Bull of the Day: Ero Copper (ERO)
Ero Copper is a high-growth copper and gold producer headquartered in Vancouver, B.C. but who operates in Brazil. It has a market cap of just $1.5 billion. It's primary asset is a 99.6% interest in the Brazilian copper mining company Mineracao Caraiba S.A., which is a 100% owner of the Caraiba Operations and the Tucuma Operation.
In addition to copper, Ero Copper also owns 97.6% of NX Gold S.A. which owns the Xavantina Operations, a gold and silver mine located in Mato Grosso State, Brazil.
In July 2024, Ero Copper signed a definitive earn-in agreement with Vale Base Metals for a 60% interest in the Furnas Copper-Gold Projected in Para State, Brazil.
Tucuma Operation Achieves Commercial Production as of July 1, 2025
On July 3, 2025, Ero Copper announced that the Tucuma Operation, located in Para State, Brazil, achieved commercial production effective July 1, 2025. The company had long planned for this event in the first half of 2025.
Copper production at Tucuma totaled approximately 6,400 tonnes during Q2, including about 2,000 tonnes of copper produced during the second half of June.
A Big Beat in Q1 2025
On May 5, 2025, Ero Copper reported its first quarter results and easily blew by the Zacks Consensus reporting $0.35 versus the consensus of $0.17.
It has beaten three out of the last four quarters.
At the Caraiba operation, the average C1 cash cost was $2.22 per pound.
At the Xavantina operations, C1 cash costs were $1,100 per ounce with an All-in Sustaining Cost of $2,228 per ounce.
Ero Copper has a streaming agreement with streamer Royal Gold. Total proceeds from that agreement are $160 million as of the end of the first quarter.
It's got cash on hand. At the end of the first quarter available liquidity was $115.6 million, including $80.6 million in cash and $35 million of undrawn availability under the company's senior secured revolving credit facility.
Ero Copper Reaffirmed Full Year Guidance
Ero Copper reaffirmed its full year expenditure guidance of $230 to $270 million.
With the Tucuma Operation now producing commercially, it expects growth in copper production in the second half.
Analysts Are Bullish on Ero Copper for the Full Year
Copper recently hit new all-time highs above $5.50 per pound. Gold has hit new all-time highs in 2025 and is hanging out above $3000 per ounce.
1 estimate has been raised for both 2025 and 2026 in the last week. That has pushed up the 2025 Zacks Consensus Estimate to $2.07 from $2.02. That's earnings growth of 165.4% as the company only made $0.78 last year.
Analysts are bullish on 2026 too. The Zacks Consensus has jumped to $2.78 from $2.61 in the last 7 days. That's earnings growth of 34.1%.
It's volatile on the price and consensus chart, however.
Shares of Ero Copper Rally Big in the Last 3 Months
As you can see from the 5-year price and consensus chart above, it's been a wild ride for long-term investors.
But over the last 3 months, the bulls have been in charge and the shares have rallied big, easily beating even the small cap index, the Russell 2000 (IWM).
Ero Copper is cheap. It trades with a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of just 6.9.
But risks remain. President Trump recently announced a 50% tariff on copper and a 50% tariff on goods out of Brazil. Tune in on the next earnings call, expected on July 31, 2025, to hear from the company.
For those looking for a way to play the record high copper prices, Ero Copper should be on your short list.

‘This can't be happening:' Maritime travellers navigate Air Canada flight cancellations
Seen through a barrier with an Air Canada logo on it, passengers check in for an international Air Canada flight at Vancouver International Airport, in Richmond, B.C., on Wednesday, August 13, 2025. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck) It's been a long and stressful day for Stuart Cherenfant, who is just one of a growing number of Air Canada passengers left scrambling for answers. He was supposed to be headed to the Bahamas but instead has been stuck at Halifax Stanfield International Airport. 'I was supposed to go to Ottawa this morning. My flight was around seven, and I got the notification at the last minute, at around 4:50 a.m. that my flight was cancelled,' explains Cherenfant. '[I thought] this can't be happening because it really took a lot for me to plan this trip. I'm actually heading home for a funeral and it's multiple stops that I have to make.' It comes in the midst of a contentious dispute between Air Canada and the union representing more than ten thousand flight attendants. Both sides continue to negotiate a deal, but progress has stalled as the union remains firm their demands for wages and unpaid work needs to be addressed. The latest on the Air Canada dispute Air Canada has begun cancelling flights ahead of its possible full stoppage this weekend. Air Canada says it's actively rescheduling tickets with other airlines, including competitors, which has brought relief to some travellers at Halifax Stanfield International Airport. 'I'm heading for Sydney, Australia. And I got here and was told my flight was canceled, and they got me rebooked very quickly going through the U.S. instead. Actually, getting me in half an hour earlier than my original flight was scheduled to land,' says traveller Fiona Paterson. Still, the airline says its capacity to rebook 'will be very limited.' As such, Gabor Lucas, the president of Air Passenger Rights, says travelers should know their rights. 'The principle is to wait until the flight is canceled. Don't jump the gun. Give Air Canada one chance to rebook you in accordance with the law,' says Lucas. 'If they fail to do so or refuse to do so, then buy yourself a ticket on a competitor and send Air Canada the bill. Give them 30 days to pay up. They don't pay, serve them with small claims court papers. Don't go to the federal government. The Canadian Transportation Agency is not going to help, and they are swamped with 87,000 complaints. Small claims court is your best friend,' explains Lucas. Meanwhile, Cherenfant says Air Canada eventually rebooked him on a flight leaving out of Halifax Thursday night. 'Hopefully I don't get any more surprises at the last minute,' he says.
