Equity Bottom-Up

Pan American Silver (PAAS) delivered strong quarterly results, with higher commodity prices boosting revenues and lowering costs. Q125 EBITDA was US$330m, just 5% shy of the seasonally strongest Q4 number, as costs were markedly below and production was in line with quarterly guidance for both segments. The company maintained its FY25 operating outlook, which points to seasonally strong quarters ahead. PAAS also announced a proposed acquisition of MAG Silver (MAG), valuing the company at US$2.1bn. MAG owns 44% in a top-tier Juanicipio silver operation in Mexico. In this note, we provide an initial take on the transaction, while keeping our revised estimates and valuation of PAAS on a standalone basis.

Pan American Silver — Finishing the year on a strong note

After a couple of transitional years, Pan American Silver (PAAS) is in a much better position to deliver more consistent operational and cost performance as the Yamana assets are integrated, La Colorada ventilation issues are resolved and the asset portfolio is largely streamlined. We are upgrading our estimates on higher commodity price assumptions and raising our valuation to US$26.0/share. The stock has been derated on improving earnings momentum and is now trading at below average historical multiples. The recent M&A provides additional valuation support.
