Analysis · MUX · Energy & Transportation
A sharp earnings turnaround defined McEwen Inc.'s Q2 2026, as net income reached $9.6 million compared to $3.0 million a year ago, fueled by higher gold prices and a 27% revenue surge. The balance sheet strengthened considerably, with cash and equivalents rising to $78.9 million, thanks in part to $58.3 million in dividends from its San José mine stake. During the quarter, the company also closed the acquisition of Golden Lake Exploration, adding adjacent exploration ground. In a separate development, COO William Shaver notified the company of his intent to retire within a year, introducing a layer of leadership uncertainty. While the results underscore the company's cash-generation ability in a favorable gold price environment, the COO departure and ongoing cost pressures at Gold Bar warrant close attention.
