Why Aris Mining stock is back on investors’ radar

See our latest analysis for Aris Mining.

The recent production beat, higher 2026 guidance, Marmato expansion plans and leadership reshuffle appear to be feeding into strong momentum, with a 30 day share price return of 24.51% and a very large 1 year total shareholder return, while multi year total shareholder returns above 3x suggest that momentum has been in place for some time.

If Aris Mining’s run has you thinking about what else is moving, it could be a good moment to broaden your search with fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

With Aris Mining shares up sharply and the company trading at about a 9% discount to the average analyst price target of CA$30.19, you have to ask whether there is still a buying opportunity here or if the market is already pricing in future growth.

Most Popular Narrative: 4% Undervalued

The most followed narrative pegs Aris Mining’s fair value at about CA$28.89, only slightly above the last close of CA$27.74, which puts the current move into context.

Progress on the Marmato Lower Mine project remains on track, with first ore and production ramp-up expected in the second half of 2026; upon completion, the combined Marmato complex is positioned to contribute over 200,000 ounces of gold annually, nearly doubling companywide production capacity and greatly enhancing future earnings.

Another View: High P/E Puts Pressure On The Story

The fair value narrative paints Aris Mining as about 4% undervalued at CA$28.89, but the current P/E of 84.2x tells a tougher story. That is far above peers at 8x, the Canadian Metals and Mining average at 27.8x, and even the 60.4x fair ratio the model points to. This leaves less room for error if the growth thesis wobbles.
