Capstone Copper Reports Third-Quarter and Nine-Month Results for Period Ended September 30, 2026
Key Facts
Capstone Copper reported its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2026, according to a statement the company published via Business Wire. The announcement came after the market close on Thursday, October 29, 2026, in line with the timing the company had set in advance. The company was scheduled to hold an investor call the same day at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time. The information available here did not include revenue, earnings or production figures for the third quarter, so verified details on the company’s performance during that period are unavailable. In the market, EL7 data showed that the company’s shares, listed under the ticker CSCCF, closed at $8.52 on October 28, the day before the announcement.
The announcement follows second-quarter results in which the company recorded revenue of $739.7 million, compared with $543.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, according to a Capstone statement. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization were $354.0 million, versus $215.6 million a year earlier. But consolidated copper production fell to 51,759 tonnes from 57,416 tonnes in the comparable period, a year-on-year decline of 10%. These figures presented a mixed picture for the second quarter: record revenue and adjusted earnings alongside lower production than a year earlier. That comparison alone does not reveal the third-quarter results the company announced on October 29.
In its previous update, Capstone kept its 2026 copper production guidance at 200,000 to 230,000 tonnes and maintained its C1 cash cost range at $2.45 to $2.75 per payable pound. After the first half was completed, CEO Cashel Meagher said the company had reaffirmed its annual guidance and was “well positioned for a stronger second half.” The company links its longer-term plans to the growth projects it has outlined, saying they provide a path to annual copper production of about 375,000 tonnes with lower cash costs. This guidance and expansion plans provide context for the annual results expected, but do not in themselves establish that the company met its production or cost targets in the third quarter. The information available did not provide updated details on how the third-quarter results affected the guidance or growth projects.
