂŠ throughput ramp (second-crusher installation) are the primary drivers of multi-year cash generation and returns; monitor CĂ´tĂŠ throughput/AISC, quarterly FCF, and net-debt trends as the single-point catalysts that will validate or invalidate the rerating. The key risk is executionâif CĂ´tĂŠ/Westwood fail to cut unit costs or expansion capex/royalty changes hit margins, the market's elevated valuation leaves little downside cushion. #CĂ´tĂŠRampâ
