• Positive Sentiment: Zacks sharply raised FY2026 and FY2027 EPS forecasts (FY2026 to $16.86 from $10.88; FY2027 to $16.28 from $9.65), implying materially stronger profitability than prior Zacks models — this is a clear positive earnings catalyst. MarketBeat AEM coverage

These across-the-board upgrades suggest Zacks expects stronger production, pricing or cost trends — supportive for multiple re-rating. MarketBeat AEM coverage
• Neutral Sentiment: Zacks issued an initial FY2028 EPS projection of $16.81. While in line with the raised FY2026–FY2027 trajectory, FY2028 is an early estimate and should be treated as provisional until corroborated by company guidance or additional analyst coverage. MarketBeat AEM coverage
