On August 13, Pan American Silver fell 5.19% overnight, trading at $49.66/share, with turnover of $88,500. The decline was triggered by the company's Q2 earnings release, which missed analyst expectations on both top and bottom lines.
The company reported Q2 adjusted earnings of $0.73 per share, significantly below the consensus estimate of $0.88-$1.04, representing a miss of approximately 30%. Revenue came in at $1.12 billion versus an expected $1.15 billion. While both figures showed strong year-over-year growth — EPS up 70% and revenue up 38% — they fell well short of elevated market expectations. Notably, last quarter the company posted EPS of $1.09, dramatically beating estimates and setting a high bar for this period.
The company raised its quarterly dividend modestly to $0.184 per share from $0.18. However, multiple investment banks recently lowered price targets — Jefferies to $49, Bank of America to $69, and RBC to $65 — reflecting increasingly cautious institutional sentiment and adding to selling pressure.
