The company reported reduced production due to operational challenges, particularly at the Canadian Malartic mine, where a rock mass movement is expected to lessen gold output by 60,000-80,000 ounces in the latter half of 2026. Additionally, the consensus estimate for AEM’s 2026 earnings has been revised lower in recent weeks.
