On September 23, Hecla Mining fell 5.15% in regular trading, trading at $17.97/share, with turnover of $21.31 million. The stock had surged over 5% earlier in the session before reversing sharply alongside a broad retreat in silver prices.
On the news front, silver spot prices experienced a violent pullback after recent highs, as concentrated profit-taking combined with fluctuating Fed rate cut expectations pressured the entire precious metals complex. The silver sector saw across-the-board declines, with peers Endeavour Silver falling 10.55%, Aya Gold & Silver down 6.52%, Silvercorp Metals declining 6.24%, First Majestic Silver dropping 6.20%, and Vizsla Silver losing 6.16%.
At the company level, Hecla Mining recently disclosed a $500 million revolving credit facility with a $100 million accordion option, bolstering its capital reserves. The company reported Q2 EPS of $0.17, representing a 325% year-over-year increase, though slightly missing consensus estimates. Exploration results at Keno Hill, Midas, and Greens Creek were characterized as positive during Q2.
