SSR Mining: Major Re-Rating Potential Remains After Çöpler Sale

SSR Mining (SSRM) is rated Buy, reflecting its Americas-focused pivot and strong performance, though no longer a Strong Buy after a significant rally since upgrading them. Q1 results exceeded EPS and revenue estimates, with $210.78M in free cash flow despite production being weighted toward H2 and AISC pressures. The Çöpler sale ($1.5B) is expected to close by the end of Q3 2026, unlocking capital for growth, buybacks, and reducing Turkey-related risk, supporting a potential re-rating as they pivot.
