▲2▼2

Silver crash hits revenue, but record returns and BofA pick support PAAS

  • Silver price crash below $60 Silver fell below $60 an ounce, down over 50% from its January peak, driven by a stronger dollar and rising Treasury yields. This directly cuts Pan American's revenue because it sells silver at lower prices, pressuring the stock.

    The silver price is the biggest driver of PAAS revenue and explains the stock's weakness.

  • BofA names PAAS a top pick Bank of America added Pan American Silver as a new top pick with 56% potential upside, even as it cut commodity forecasts broadly. This boosts investor confidence and can attract buyers, pushing the stock up.

    A major analyst endorsement can shift sentiment and drive demand for the shares.

  • Record $300M shareholder returns and doubled credit line Pan American reported record quarterly shareholder returns of $300 million, $344 million in free cash flow, and doubled its credit facility to $1.5 billion. This shows financial strength and rewards shareholders, supporting the stock price.

    Strong cash flow and returns signal financial health, which can lift the stock.

  • 2026 silver cost guidance rises 22% Pan American guided 2026 silver all-in sustaining costs to $15.75-$18.25 per ounce, a 22% increase from 2025, due to higher costs at La Colorada and Huaron. Higher costs squeeze profit margins, which can weigh on the stock.

    Rising costs directly reduce profitability and are a key factor for future earnings.

US Dollar/Brazilian Real FX Spot Rate (USDBRL.FOREX)

Q3 2026

Brazil Inflation Cools, Rate Cuts Weigh on Real

  • Brazilian inflation slows, supporting more rate cuts Brazil's June CPI rose 4.64% year-on-year, below forecasts, and the central bank had already cut rates to 14.25%. Slower inflation means more rate cuts likely, which lowers the real's appeal and pushes USDBRL higher.

    This is the first in a series of inflation reports that set up expectations for rate cuts, directly weakening the BRL.

  • Brazil central bank cuts rate to 14%, signals more Brazil's central bank cut its key rate by 0.25% to 14.00%, the fourth straight cut, and hinted at further reductions. Lower interest rates make the real less attractive to yield-seeking investors, pushing USDBRL up.

    This is the actual rate cut that confirms the monetary easing trend, a key driver of BRL weakness.

  • August inflation slows further, boosting rate-cut bets Brazil's August CPI rose 4.22% year-on-year, below expectations, with prices falling 0.32% month-on-month. This strengthens expectations of another rate cut, which would further weaken the real and lift USDBRL.

    This is the latest inflation data that reinforces the rate-cut narrative, directly affecting the real's outlook.

  • Real strength on coffee export dynamics The Brazilian real hit a 3.5-week high against the dollar, discouraging coffee exports and raising coffee prices. A stronger real means USDBRL falls, but this move was short-lived and reversed later in July.

    This shows a counterweight: temporary real strength from commodity flows, though it was not sustained.
