Against its published line
Nothing is through its line on this close.
How to read this
The red mark is the published kill line — the price that would prove the pick wrong. The dot is where the name closed on 18 September 2026; a dot LEFT of the mark has closed through its line.
Distance is drawn on a square-root scale, so close calls get the room. Past 8% a row stops competing and reads well clear, with a hollow dot to say the figure is off the drawn scale. Rows run tightest first.
Current thesis
SSR Mining’s post-divestiture re-rating rests on cash and repurchases, with weaker momentum after the 2026-09-04 jobs report. A weekly close above the $39.21 market high would confirm the case before a weekly close below $33 invalidates it.
Kill line
A weekly close below $33 ends the post-divestiture re-rating thesis, retaining the research boundary published on 2026-09-04. A reduction below the 450,000-ounce lower end of FY2026 production guidance would separately undermine the operating case.

Current Thesis
SSR Mining’s post-divestiture re-rating thesis rests on cash and repurchases; a weekly close above the market’s $39.21 52-week high would confirm it, while a weekly close below $33 would invalidate it. The measured update is weaker price momentum: the adjusted close was $36.24 on 2026-09-11, compared with $38.89 on 2026-09-03. The latest supplied price series places the shares 7.6% below their 52-week high.
The macro premise also needs revision. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 162,000 additional nonfarm jobs for August on 2026-09-04, exceeding the 53,000 consensus cited in the previous dated coverage. That result weakens the inference that deteriorating employment would support the rate-easing argument; it does not establish what caused SSRM’s subsequent decline. August employment report
The narrative is maturing — the balance-sheet disclosure dates to 2026-08-04, which remained the latest release displayed on SSR Mining’s homepage on 2026-09-13, while the 2026-09-11 close remained below the established high. This is an inference about the story’s development, not a measurement of investor flows. A renewed weekly close above $39.21 alongside a new company disclosure would challenge that assessment.

Bullish and bearish views on SSR Mining Inc.
The model's bull view on SSR Mining Inc. (SSRM), in brief: Cash supports the reset. SSR Mining reported $1,783.0 million of cash and no long-term debt at 2026-06-30. These are dated balance-sheet figures, rather than a September cash estimate. 2026-08-04 results Repurchases have documented execution. The 2026-08-04 release dates the… The bear view: Operating costs constrain the case. On 2026-08-04, management said full-year all-in sustaining costs were trending toward the top of guidance. The same release retained annual production guidance of 450,000–535,000 gold-equivalent ounces, making delivery against that range an… Both cases follow in full.
Bull Case
- Cash supports the reset. SSR Mining reported $1,783.0 million of cash and no long-term debt at 2026-06-30. These are dated balance-sheet figures, rather than a September cash estimate. 2026-08-04 results
- Repurchases have documented execution. The 2026-08-04 release dates the additional $500 million authorization to 2026-06-15 and reports $109.2 million returned under it through 2026-07-31. The authorization was therefore already underway before the August results. Company disclosure
Bear Case
- Operating costs constrain the case. On 2026-08-04, management said full-year all-in sustaining costs were trending toward the top of guidance. The same release retained annual production guidance of 450,000–535,000 gold-equivalent ounces, making delivery against that range an observable operating test. Quarterly results
- Employment challenged the macro premise. The 162,000-job August increase reported on 2026-09-04 did not confirm the labour deterioration anticipated in the prior coverage. A single release cannot establish a durable employment trend. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Setup & Price Structure
The supplied adjusted series shows a 33.2% three-month advance and a 14-period relative strength index (RSI) of 44.7 on 2026-09-11. These observations describe a substantial preceding advance with weaker recent momentum; neither measures crowding. No dated short-interest series, fund-flow data, retail-coverage count or moving-average level is available here to establish positioning or participation.
The $39.21 52-week high in the 2026-09-11 snapshot remains the confirmation threshold. The $33 weekly-close threshold retains the research boundary published on 2026-09-04; the supplied observations do not establish it as a historical support shelf. Moderate conviction reflects the documented balance sheet and repurchases against the weaker close and the 2026-09-04 employment surprise.
Catalyst Calendar (next 30 days)
- 2026-09-27 through 2026-09-30 — Mining Forum Americas. The organizer confirms these dates in Colorado Springs. SSR Mining’s attendance and a company announcement are unconfirmed, so the conference is a sector event rather than a promised capital-deployment catalyst. Organizer’s calendar
The dividend payment date specified in the 2026-08-04 release was 2026-09-11 and has elapsed. That declaration does not independently verify payment completion.
Elapsed catalysts
- 2026-09-16 — Federal Reserve decision and projections. The Federal Open Market Committee meets on 2026-09-15–16, with a Summary of Economic Projections scheduled. The release provides the next dated test of the rate-path interpretation; an upward revision to the projected policy-rate path would contradict the easing premise. Federal Reserve calendar (passed 4d ago)
What Would Change Our Mind
Failure of the retained re-rating boundary would end the price thesis: a weekly close below $33 is the observable condition. Conversely, a weekly close above the $39.21 high identified in the 2026-09-11 snapshot would meet the published price case before that boundary fails.
A reduction below the 450,000-ounce lower end of management’s 2026-08-04 annual production guidance would separately undermine the operating case. The 2026-09-30 conference endpoint is not a company-promised deployment deadline, so silence alone would not establish an operating failure.
Correlation Notes
This remains a single-name capital-return thesis with precious-metals exposure. The 2026-09-04 employment report and the 2026-09-11 equity close are insufficient to estimate a stable relationship between SSRM, gold and interest rates. No synchronized metal-price and equity-return sample is supplied; the sample is too small to support a correlation claim. The Federal Reserve calendar establishes an event date, not the direction of the stock’s response.
Notes
- Dual-listed on Nasdaq and TSX under SSRM; Canadian domicile, reporting in US dollars.
- Post-2026-06-24 divestiture, results are presented on a continuing-operations basis, so year-over-year comparisons are not like-for-like.
- Residual Türkiye exposure persists via the uncapped 4.0% Hod Maden NSR retained on 2026-07-17.
- Puna silver output is Argentina-domiciled and subject to local FX and export-duty regimes.
- No SSR Mining insider transaction filings appeared in the sources checked for this update; absence of a filing is not evidence of absence of activity.
- Reported analyst target aggregates differ by vendor and by snapshot date; the figures cited here are stockanalysis.com's as of 2026-09-04.

Eldorado Gold Corporation
Eldorado Gold’s Skouries expansion thesis now hinges on fourth-quarter 2026 commercial production after first concentrate on September 8. Delivery before a weekly close below $40 would validate the case; a delay into 2027 would contradict the operating schedule.

Fortuna Mining Corp.
Fortuna Mining’s gold-supported cash generation funds its mine-growth story, but the September 11 retreat weakens the recovery case. A weekly close above $13.66 before a weekly close below $11.00 would confirm the equity thesis.

IAMGold Corporation
IAMGOLD’s margin-expansion case depends on Côté lowering costs as gold support weakens. Q3 all-in sustaining costs within the published $2,000–$2,150 per-ounce range and retained annual production guidance would confirm the case before a weekly close below $18.50 invalidates it.

Coeur Mining, Inc.
Coeur Mining’s cash-backed repair thesis requires price recovery and confirmation that reduced production guidance holds. A weekly close above the September $21.24 reference and reaffirmed guidance at the next quarterly report would confirm the case; a weekly close below $19 invalidates it.
