Is Centerra Gold (TSX:CG) Expensive Following Its Retail Investor Webinar?
Centerra Gold (TSX:CG) is back on retail investors’ radar after hosting a dedicated Retail Investor Webinar on 8 September 2026, prompting fresh questions about valuation, risks, and long term return potential.

Most Popular Narrative: 4% Overvalued
Centerra Gold last closed at CA$32.24 against a widely followed fair value estimate of about CA$31.03, so the narrative currently frames the stock as slightly expensive while still supported by a detailed cash flow and risk framework built on a 7.86% discount rate.
Centerra Gold’s multi-year organic growth pipeline, including life extension and throughput expansion at Mount Milligan (PFS in Q3 2025), the low-capex Goldfield Project (first production targeted for 2028), and advanced studies at Kemess, positions the company to offset reserve depletion and sustain or grow revenues in an environment of robust gold demand driven by macroeconomic uncertainty and strong central bank buying.
Technical enhancements (e.g., higher recoveries at Goldfield due to crushing optimization, infill drilling at Mount Milligan boosting grade confidence, and potential mill upgrades) are expected to improve gold recoveries and mine productivity, enabling higher output and supporting revenue and unit margin improvement.
See why 17 investors see Centerra Gold as 4% overvalued.
Result: Fair Value of CA$31.03 (OVERVALUED)
Still, the Centerra Gold narrative can be knocked off course if Mount Milligan grade uncertainty persists or Turkish royalty costs at Öksüt continue to pressure profitability.
