First Majestic Silver (AG) shares are under pressure as investors reassess recent optimism around its growth prospects and exposure to volatile silver prices. The stock’s pullback comes after a strong run-up driven by bullish expectations that now appear stretched to some traders.
Previously, the stock had surged on an upgrade from BMO Capital Markets to Outperform, citing the transformative Gatos Silver acquisition and record fourth-quarter free cash flow. H.C. Wainwright also raised its price target after earnings beat forecasts, reinforcing confidence in the company’s production growth story.
These analyst moves signaled stronger long-term potential and highlighted First Majestic’s high operational leverage to silver prices. As the dust settles, the current decline looks more like a reset of elevated expectations than a shift in the underlying fundamentals.
