Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Pan American Silver stock hit a 52-week high on record silver prices and strong Q3 results.
The company posted higher revenues, record cash flow and boosted its dividend following a solid Q3 results.
MAG Silver acquisition added key assets and lifted silver output, prompting a higher 2025 production outlook.
Pan American Silver Corp. (PAAS - Free Report) stock hit a 52-week high of $45.97 on Friday before closing the session a tad lower at $45.67. The upside was fueled by record silver prices and an upbeat third-quarter performance.
Solid Q3 Results: The company reported revenues of $855 million, reflecting 19% year-over-year growth, attributed to higher gold and silver prices. Mine operating earnings surged 78.1% to $313 million. Adjusted earnings per share were 48 cents, marking a 50% jump from the year-ago quarter.
Record Q3 Cash Flow: PAAS reported a second consecutive quarter of record cash flow in the third quarter of 2025, indicating robust operational cash generation and disciplined capital spending.
A free cash flow of $252 million in the third quarter of 2025 pushed Pan American Silver’s cash and short-term investments balance to $910.8 million. This excludes the additional $86 million in cash generated from PAAS's 44% interest at Juanicipio post the MAG Silver acquisition. At the end of the third quarter of 2025, the company had working capital of $1.01 billion and $750 million available under its credit facility.
Backed by a strong cash flow generation, PAAS recently increased its quarterly dividend 17% to 14 cents from the prior payment of 12 cents. This increase takes the company’s annualized dividend to 56 cents from the prior 48 cents.
MAG Silver Buyout: In early September, PAAS completed its previously stated acquisition of MAG Silver Corp. This move boosts Pan American Silver’s position as one of the leading silver producers globally and significantly strengthens the company’s industry-leading silver reserve base.
Pan American Silver gained a 44% stake in the Juanicipio project, which is a large-scale, high-grade silver mine in Zacatecas operated by Fresnillo plc. The Juanicipio mine is expected to produce 14.7-16.7 million ounces of silver in 2025. With just a month of contribution from its stake in the Juanicipio mine, Pan American Silver saw a strong impact on its silver segment performance and cash flow in the third quarter of 2025.
The transaction also adds the full ownership of the Larder exploration project and a full earn-in interest in the Deer Trail exploration project to PAAS’s portfolio. The addition of these assets will contribute significantly to Pan American Silver’s production, reserves and cash flow.
Upbeat Silver Outlook: Considering a month of strong performance from its stake in the Juanicipio mine, Pan American Silver has increased its silver production outlook for 2025 to 22-25 million ounces, up from the prior stated 20-21 million ounces. The company produced 21.1 million ounces of silver in 2024.
Record Silver Prices: Silver prices have surged 88% year over year, supported by strong safe-haven demand, geopolitical tensions and escalating trade conflicts. Silver has benefited from resilient industrial demand and mounting supply deficits. Demand for solar energy, electronics and electrification now accounts for more than half of global silver demand. Currently, silver is trading at a fresh high of above $57, driven by expectations of a rate cut, which bodes well for prices.
