BMO Capital sets $4.50 target for Vizsla Silver, rates Outperform

On Friday, Vizsla Silver Corp. (NYSE:VZLA), a mining company with a market capitalization of $560 million and an "GREAT" financial health rating according to InvestingPro, received an Outperform rating from BMO Capital Markets, accompanied by a price target of $4.50. The research firm began its coverage on the mining company, highlighting the prospects of its Panuco property in Sinaloa, Mexico.

Vizsla Silver is currently focused on developing a high-grade silver-gold mine at the Panuco site. BMO Capital's analysis suggests that Panuco stands out as a top-tier silver development asset due to its anticipated scale of production and cost efficiency. The firm's valuation of Vizsla Silver shares is based on a net asset value (NAV) estimate, which implies that the stock is currently trading at half of this value.

The positive outlook is further bolstered by the potential for a re-rating of the company's stock as Vizsla Silver progresses toward various milestones throughout the year. With a beta of 2.09 indicating higher volatility than the market average, and strong analyst consensus supporting the bullish view, BMO Capital has identified several key developments that could drive this revaluation, including advancements in the mine's development and the approach toward the start of production, which is expected in 2027.
