Is IAMGOLD Corporation (NYSE:IAG) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating IAMGOLD Corporation at current levels.
Côté is finally pouring at scale, gold is above $3,400, and the market still treats IAG like a turnaround story.
Where IAG is headed
Côté Gold went from being IAMGOLD's albatross to its argument. The Ontario mine that blew through budgets and timelines for years is now running at design throughput, and the financials reflect it: revenue up 116% over the trailing twelve months, $972M in free cash flow, operating margins above 50%. None of this is mysterious. It is what happens when a tier-one orebody hits commercial production into a gold tape that has spent 2025 and 2026 grinding from $2,600 to north of $3,400 an ounce. The setup that bears spent five years warning about (debt, dilution, capex creep) has resolved, and the company is sitting on a debt-to-equity ratio of 15% with a real balance sheet for the first time in a decade.
