Silver Stocks And Silver ETF: Why The Price Charts Are Worth A Look
silver stocks
As the dollar drops and confidence in the U. S. bond market wanes, market participants are considering alternatives. Gold has been rocketing lately but it's the other precious metal – silver – that's been slowly and steadily rising from late 2022 to the present.
The metal has industrial applications, used in the making of laptops and solar panels, for example – but the main interest is how it's been trading recently better than many other assets.
Investors concerned with inflation are finding it and buying the stocks that mine it.
You can tell by the up trends in price.
Global X Silver Miners ETF:
Global X Silver Miners ETF weekly price chart, 4 15 25.
The fund contains 33 holdings and has net assets of $1.52 billion. The 50-week moving average in late 2024 crossed above the 200-week moving average. This week's high is the highest on the three-plus years chart.
Wheaton Precious Metals:

The gold and silver miner has enough silver production that Global X made the stock its largest holding in the ETF. The stock trades well above both the up trending 50-week and the up trending 200-week moving averages. The relative strength indicator (RSI, below the price chart) is diverging negatively from price now.
Pan American Silver:
Pan American Silver weekly price chart, 4 15 25.
The stock has been moving steadily upward since the February/March 2024 low. The 50-week moving average in early January 2025 crossed above the 200-day moving average, a sign of the new strength. The early 2022 peak of near $28 will be the next major test.
Pan American Silver has a market cap of $9.84 billion. The price-earnings ratio is 88 and the forward p/e is 13.10. The debt-to-equity ratio is .17. This year's earnings are up 82%. Earnings over the past five years are down by 11%. The company offers investors a 1.77% dividend.
Compania de Minas Buenaventura:

After dipping below the 50-week moving average in mid-2024, the stock moved back above it in March 2025. Note that the 200-week moving average has been in an up trend since bottoming in late 2023. The March 2024 peak of near $18.50 may be significant resistance on any further rally.
Compania de Minas Buenaventura has a market cap of $3.75 billion The Peruvian miner trades with a price-earnings ratio of 9.33 at just 1.01 times book value. The debt-to-equity ratio is .18. The company pays a 1.58% dividend. Scotiabank just raised its price target for the stock from $15 to $15.50.
Endeavor Silver:

The main thing on this price chart is how the 50-week moving average in February 2025 crossed above the 200-week moving average and continued higher. From $1.50 in early 2024 to the current $4.07 amounts to a gain of 170% for those who bought shares then and held on.
Endeavour Silver has a market cap of $1.07 billion. The Canadian miner has earnings per share this year up 479% and up over the past five years by 18.21%. The debt-to-equity ratio is .25. Investment firm Raymond James initiated coverage of the stock in March 2025 with an 'outperform' rating.

To The Point: Highlights from the Mackinac Policy Conference
MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. (WOOD) — The annual Detroit Regional Chamber's annual Mackinac Policy Conference drew decision-makers, business leaders and stakeholders to Mackinac Island. This year, there were two major themes. The first was trade and tariffs. Relations with Canada, a key trading partner of the nation and Michigan, have been strained recently. U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra told To The Point he believes that tension will ease. 'The mandate from the president is to deliver more prosperity to the American people. The mandate for Prime Minister (Mark) Carney is to do the same thing — deliver more prosperity to the Canadian people. And as they're both successful, again, imagine what will happen to North America. More prosperity for America. I think what's damaging us right now is the uncertainty. I mean, you got personal relationships across the border,' Hoekstra said. The other topic on everyone's minds at the conference was the federal spending bill dubbed the 'Big Beautiful Bill.' The bill has made it through the U.S. House of Representatives and now goes to the U.S. Senate. Above on this episode of 'To The Point,' see comment on the bill from U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Zeeland, and U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Holly. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Trans Mountain could take on more pipeline projects if private sector can't: CEO
CALGARY - The CEO of Crown-owned pipeline operator Trans Mountain Corp. says it could take on other market-expanding pipeline projects if necessary, but that it would be preferable for the private sector to take the lead. Trade tumult in recent months with the United States — Canada's biggest customer for its crude oil — has intensified calls for Canada to build infrastructure that would allow its resources to flow to other global buyers. When the expanded Trans Mountain pipeline began shipping Alberta crude to the B.C. Lower Mainland just over a year ago, oilsands producers were finally able to meaningfully access lucrative Asian markets. Trans Mountain CEO Mark Maki said in an interview Friday there's an appetite for more pipeline egress to the Pacific coast and elsewhere. 'The U.S. is a great customer. It will always be a great customer, but diversification of markets for the country is important,' he said. He said Trans Mountain's owner — the Government of Canada — would prefer the private sector lead the way. 'If that can't happen, and it's in the national interest, Trans Mountain is here,' Maki said. His remarks came after Trans Mountain reported its operational and financial results for the first three months of 2025. Since oil started flowing through the expansion in May of last year, 266 crude vessels have been loaded, and third-party information suggests the destinations have been split between the U.S. West Coast and Asia. The expanded pipeline shipped an average of about 757,000 barrels per day during the quarter — below its capacity of 890,000 barrels per day. Maki said if the pipeline were running full, western Canadian heavy crude would see a steeper price discount against the easier-to-refine light crude sold on the global market. That would eat into the margins of Alberta producers. 'You really don't want us 100 per cent full … What's important really is to keep a little bit of slack in the system,' he said. As of now, the supply of crude hasn't caught up with takeaway capacity. 'But when that happens, the crude differential blows out. And so having a little bit of wiggle room is important.' Trans Mountain said there are economical ways to boost the pipeline's capacity if needed, such as adding chemical agents to reduce friction, which would enable more crude to flow through the line. Other options could include adding pumping horsepower or pipe segments. Those projects could together add up to 300,000 barrels per day of capacity. Trans Mountain said quarterly net income was $148 million, down from $158 million a year earlier. Its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization — a measure it says reflects the performance of its underlying business — were $568 million, compared to the $36 million it brought in a year earlier, before the pipeline expansion had started up. During the quarter, $311 million was paid to its parent Canada TMP Finance Ltd., which is itself owned by the Canada Development Investment Corp. That consisted of $148 million in interest payments and $163 million in cash dividends. The original Trans Mountain pipeline has been operating since the 1950s. In 2013, U.S. energy company Kinder Morgan filed a proposal to expand it at a cost of $5.4 billion, touching off a contentious regulatory review process marked by protests and legal challenges. Kinder Morgan suspended work in 2018 and shortly thereafter sold the pipeline to the federal government for $4.5 billion. By the time the expansion project was completed, its cost had ballooned to $34 billion. Maki said there's no hurry to bring Trans Mountain back into private hands. He said the expanded pipeline should get a little more operating history under its belt so a potential buyer can ascribe the proper value to it. A dispute over the tolls customers pay to use the line, currently before the Canada Energy Regulator, also needs to be sorted out, he said. There is also interest in potential Indigenous equity ownership in the line — when the time is right. Trans Mountain is in a 'transitional' year where it is starting to pay dividends and is continuing some of the cleanup work from the pipeline construction. Next year will be a 'much more normal' one, Maki said. 'And so really probably at that point and out would make sense to start thinking about that.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 30, 2025.

NTG Clarity Achieves Record Topline Performance in Q1 2025
Raises Full Year Revenue Guidance to Reflect Q1 Performance Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 28, 2025) - NTG Clarity Networks Inc. (TSXV: NCI) (OTC Pink: NYWKF); NTG Clarity ("NTG" or the "Company") today reports its first quarter results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 (all figures in Canadian Dollars). Q1 2025 HighlightsAll comparisons below are to the quarter ended March 31, 2024, unless otherwise noted Revenue grew 68% year-over-year to $19.7 million, driven by strong growth of offshore services, which grew 268% and the accelerating growth of NTGapps, which grew 151%. Gross Profit rose 51% year-over-year to $6.7 million, representing 34% of revenue, compared to $4.5 million and 38% in the prior year. Gross margin saw temporary pressure due to upfront travel and relocation costs associated with new client engagements—costs that are expected to normalize in future periods. Net Income was $2.1 million, or 11% of revenue, compared to $2.4 million or 20% in the prior year. The year-over-year decline reflects proactive investment in long-term growth initiatives, including expansion of our sales and account management teams—as well as the initiation of income tax provisions amounting to $1.2 million for the quarter. Net Income Before Income Taxes grew by 56% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA grew 45% to $2.9 million, or 15% of revenue, compared to $2.0 million or 17% of revenue in the prior year. Operating Cash Flow of $397 thousand. Free Cash Flow used of $17 thousand. "We've started 2025 by continuing our strong growth trajectory, fueled by the increasing demand for our offshore services and the momentum in our higher-margin software business, NTGapps," said Adam Zaghloul, Vice President of Strategy & Planning at NTG Clarity. "We're making strategic investments in sales, marketing, and operations today to support this growth and sustain our track record of top-line performance." "We are executing on our 2025 strategic priorities by leveraging the cost advantages and high-quality offerings of our offshore platform to deepen relationships with customers. At the same time, customer trials of NTGapps are starting to convert into full contracts. We also secured new clients this quarter through our referral network and look forward to demonstrating why NTG should play a larger role in supporting their digital transformation strategies." Financial Outlook for 2025 The strong start to 2025 gives us confidence to increase our full year revenue guidance to $78 million. The performance this quarter is also consistent with our Adjusted EBITDA margin range which provides us greater flexibility in hiring, onboarding, and training the talent needed to meet growing demand as well as expanding our sales team to continue driving outsized growth. While our current Adjusted EBITDA is tracking below the lower end of the target range, we anticipate margin improvement over the course of the year. This will be driven by near-term growth investments beginning to scale more efficiently relative to revenue. Revenue: Expected to be approximately $78 million Adjusted EBITDA Margin: Forecasted in the range of 16% - 20% In 2025 our strategic priorities are: Expand and solidify our position as an integral part of clients' long-term digital strategy, leveraging our superior cost structure, quality offerings, and trusted relationships built over multiple years of service. Win new customers through the expanding network effect of recommendations from current and past clients. Increase adoption and traction of NTGapps, positioning them as essential tools within our clients' digital ecosystems. Conference Call Details On Thursday, May 29, 2025, at 11:00 AM ET, management will host a conference call webcast to discuss the Company's financial and operating results. What: NTG Clarity Q1 2025 Earnings CallWhen: Thursday, May 29, 2025, at 11:00 AM ETWhere: Live webcast can be accessed from the Events page of NTG's website: Management will be hosting a Q&A at the end of the call; however, to streamline the earnings conference call, we ask any questions to be emailed along with the asker's name and company, if applicable, by the end of the day Wednesday, May 28, 2025, to: Adam Zaghloul, Vice President, Strategy & PlanningEmail: adam@ Income Statement Highlights for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 REVENUE $ 19,699,129 $ 11,755,520 COST OF SALES12,966,584 7,302,609 GROSS PROFIT $ 6,732,545 $ 4,452,911 Operating Expenses3,392,598 2,284,411 Other Expenses161,835 136,739 Exchange loss (gain) on translation(88,718 ) (346,105 ) Provision for income taxes1,172,168 0 Comprehensive Income $ 2,094,661 $ 2,377,866 per share (basic) $ 0.05 $ 0.06 per share (fully diluted) $ 0.04 $ 0.06 Balance Sheet Highlights March 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Total Assets $ 30,859,346 $ 28,292,859 Total Liabilities $ 15,981,000 $ 15,691,675 Shareholder's Equity $ 14,878,345 $ 12,601,184 Non-GAAP Financial Measures NTG references Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-IFRS (non-GAAP) measure and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is a non-GAAP ratio. Adjusted EBITDA means adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is equal to net income (loss) before income taxes plus finance costs plus depreciation. Adjusted EBITDA is equal to EBITDA before other discretionary expenses and expenses outside of the control of NTG. In NTG's case these are other income, share-based payments, and expenses related to foreign exchange. Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized measures under IFRS. Management believes that in addition to net income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful supplemental measures as they provide an indication of the results generated by the Company's primary business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed, amortized, or how the results are taxed and consolidated in various jurisdictions and currencies as well as the cash generated by the Company's primary business activities without consideration of the timing of the monetization of non-cash working capital items. NTG also references Free Cash Flow, which is a non-IFRS (non-GAAP) measure. Free Cash Flow means cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. In NTG's case, Free Cash Flow is equal to net cash from operating activities as reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows, reduced by the purchase of property and equipment. Free Cash Flow is not a recognized measure under IFRS. Management believes that in addition to net cash from operating activities, Free Cash Flow is a useful supplemental measure as it provides insight into the cash generated by the Company's primary business activities after funding required capital expenditures, and it reflects the Company's ability to pursue strategic growth, repay debt, or return capital to shareholders. Readers should be cautioned, however, that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company's performance. Neither should Free Cash Flow be construed as an alternative to net cash from operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company's performance. The Company's method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Free Cash Flow may differ from other organizations and, accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to measures used by other organizations. The non-IFRS measures referenced in this release reconcile to the IFRS measures reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements as follows, unless reconciled elsewhere:For the three months ended Adjusted EBITDA March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 Net Income (Margin) $ 2,094,661 $ 2,377,866 (11% ) (20% ) Add back: (Gain) loss on foreign exchange (594,623 ) (312,992 ) Depreciation 182,231 50,659 Amortization $ 132,183 132,183 Interest, net 60,095 74,374 Taxes 1,185,877 55,332 Other income (94,200 ) (66,001 ) Share-based payment 0 22,375 Loss on joint venture 0 0 Loss on disposal of assets 0 0 Exchange gain arising on translation of foreign operations [88,718 ] [346,105 ] Adjusted EBITDA (Margin) $ 2,877,506 $ 1,987,691 (15% ) (17% ) For the three months ended Free Cash Flow March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 TOTAL CASH IN-FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES $ 396,770 $ 798,118 Less: Purchase of property, plant and equipment 414,075 234,741 Free Cash Flow $ (17,305 ) $ 563,377 About NTG Clarity Networks Clarity Networks' vision is to be a global leader in digital transformation solutions.
