Coeur Mining, Inc. recorded an increase in gold and silver production during the second quarter of 2025. This rise was predominantly driven by the integration of its newly acquired SILV asset, which marked the addition of a fifth mining operation. However, this expansion also resulted in a substantial 60% dilution of CDE's shares.
While the enhanced production and higher metal prices positively impacted the company's financial performance in Q2 2025, particularly with the full contribution from Las Chispas, Coeur Mining's per-share growth continues to lag behind its industry counterparts. Compounding these concerns, the company had previously divested nearly 100 million shares in 2022 and 2023 at prices below $4 per share. Now, with shares trading in the teens, Coeur Mining is considering a share repurchase program, even as internal stakeholders are selling their holdings.
Considering these factors, CDE shares appear to be fully valued, even at current spot prices, and are highly susceptible to a significant market correction. This current market rally offers a strategic window for investors to reduce their exposure to the stock.
In the dynamic world of investments, prudence and informed decision-making are paramount. Investors should always conduct thorough due diligence and consider market volatility when making financial choices, ensuring their portfolios are managed with careful consideration of risk and reward.
