First Majestic Silver Surges in Trading Volume to $230 Million Ranks 441st Amid Record Earnings and Mixed Market Sentiment

On August 14, 2025, First Majestic Silver Corp. (AG) saw a 60.99% surge in trading volume to $0.23 billion, ranking 441st in market activity. The stock closed down 0.89% at $8.85, reflecting mixed investor sentiment ahead of its Q2 earnings release. The company reported record financial results, including a 94% year-over-year revenue increase to $264.2 million, driven by higher silver equivalent production and improved pricing.

The earnings report highlighted a 48% rise in silver equivalent output to 7.9 million ounces and a 3% decline in all-in sustaining costs to $21.02 per ounce. Operational performance was bolstered by the integration of the Los Gatos Silver Mine, which contributed $103.1 million in revenue. Despite these gains, the stock faced downward pressure, possibly due to broader market dynamics or valuation concerns among investors.

Financial metrics underscored resilience, with EBITDA reaching $119.9 million—a 466% increase from Q2 2024—and a record cash balance of $510.1 million. The company also announced a $0.0048 per-share dividend, aligning with its policy of allocating approximately 1% of quarterly net revenues to shareholders. However, non-cash depletion and depreciation expenses offset some profitability, reducing adjusted net earnings to $18.4 million.

The strategy of buying the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day from 2022 to present yielded a total profit of $10,720, according to backtest data. This outcome reflects moderate returns amid fluctuating market conditions over the period.
