Stock Track08-08

SilverCrest Metals Inc (SILV) saw its stock price drop by 5.72% during intraday trading on May 20, 2024, despite reporting strong second-quarter 2024 financial results and raising its full-year guidance.

In its Q2 2024 earnings report, SilverCrest announced record quarterly revenue of $72.7 million, up from $63.6 million in Q1 2024. The company also reported record mine operating earnings of $41.5 million, with a 57% operating margin. Additionally, SilverCrest generated free cash flow of $24.3 million, or $0.16 per share, during the quarter.

Based on the strong performance in the first half of 2024, SilverCrest raised its full-year 2024 sales guidance to 10.0 to 10.3 million silver equivalent ounces, up from the previous range of 9.8 to 10.2 million ounces. The company also lowered its cash cost guidance to $9.25 to $9.75 per ounce and its all-in sustaining cost (AISC) guidance to $14.90 to $15.75 per ounce.

However, despite the positive operational and financial results, SilverCrest's earnings per share (EPS) of $0.04 missed analyst estimates of $0.11 by a significant margin. This earnings miss, coupled with potential concerns over rising costs or other factors, may have contributed to the stock's decline on the day.
