Coeur Mining is a North American precious metals miner that just completed the largest acquisition in its history, the $1.0 billion-plus New Gold acquisition that closed in late March 2026 and brought the New Afton (British Columbia copper-gold) and Rainy River (Ontario gold) operations into the portfolio, and the question for the next twelve months is whether the integration of those new assets can sustain the record financial performance the company just printed. The Q2 2026 print was the cleanest test yet of that thesis, and the cleanest signal is that it was the first full quarter of contribution from the New Afton and Rainy River operations, and the cash position more than doubled to $1.1 billion at quarter-end. The combination of the $1.1 billion of Q2 2026 record revenue up 27 percent quarter over quarter and 126 percent year over year, the $478 million of Q2 2026 record Adjusted EBITDA up 124 percent year over year, the $388 million of Q2 2026 free cash flow up 165 percent year over year, the 163,490 ounces of Q2 2026 record gold production up 51 percent year over year, the $122 million of Q2 2026 GAAP net income, the $0.12 Q2 2026 diluted EPS, the 4.4 million ounces of Q2 2026 silver production, the $4,140 per gold ounce of Q2 2026 average realized gold price, the $71.18 per silver ounce of Q2 2026 average realized silver price, the 30 percent silver contribution to Q2 2026 revenue, the New Gold acquisition closing in late March, the New Afton and Rainy River operations, the enhanced capital return program, the $121 million of share repurchases through July 31, the 6.7 million shares repurchased, the inaugural $0.02 per share semi-annual dividend paid in June, the elimination of $39 million of capital leases, the 2026 guidance update to reflect lower prices, the 690,000 ounces of full-year 2026 gold production guidance, the 20 million ounces of full-year 2026 silver production guidance, the 45 million pounds of full-year 2026 copper production guidance, the $2.3 billion of full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance, the $1.5 billion of full-year 2026 free cash flow guidance, the 6.8 million tonnes of Q2 2026 Rochester crushed ore (a quarterly record, +15% QoQ), and the Wharf gold production nearly doubling is the cleanest single read on what the New-Gold-integration pivot is producing. The strategic tension is the lower realized gold and silver prices against the record production and the strong free cash flow, and the forward question is whether the integration of New Afton and Rainy River can deliver the 2026 guidance and whether the enhanced capital return program can continue.
