Ero Copper Corp. (ERO:CA)
BMO Capital Markets has raised its 12 month target price for Ero Copper Corp to C$27 from C$24, citing increased confidence in the company’s near-term growth trajectory. The upgrade comes as Ero Copper advances the ramp-up of its Tucumã project in Brazil, a key catalyst expected to significantly boost copper production and enhance free cash flow generation.
The Tucumã project, one of Ero Copper’s flagship developments, is entering a critical operational phase. BMO analysts believe that as the mine transitions from development into full production, it will contribute meaningfully to the company’s overall output. This expansion is also expected to improve Ero’s cost profile and cash margins, strengthening its financial flexibility and long-term sustainability.
The upward revision reflects BMO’s view that Ero Copper is well-positioned to capitalize on rising copper demand, driven by global electrification trends and the energy transition. The firm’s disciplined capital management, solid balance sheet, and favorable exposure to copper fundamentals add to its investment appeal.
Ero Copper Corp has a consensus “Buy” rating from analysts, with an average 12-month price target of CAD $28 per share. The positive outlook is driven by expectations that the ramp-up of the Tucumã project will significantly boost copper production and enhance free cash flow generation.

Comment Writing for BlogThe upgrade from BMO Capital makes sense given the timing of Tucumã’s ramp-up—transitioning from development to production could be a major inflection point for Ero Copper. It’ll be interesting to see how the improved cost profile plays out, especially with copper demand staying strong due to electrification trends.
