Agnico Eagle beats Q3 revenue and EPS but gold output misses forecast
Question
Agnico Eagle beats Q3 revenue and EPS but gold output misses forecast
Direct answer
Agnico Eagle Mines posted Q3 2026 top-line revenue of $3.58 billion, representing a 17.1% increase over the prior-year period and exceeding Wall Street expectations by 0.89%. Diluted earnings per share came in at $2.61, outpacing consensus projections by 5.67%. The operational headline was a production shortfall. Agnico produced 814,012 ounces of gold during the quarter, missing consensus expectations of 855,021.60 ounces. The volume gap flags potential temporary mill throughput constraints or grade variability across key operating assets. With bullion prices elevated, revenue durability absorbed the volume shortfall. Traders will monitor whether management updates full-year 2026 production guidance or unit cost guidance during the morning conference call. — bullish pressure on GLD.
