Mining Stocks: May 2026

So, how did the heavy hitters of the mining sector do in May 2026?

Let’s see… Barrick, Teck, HudBay, and Agnico—all captured weekdays at 4 p.m. ET, priced in Canadian dollars. You’ll probably notice a ghost town on the 18th. Victoria Day long weekend. The markets took a breather. As for the month itself? It had a definite rhythm. A strong push early on, a bit of a mid-month wobble, and then a scramble to recover as we headed into the summer.

Barrick Gold

Barrick opened May at $52.75. It didn’t take long to heat up, climbing steadily to hit a monthly high of $64.40 on the 11th. That peak didn’t stick around, though. The price drifted back down into the mid-$50s by the 19th. It tried to rally after that, closing out the month at $58.90 on the 29th.

Teck Resources

Teck started at $79.04 and showed some real strength in the first half, pushing up to $91.80 by the 13th. Then came the pullback. It slipped down to $81.50 on the 19th. But Teck found its legs again in the final week, making a solid run back up to close at $91.19.

HudBay Minerals

HudBay had an interesting finish. It opened the month at $31.02 and climbed to $38.07 on the 13th. After the mid-month dip—which brought it down to $32.89 on the 19th—the stock really caught a bid. It surged in the final days, hitting its monthly high of $40.31 right on the 29th.

Agnico Eagle

Agnico followed the familiar pattern. Opening at $249.67, it peaked early at $270.23 on the 12th. The middle of the month wasn’t kind, with the price dropping to $238.35 on the 19th. It managed to claw some of that back, ending May at $253.48.

The Raw Data

That’s the story for May. A lot of ups and downs, but some strong finishes to close it out. For the daily breakdown, check out the full raw data post.

Input Sector Equities: April 2026

Alright, shifting gears for April 2026. We’ve added a few new names to the tracker—Algoma, Suncor, and TransAlta—representing the input sector equities that keep the mining industry supplied. As always, the closing prices were captured weekdays at 4 p.m. ET in Canadian dollars. Let’s see how they fared through the month.

Algoma

Algoma had a solid run early on. The stock opened the month at $5.72 on April 1st and climbed steadily from there. The momentum peaked around mid-month, with the price hitting a high of $6.96 on the 14th. The latter half of April saw a bit of a pullback, with some fluctuation, but Algoma still managed to close out the 30th at $6.37—well above where it started.

Suncor

Suncor’s path was a bit more of a round trip. It kicked off April at $90.29 and initially trended upward, reaching $92.79 on the 7th. Then came a slide. The price dropped through the middle of the month, bottoming out at $83.69 on the 17th. That dip didn’t last, though. Suncor mounted a strong recovery in the final week, surging to close the month at $93.08, which was also its peak for April.

TransAlta

TransAlta couldn’t quite hold onto its early gains. The stock opened at $18.50 and saw some early strength, climbing to a monthly high of $19.36 on the 10th. From there, the trend shifted downward. The price drifted lower through the second half of the month, hitting a low of $16.45 on the 29th. A slight bounce on the final day brought it back up to $16.93, but it still finished the month in the red.

The Raw Data

That wraps up the April numbers for these input sector equities. A mixed bag of mid-month peaks and recoveries. If you want to dig into the specific daily closing figures, head over to the full raw data post for April.

Sector Support: March 2026

Looking to the companies that keep the mines running, let’s take a glance at the heavy equipment dealers. We tracked Finning and Toromont through March 2026, capturing their closing prices weekdays at 4 p.m. ET in Canadian dollars. It wasn’t the smoothest month for either stock, with both seeing distinct downward pressure as the weeks wore on.

Finning

Finning came out of the gate strong on March 2nd, opening at $97.96. That turned out to be the high point for the entire month. From there, the price began a fairly consistent slide. By mid-month, it had dipped into the high $80s. The real drop came later, though. On March 20th, Finning hit its monthly low of $80.65. There was a bit of a bounce in the final days, but the stock ultimately closed March at $86.08.

Toromont

Toromont followed a similar path. It started the month at $213.79 on the 2nd. The first week saw a decline, pushing the price below the $200 mark by the 6th. It tried to steady itself around the $200 level mid-month—touching $201.79 on the 11th—but couldn’t hold it. The slide resumed, and Toromont hit its low of $189.96 on the 30th. A final-day rally brought it back up slightly, closing the month at $194.76.

The Raw Data

That’s the picture for the mining support sector in March. Both dealers saw their best prices at the start of the month and their worst near the end. For the full set of daily closing figures, check out the raw data post for March.
