Capstone Copper stock fell 3.24 percent to CAD 12.25 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on October 16, 2026, its last completed trading session before the October 17 publication date. The move gives the stock report a sharper edge than the broader S&P/TSX Composite, which gained 0.11 percent that session.
MarketBeat reported on October 16, 2026 that Scotiabank lifted its fiscal 2026 earnings-per-share forecast for Capstone Copper to USD 0.64 from USD 0.61. The same report placed the consensus 12-month target at CAD 17.15 from 10 analysts, which is 40.00 percent above the CAD 12.25 closing price.
Forecast rises while volume stays active
The Scotiabank change concerns an estimate rather than a reported result. Capstone Copper's latest standardized financial data show second-quarter 2026 revenue of USD 739.65 million and net income of USD 74.26 million, while operating cash flow reached USD 278.72 million in that period. These figures keep the earnings forecast tied to a business with measurable operating cash generation.
Stock sits below its yearly high
The CAD 12.25 close stood 32.15 percent below the 52-week high of CAD 18.04 and 31.72 percent above the 52-week low of CAD 9.30. Trading volume was 3,333,677 shares, compared with an average volume of 3,155,088 shares. The market capitalization was CAD 9.4 billion and the trailing P/E ratio was 14.10 as of October 16, 2026.
