Why is IAMGOLD Corporation (IAG) stock moving?
IAMGOLD (NYSE: IAG) missed Q3 2026 consensus, with adjusted EPS of $0.42 against $0.51 expected and sales of $856.5M against $886.4M. The Q3 MD&A and financial statements were filed with the SEC on Nov 5, and the earnings call transcript followed on Nov 6. The price action after the miss was strongly positive: the stock bottomed at a $15.45 close on Oct 30 on 7.2M shares of volume, then rallied about 28% to a $19.84 close on Nov 9 with heavy volume on Nov 4 to Nov 6 (8.7M to 9.5M shares). On Nov 10 it fell 6.7% to $18.52 on 5.5M shares, trading between $18.25 and $19.26. The provided news does not explain the post-earnings rally, and no guidance, gold price, or cost data was supplied, so the fundamental picture is incomplete. The earnings miss is the main fundamental negative, while the sharp run-up and the Nov 10 pullback suggest a volatile, unsettled trend. News items for other companies that use the IAG ticker (iA Financial Group on TSX and International Consolidated Airlines Group on LSE) were excluded.

About IAMGold Corporation
IAMGOLD is a mid-sized, Toronto-based gold miner that runs the Côté Gold and Westwood mines in Canada and the Essakane mine in Burkina Faso. What sets it apart is Côté Gold, one of Canada's largest producing gold mines, which it operates and owns 70% of alongside Sumitomo Metal Mining (30%).
How it makes money
Nearly all of its revenue comes from selling the gold it mines, so its sales and profits rise and fall with the gold price and how many ounces it produces. Its 2026 guidance is roughly 720,000–820,000 attributable ounces. Q2 2026 revenue was about $857 million. Costs per ounce matter a lot: all-in sustaining costs were around $2,270/oz in Q2 2026, and royalties go up when gold prices rise. Some value also comes from exploration (for example the Nelligan complex in Quebec) and from asset sales, such as its recent sale of a Senegal joint-venture stake for about $70 million.
