On August 13, Pan American Silver fell 5.69% in pre-market trading, trading at $49.08/share, with turnover of $14,000. The decline followed the company's Q2 earnings release after the prior session's close, which missed market expectations on both revenue and profit metrics.
The company reported Q2 adjusted earnings of $0.73 per share, up 69.8% year-over-year from $0.43, but falling significantly short of the analyst consensus estimate of $0.88-$1.04. Revenue rose to $1.12 billion from $812 million a year earlier, also missing the expected $1.15 billion. Notably, last quarter the company delivered EPS of $1.09, well above the $0.86 estimate, making this quarter's shortfall a sharp sequential reversal in earnings momentum.
The company simultaneously announced a modest dividend increase to $0.184 per share from $0.18. However, multiple investment banks recently cut target prices — Jefferies to $49, Bank of America to $69, and RBC to $65 — reflecting increasingly cautious institutional valuations and adding further selling pressure.
