Is McEwen Inc. (NYSE:MUX) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating McEwen Inc. at current levels.
Rob McEwen's second act finally has cash flow, a copper option, and gold above $3,000 doing the heavy lifting.
Where MUX is headed
McEwen Inc. spent a decade being a story stock attached to a legendary name that had lost its Midas touch. That framing is now stale. Gold sitting north of $3,000/oz through most of 2025 and 2026 has done what a decade of operational tinkering could not, it has pulled Gold Bar, Fox Complex, and the San José JV into genuine free cash flow generation. Revenue more than doubled TTM, operating margin flipped positive at 14.7%, and the company is running with a 20% debt-to-equity ratio, which for a junior gold producer is close to conservative. The setup for the next 24 months is straightforward, if gold holds anywhere near current levels, McEwen prints cash. If gold pushes higher on continued central bank buying and dollar debasement trades, the operating leverage is violent.
