Here are the key reasons why First Majestic Silver Corp. (ticker: AG) is down about 10% today:
-
Silver prices are falling significantly, which hurts silver-producer stocks strongly because their profitability is very exposed to metal prices. Nasdaq+2Finviz+2
-
The company missed earnings expectations: Although it posted record revenue and production, EPS came in below consensus (~$0.07 vs ~$0.11) and revenue of ~$285.1 m missed ~$311.9 m. Investing.com
-
Analyst sentiment is turning more cautious: there was a downgrade/target reduction from at least one analyst and more scrutiny on outlook given metal price risk. StocksToTrade+1
If you like, I can check for any company-specific event (e.g., operational delay, major contract/issues in Mexico) today that may also be contributing.
