what happened
According to TradingView, Buenaventura (BVN) reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $545M, up 27% year on year. EBITDA rose 34% to $261M, and net income reached $268M, up 50%. Free cash flow came in at $242M, cash was about $1B, net cash stood at $307M, and leverage was -0.25x.
At San Gabriel, output is constrained by tailings, with the plant running at roughly 1,400–1,700 tonnes per day. Gold recovery was about 60% in October and is expected to climb to 65–70% by December. The company targets about 600k tonnes in 2027 and 800k tonnes in 2028.
Buenaventura is also moving to owner-operated fleets. Yumpag is now fully company-controlled with about 75% of equipment bought, and El Brocal is set to become a 100% underground operation run by the company by Q2 2027. Capex for 2027 is put at $25–30M.
why it matters
For miners, revenue and cash flow growth alongside cost control are the key measures. Bringing equipment in-house could reduce reliance on contractors, but the benefit depends on delivering the metal recovery and output targets. The news concerns one company and does not set a broader direction for metals markets.
