Seeking Alpha's quant system uses a GARP-plus strategy, analyzing 5,000+ stocks for value, growth, profitability, momentum, and EPS revisions. The quant system has outperformed the S&P 500 since 2010, with Alpha Picks up 240% and Pro Quant Portfolio up 40% since June.

SSR Mining is rated a riskier 'buy' after a 215% YTD rally, driven by higher metals prices and the CC&V acquisition. Q2-25 saw production surge 58% and revenues more than double, despite Çöpler Mine's ongoing suspension and challenges at Seabee. Çöpler's restart and the Hod Maden project are key catalysts; both could significantly boost SSRM's future cash flow and valuation.

SSR Mining remains a Buy, supported by strong cash flows, a net cash position, and significant upside even without Çöpler mine contributions. SSR Mining delivered an impressive Q2 with $98.38 million in free cash flow, more than doubled YoY gold production, and $912.1 million in liquidity, driven by higher gold prices. Çöpler mine restart is a major potential catalyst, while the Hod Maden project and expanded Puna mine life further strengthen SSR Mining's growth pipeline in gold, silver and copper.

Gold set new records with expectations high the Fed will cut rates on Sept. 17, further fueled by a weak dollar, inflation, and uncertainty from trade disputes. The yellow metal might have more room to run, according to Goldman Sachs analysts, who project gold could rise to $5,000/oz depending on Federal Reserve policy decisions. Booming gold stocks are outperforming bullion as profits rise and margins widen. During Q2, average gold prices rose 15% sequentially to $3,280/oz, while production costs edged up slightly.

The S&P 500 wrapped up a strong Q2 earnings season, with over 80% of companies reporting positive surprises, despite rising tariffs, driven by resilient consumer demand and huge AI spending. The S&P 500 delivered EPS growth of 12% YoY, driven by communication and tech stocks. Communication services also led in magnitude of beats, while tech's surprise percentage underperformed. SA Quant identified ten stocks that crushed Q2 earnings by 110% on average, including companies that successfully navigated tariff headwinds, exploited AI megatrends, or rode the spike in gold prices.

I rate SSR Mining a buy due to strong asset performance, discounted valuation, and gold price tailwinds despite recent operational setbacks. The Copler mine suspension was a major hit, but the quick rebound in earnings and revenue from other assets shows resilience. The acquisition of Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mine has transformed SSRM, making it a top U.S. gold producer and boosting cash flow.

Nearly $700M in liquidity and minimal leverage give resilience, enabling consistent dividends and opportunistic buybacks, even during operational disruptions, ensuring stability and flexibility across market cycles. Gold above $3,300 and firm silver prices create asymmetric upside, with stable operations providing strong earnings leverage to higher metals, positioning the company to outperform in a supportive commodity cycle. Marigold, Seabee, and Puna delivered reliable results despite Çöpler suspension, offering a balanced portfolio of production and cash flow that supports ongoing capital returns and growth initiatives.

SSR Mining delivered strong operational and financial results, driven by CC&V acquisition, robust North/South American mines, and rising precious metal prices. Despite Turkish operational setbacks, the company maintains a solid balance sheet, high liquidity, and positive production/cost guidance for 2025. Key growth catalysts include CC&V's expansion, Puna's mine life extension, and Marigold's reserve/resource growth, supported by favorable gold and silver price outlooks.
