An update from Compania de Minas Buenaventura SAA ( (BVN) ) is now available.
On February 26, 2026, Buenaventura reported a strong finish to 2025, with fourth-quarter silver output up 2% year-on-year and sharp gains in lead and zinc, though gold production fell 11% due mainly to lower volumes at Tambomayo while copper was flat versus 4Q24. For the full year 2025, revenue rose 50% to US$1.73 billion, EBITDA from direct operations nearly doubled to US$811.9 million, and net income climbed 94% to US$782.1 million, reflecting improved operating performance and higher contribution from affiliates.
Fourth-quarter 2025 results underscored this earnings momentum, with revenue more than doubling, operating income up 549% and net income jumping to US$383.6 million, supported by a surge in EBITDA including affiliates to US$555.3 million. The company continued to invest heavily in growth by allocating US$153.4 million of 4Q25 capex to complete construction of the San Gabriel processing plant, ended the year with US$529.8 million in cash and low leverage of 0.22x, received a US$97.9 million dividend from Cerro Verde in January 2026, and the board proposed a cash dividend of US$0.9904 per share/ADS, signaling confidence in its balance sheet and cash generation.

Spark’s Take on BVN Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, BVN is a Outperform.
Overall score is driven by strong profitability and an improving technical trend (price above major moving averages with positive MACD). The score is tempered by weakening free cash flow and mixed earnings-call fundamentals, including lower production and net income despite higher EBITDA and near-completion of the San Gabriel project.
