FRESNILLO ( (GB:FRES) ) has provided an announcement.

Fresnillo reported an exceptional 2025, driven by higher precious metal prices, improved operational efficiency and cost discipline, and a supportive peso devaluation. Silver output met guidance while gold production exceeded expectations, helping push adjusted revenue to US$4.6 billion, up nearly 28%, and gross profit to over US$2.6 billion, more than double the prior year.

The miner rewarded shareholders with a sharply higher total dividend and used its strengthened balance sheet to complete the acquisition of Canada’s Probe Gold, marking a disciplined entry into a Tier 1 jurisdiction and expanding its resource base. Management highlighted a more constructive political climate in Mexico, progress across key development and exploration projects, continued advances in decarbonisation and water stewardship, and a positive long-term outlook for silver and gold demand, even as it acknowledged two fatal incidents and persistent geopolitical risks.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:FRES) stock is a Hold with a £3700.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on FRESNILLO stock, see the GB:FRES Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on FRES Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, FRES is a Outperform.

The score is driven primarily by strong financial performance (sharp 2025 profitability and cash-flow rebound with low leverage) and a generally positive earnings outlook with a credible project pipeline. This is moderated by weaker near-term technical momentum (trading below the 20/50-day averages) and a valuation that is not especially cheap (P/E ~23.4), alongside 2026 transition-year and higher CapEx/tax cash-headwind risks highlighted on the call.
