Pan American Silver (NYSE: PAAS | PAAS Price Prediction) reports Q4 2025 results tonight after the bell, with the earnings call scheduled for February 19, 2026 at 11:00 AM ET.
Shares have surged 139% over the past year as silver prices broke through $80 per ounce and the metal joined the US Critical Minerals list. As one of the world’s largest primary silver producers, PAAS stands at the center of the precious metals bull market, but tonight’s report will test whether execution matches the rally.
What the Street Expects
Here are the big numbers Wall Street expects (in USD):
- Normalized EPS: $.89
- GAAP EPS: $.91
- Revenue $1.12 billion
The comparable quarter last year saw EPS of $0.35 on revenue of $815 million. Production data already released shows PAAS delivered 7.3 million ounces of silver and 197,800 ounces of gold in Q4, exceeding updated annual guidance. The Juanicipio mine acquisition, closed in September, contributed 2.5 million silver ounces since joining the portfolio. Silver’s price surge should drive revenue higher, but the key question is whether AISC inflation eats into margins or if Juanicipio’s scale delivers the cost leverage management promised.
For 2026, the company guided to 25 to 27 million ounces of silver production and 700,000 to 750,000 ounces of gold, implying roughly 10% to 18% silver growth. CEO Michael Steinmann said “Our 2026 operating outlook and assumptions for 2026 metal prices point to further expansion of operating margins.”
Last Quarter’s Results
Q3 results showed revenue of $854.6 million, slightly topping estimates, though EPS of $0.48 was inline or slightly disappointing. Net income jumped 196% year over year to $168.6 million, and operating cash flow climbed 36% to $308.7 million.
Silver AISC came in at $15.43 per ounce, down from Q2 even with just one month of Juanicipio contribution. The stock rallied 11% in the week following the January production filing, then pulled back as some analysts flagged valuation concerns after the sector’s 300% run.
Tonight’s Key Questions
I’ll be watching three things.
First, AISC trajectory matters more than the revenue print. Juanicipio’s full quarter contribution should push costs lower, and management needs to show margin expansion is real, not just a metal price gift.
Second, 2026 production guidance gets stress tested tonight. The company’s Latin American mines faced technical issues at Cerro Moro, El Peñon, and Timmins in Q3, and Huaron is running lower grades through 2026 as part of a strategic development push. Specifics on whether those headwinds are fading or intensifying will be worth noting on the call.
Third, capital allocation will set the tone for shareholder expectations. PAAS raised its dividend to $0.14 per share last quarter and sits on $1.32 billion in cash. With La Colorada Skarn’s PEA due in Q2 2026 and partnership discussions underway, tonight’s call could clarify whether free cash flow funds buybacks, dividends, or accelerated project development. The 139% rally has reset the bar. Execution has to follow.
