Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

What is the expected gold production for Q2-2026?

Production levels directly impact revenue and profitability, making this a key focus for investors.

What are the projected costs per ounce for gold?

Understanding cost management is crucial for assessing the company's ability to maintain margins in a volatile market.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The market may underestimate Fortuna's ability to manage costs effectively while increasing production, leading to a potential surprise in profitability.

Supporting Evidence

Historical data shows that production can be ramped up quickly in favorable conditions.

The options market is pricing in a larger move than historical averages suggest, indicating potential for volatility.

Recent operational improvements may not be fully reflected in current analyst expectations.

Key Risk

If production comes in below 90,000 ounces, it could significantly impact market confidence.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

This quarter's focus is on balancing production growth with cost management to ensure profitability.

Bull Confirmed If

Gold production exceeding 100,000 ounces would confirm the bull case.

Bear Confirmed If

Cost per ounce rising above $1,200 would confirm the bear case.
