AG Gains From Record Sales at First Mint: Can the Momentum Sustain?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
First Majestic's First Mint sales jumped 149.5% to $22.7M in Q4 2025.
AG sold 325,143 ounces of silver, about 8% of total production.
ISO 9001 certification made First Mint products eligible for IRA accounts.
First Majestic Silver Corp. (AG - Free Report) is witnessing solid momentum in its First Mint LLC business, its wholly owned minting facility. The business achieved record fourth-quarter 2025 results, with revenues increasing 149.5% to $22.7 million.
In the quarter, First Mint experienced a 10% year-over-year increase in sales, which totaled 325,143 ounces of silver. The ounces of silver sold by the business during the quarter accounted for approximately 8% of the company’s total silver production. The strong performance was supported by a higher average realized silver price, which increased 127% year over year to $69.74 per ounce.
It's worth noting that First Mint obtained the ISO 9001 certification in April last year. This has made the business’ silver product sales eligible for Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). Solid momentum in the First Mint unit has been enabling AG to sell a larger share of its total silver production to its bullion customers and shareholders.
Despite the recent decline, silver prices are likely to remain strong, supported by persistent market deficit, high industrial demand in solar and AI sectors and strong safe-haven demand. First Mint is well-positioned for long-term growth with expansionary capabilities that would allow it to cater to the rising demand and support third-party manufacturing.
