Alamos Gold ( (TSE:AGI) ) has shared an update.
On June 18, 2026, Alamos reported operational setbacks at its Young-Davidson mine, where two seismic events and storm-related power outages damaged infrastructure, restricted access to high-grade stopes and caused about three days of unplanned downtime. As a result, mining rates are expected to average about 5,000 tonnes per day through 2026, with additional ground support and an optimized mining sequence planned to restore higher rates beyond this year.
These issues, combined with lower grades at Young-Davidson and timing of recoveries at La Yaqui Grande, prompted Alamos to cut its second-quarter production guidance to 130,000–135,000 ounces, about 12% below prior expectations, and to warn of higher unit costs. The company now expects 2026 output to fall below the low end of its full-year guidance and costs to exceed earlier targets, even as the Island Gold District ramps up production and the company eliminates remaining 2026 legacy gold hedges at significant cost to gain full leverage to higher prices.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:AGI) stock is a Buy
with a C$60.00 price target.

Spark’s Take on AGI Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, AGI is a Outperform.
The score is driven by strong financial performance (high margins, improving returns, and very low leverage) and a constructive earnings outlook with clear ramp-driven production and cost improvement targets. This is moderated by weak technicals (price below key moving averages with negative momentum) and only moderate valuation support given the low dividend yield.
