Eldorado Gold ( (TSE:ELD) ) has shared an announcement.

Eldorado Gold has agreed to acquire Foran Mining in an all-share transaction that will create a larger gold‑copper miner with a diversified portfolio anchored by the Skouries and McIlvenna Bay projects, both expected to reach commercial production by mid‑2026. The combined company is targeting around 900,000 gold-equivalent ounces of production in 2027 and projects EBITDA of about $2.1 billion and free cash flow of roughly $1.5 billion that year, positioning it for self-funded growth, balance sheet strengthening, and continued capital returns, while enhancing jurisdictional diversification, exploration upside, and potential for a valuation re-rating as a sustainability-focused, sector-leading producer.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:ELD) stock is a Buy with a C$74.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Eldorado Gold stock, see the TSE:ELD Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:ELD Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:ELD is a Outperform.

The score is driven primarily by strong profitability and a solid balance sheet, tempered by negative free cash flow. Technicals support an uptrend, but overbought indicators raise pullback risk. The latest earnings call was mixed: strong production, free cash flow (excluding Skouries) and buybacks, but higher cost guidance and ongoing Olympias challenges pressure outlook.
