Is Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. (NYSE:BVN) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. at current levels.
Peru's quietest precious metals story is throwing off cash at multi-decade highs, and the market still prices it like 2019 Buenaventura.
Where BVN is headed
San Gabriel pours its first gold in mid-2026 and the Buenaventura that emerges on the other side of 2027 is barely recognisable to anyone who owned this stock through the lost decade. Production sits closer to 350,000 gold-equivalent ounces with copper byproduct credits from Yumpag and Coimolache running at silver prices that finally reflect the monetary metals trade nobody wanted to take seriously in 2022. Revenue has doubled in twelve months, margins above 50%, debt under control, and the company is doing something Peruvian miners almost never do, which is generate free cash while building a new mine.
