Q4 Sales Spike 150% on Record Revenue and Silver Prices
First Majestic Silver (AG) reported that its First Mint division's sales surged nearly 150% in the fourth quarter of 2025. This growth directly reflects a dramatic increase in the value of silver, with spot prices hitting $80.84 per ounce on March 16, 2026—a 139.22% increase from one year prior. The strong bullion demand translated into record quarterly revenue of approximately $464 million for the company, substantially exceeding market expectations.
Strategic Pivot Drives 55% Stock Gain
The strong financial results support First Majestic's strategic shift from pure production volume to higher-margin projects. The company's stock has gained over 55% year-to-date, closing at €21.30 on the last reported Thursday, as investors reward its focus on profitability. This strategy is enabled by a robust balance sheet featuring around $940 million in liquid assets. Recent exploration updates further bolster investor confidence, as a 57-hole drilling program at the Jerritt Canyon Gold Mine in Nevada successfully identified new mineralized zones, signaling potential for significant resource expansion.
Santo Niño Estimate Looms as Next Major Catalyst
Market participants are now focused on the end of March 2026, when First Majestic is scheduled to release its first official resource estimate for the Santo Niño vein. Discovered last year at the Santa Elena operation, metallurgical tests have already confirmed high recovery rates of over 95% for both gold and silver. This announcement is widely viewed as the next significant catalyst that could lead to a fundamental re-rating of the company's reserves and valuation.
