  • Aris Mining Q4 and 2025 Earnings Rise on Expansion, Margin Gains Under Scrutiny
    March 20, 2026, 11:47 AM EDT. Aris Mining Corporation (TSX:ARIS) reported a strong Q4 2025 with sales hitting US$308.57 million and net income at US$50.86 million, pushing full-year sales to US$927.66 million and net income to US$78.35 million. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations rose to US$0.41, reflecting improved operational efficiency. The company's growth is driven by expansion projects in Colombia, notably at Segovia and Marmato mines. However, margins hinge on successful project execution, with risks around technical delays and permitting. The 2026 production guidance targets 300,000 to 350,000 ounces, up from 256,503 ounces in 2025. Analysts are divided, with optimistic forecasts of revenues up to US$2.6 billion by 2028, contrasting with cautious views centered on execution challenges. Aris Mining's shares currently trade below a CA$36.17 fair value estimate, implying a 58% upside potential.
