New York, Feb 24, 2026, 08:00 ET — Premarket
- Aura Minerals down 1.4% before the open after a 6.4% jump on Monday
- Shares hit $80.35, a new 52-week high, during the prior session
- Investors are looking to Feb. 26 earnings for the next catalyst
Aura Minerals Inc shares dipped in premarket trading on Tuesday, giving back a slice of Monday’s rally that drove the stock to a fresh 52-week high. The Nasdaq-listed miner was down 1.4% at $78.28 before the regular session opens at 9:30 a.m. ET, after ending Monday up 6.4% at $79.39. It traded as high as $80.35 in the prior session, with about 1.08 million shares changing hands. (StockAnalysis)
The timing matters because gold prices pulled back sharply, and miners can trade like a levered bet on bullion when the metal turns. Spot gold fell more than 1% on Tuesday after touching a three-week high earlier in the session, as the dollar firmed and investors locked in gains. “There was some profit taking as prices spiked to highs of around $5,249/oz,” said Zain Vawda, an analyst at MarketPulse by OANDA.

Investors are also moving into a key calendar week for Aura, with the company’s fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 earnings release due on Feb. 26, followed by a conference call on Feb. 27, its investor schedule shows. Aura is also due to file its annual report on Form 20-F on March 31. (Aura Minerals)
Aura is a mid-tier gold and copper producer with operating mines in Honduras, Brazil and Mexico, along with development and exploration assets in Latin America. Its operating assets include the Minosa gold mine in Honduras, several gold mines in Brazil, and the Aranzazu copper, gold and silver mine in Mexico, according to a company profile on Reuters.

Monday’s move pushed the stock to the top of its 52-week range, with the shares now brushing up against the $80.35 level that marked the session high. That kind of tape can attract fast money, then punish it.
Moves in bullion tend to spill across the gold complex, from giants such as Newmont and Barrick to smaller producers, especially when macro headlines jolt the dollar and risk appetite.
In Aura’s case, the next read-through is likely to be guidance and cost commentary. Investors typically focus on output trends and “all-in sustaining costs,” an industry yardstick for producing an ounce of gold that includes ongoing operating costs plus sustaining capital.
But the setup also cuts the other way. A deeper drop in gold prices, or any disappointment in earnings or outlook, can spark a quick unwind when a stock is pressing new highs.
