  • SSR Mining (TSX:SSRM) Shares Fall 24.5% in Month Amid Çöpler Sale and Valuation Debate
    March 21, 2026, 11:44 PM EDT. SSR Mining (TSX:SSRM) saw its share price drop 4.8% in one day and 24.5% over the past month, raising questions about its valuation after a strong prior run. Despite recent declines, the company boasts a 1-year total shareholder return of 102.3%. Analysts estimate a fair value around CA$38.85, above the current CA$31.48, factoring in a pending CA$1.5 billion cash injection from the Çöpler mine sale. Valuation relies on price-to-net asset value (P/NAV) ratios and future production forecasts. Risks include potential delays in the Çöpler sale and margin pressures from rising costs at key sites like Marigold and Puna. Investor sentiment remains cautiously optimistic as analysts weigh headwinds against long-term value prospects.
