Fresnillo (ISIN GB00B2QPKJ12) was trading at EUR 31.53 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026 at 12:32 p.m. CEST. Zacks assigned Fresnillo a Rank #3, equivalent to Hold, on October 14, 2026, while its fiscal 2026 earnings consensus indicated 54.9 percent year-over-year growth.
Growth estimate meets operating scale
The estimate arrives after a powerful first half. Fresnillo reported USD 3.4 billion in revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026, up 74.7 percent year over year, according to the company's investor materials. Gross profit rose 130.7 percent to USD 2.4 billion, while profit for the period increased 213.0 percent to USD 1.46 billion.
Fresnillo also reported EBITDA of USD 2.35 billion for the first half of 2026, a 113.2 percent increase. The figures explain why the earnings estimate remains elevated, but production was less uniform: attributable silver output fell 11.4 percent year over year to 22.0 million ounces, according to OpenBook Analytics.
What supports the 54.9 percent estimate?
The answer is a combination of metal prices and portfolio expansion. Fresnillo completed its Probe Gold acquisition in January 2026, adding the Novador project and 10 million ounces of gold resources, Zacks reported. The company also acquired a 5 percent stake in Sinda, a silver-gold exploration property in Mexico.
The chronology matters. Fresnillo completed the Probe Gold deal in January 2026, reported first-half revenue of USD 3.4 billion on August 4, 2026, and received the latest Zacks assessment on October 14, 2026. Each step added either operating scale or a fresh valuation reference.
Dates on the company calendar
Fresnillo presented at Mining Forum Americas on September 28, 2026, and its next earnings date is March 9, 2027, according to the company page and Investing.com. The next reporting milestone will test whether production performance can support the strong earnings assumptions.
Stock price and investor context
