The mining company reported earnings per share of $0.20 for the quarter, surpassing BMO Capital’s expectation of $0.17 and the consensus estimate of $0.18, driven by gold and silver production that exceeded forecasts.

Coeur Mining’s balance sheet showed significant improvement during the quarter as the company fully repaid its $110 million revolving credit facility and increased its treasury by $34 million to $112 million.

The company also reduced its net leverage ratio quarter-over-quarter from 0.9x to 0.4x and began repurchasing shares, contributing to BMO Capital’s decision to maintain its Outperform rating while raising the price target.

Additionally, Coeur Mining announced the launch of a $75 million share repurchase program, set to remain active until May 31, 2026, reflecting confidence in its financial health. The company also received an upgrade from S&P Global Ratings, moving its issuer credit rating to ’B+’ from ’B-’, due to robust credit metrics and increased gold and silver production. Coeur Mining’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan, extending its term and increasing the number of shares available for issuance.
