Silvercorp Metals (TSX:SVM) Reports Q1 Earnings With US$81M Sales and US$18M Net Income
Silvercorp Metals reported robust earnings growth for the quarter ending June 30, 2025, with sales rising to USD 81 million, while recent judicial support for its El Domo project in Ecuador marked significant legal progress. Despite these positive updates, net income and EPS were slightly down, revealing some challenges on the operational front. These elements could have influenced its stock price rise of 23% in the last quarter, alongside broader market gains as the Dow and S&P 500 also saw solid weekly increases. Silver production updates and earnings calls might have driven investor interest in the company amidst market rallies. We've identified 2 weaknesses with Silvercorp Metals (at least 1 which is a bit unpleasant) and understanding the impact should be part of your investment process. Explore 27 top quantum computing companies leading the revolution in next-gen technology and shaping the future with breakthroughs in quantum algorithms, superconducting qubits, and cutting-edge research. The recent robust earnings growth for Silvercorp Metals and judicial backing for their El Domo project are crucial in shaping the company's upward momentum. While the quarter saw a share price surge of 23%, the company's shares have delivered a substantial total return of 99.35% over the last three years, illustrating strong shareholder value creation. This performance outpaces the past year's returns compared to the Canadian Metals and Mining industry, which recorded a 51.2% return. The expansion of the Ying Mine production capacity and a favorable metals price environment could spur future revenue growth. Analysts have forecasted the company's revenues to increase by 17.7% annually, highlighting promising growth potential. With a current share price of CA$6.62 and a consensus price target of CA$8.36, investors may view the stock as trading at a discount of approximately 26% to its estimated fair value.

Gold futures rise after report Trump has placed tariffs on gold bars
US gold futures hit a historic high on Friday after the Financial Times reported that the Trump administration had imposed tariffs on imports of one-kilo gold bars. Futures traded on the Comex, the world's largest gold futures market, were up 0.9% at $3,484.60 an ounce as of around 11am CEST. This came after the futures hit an all-time high of $3,534.10. The FT said it had seen a letter from the US Customs Border Protection agency, dated 31 July, which stated that one-kilo and 100-ounce gold bars should be classified under a customs code subject to levies. Investors had previously expected these types of gold bars to be exempt from Trump's tariffs. In April, Washington had excluded metals like gold, silver, and platinum from broad US import duties, reducing the price of Comex futures as investors ruled out a supply squeeze. Before this, traders had been buying cheaper foreign gold and bringing it into the US, capitalising on the price difference between US futures and other benchmarks. So far this year, gold Comex futures have risen almost 34% as investors adapt to geopolitical uncertainty, viewing gold as a secure place to park their money. In times of instability, gold is considered a safe-haven asset because its value is less volatile than other investments, even when currencies fall. Related Gold's record rally stalls on hopes of easing global trade tensions Gold prices are high - but here's why investors are still flocking to it 'Sustained by factors like its safe haven credentials and a weakening dollar in 2025 – this latest development will have gold bugs eyeing the $4,000 level,' said AJ Bell head of financial analysis Danni Hewson on Friday, referring to the FT report. 'The news is more bad news for Switzerland after being hit by a shock 39% export tariff to the US, given it is one of the biggest precious metal hubs globally,' she added. Gold is one of Switzerland's most significant exports to the US, and the country sent around $61.5bn (€52.8bn) of gold to the US over the 12 months ending in June. The tariff report comes as a fresh blow to Switzerland after the US administration announced a 39% levy on its exports last week. Switzerland's President Karin Keller-Sutter and other top officials travelled to Washington on Tuesday to try to lower the tariff rate, among the highest imposed by the Trump administration. The new rate is over 2.5 times higher than the one on European Union goods exported to the US and nearly four times higher than the one on British exports. It is also steeper than the 31% rate that Trump proposed for Swiss goods when he announced his so-called 'Liberation Day' tariffs in early April. So far, Switzerland's powerful pharmaceutical industry, which has promised major investments in the US in recent months amid the tariff worries, is exempt from the 39% rate.

A Global Market Based on Gold Bars Shudders on Tariff Threat
(Bloomberg) -- The global gold market relies on a network of banks, refineries and couriers that can fly bullion between key trading hubs at a moment's notice in pursuit of the highest prices. On Friday, a shock US ruling suggesting that the metal would be subject to tariffs plunged that system into chaos. New York Warns of $34 Billion Budget Hole, Biggest Since 2009 Crisis All Hail the Humble Speed Hump Three Deaths Reported as NYC Legionnaires' Outbreak Spreads Mayor Asked to Explain $1.4 Billion of Wasted Johannesburg Funds A New Stage for the Theater That Gave America Shakespeare in the Park The apparent decision by the US Customs and Border Protection agency — announced privately in a letter to a Swiss refiner on July 31 and made public Friday — sent gold futures in New York soaring to a record, as insiders warned the tariffs would have dire consequences for the market. Then, just as quickly, prices tumbled after the Trump administration suggested imports of gold bars wouldn't face tariffs after all. It was the latest example of President Donald Trump's trade war triggering wild gyrations in markets, for equities, raw materials and finished products alike. Gold bullion is typically treated more as a financial instrument than a physical product, and slapping tariffs on it would have such profound consequences that many traders argued Friday the ruling had to be a mistake. 'The problem was that the government didn't look outside of the question of the physical format and did not take into consideration that this widget was actually gold,' said Robert Gottlieb, a former precious metals trader and managing director at JPMorgan Chase & Co. A complex and sometimes fragile system for making and moving gold bars underpins the global market for the metal, including the futures exchanges in New York and Shanghai as well as a huge over-the-counter market overseen by London banks. Key consumer hubs in Mumbai, Dubai and Hong Kong rely on it as well. There is more than $1.1 trillion in gold bars stored in vaults to underpin trading in New York and London alone, with much of it stored by major dealers including JPMorgan and HSBC Holdings Plc. Refineries in Switzerland play a crucial role in facilitating the flow of gold between London and New York. A trade group representing them said Friday that the apparent tariffs would render any future US shipments unviable. Asian refineries put a temporary halt on US-bound sales. At the epicenter of the turmoil in New York, observers warned that tariffs would pose a major threat to the gold futures market itself. 'The disbelief isn't just that several billion dollars have been made and lost overnight,' said Ross Norman, a four-decade veteran of the industry who now runs Metals Daily, a pricing and analysis website. 'The problem is we're not in a good position when things become disrupted. When things blow out, you get lots of injuries.' The dysfunction was immediately reflected in the spread between prices on CME Group Inc.'s Comex exchange in New York and the global benchmark price set in London. New York futures hit a new high above $3,530 an ounce on Friday, while the London market was more than $100 lower. That was a record gap, but the 3% spread would be nowhere close to covering the apparent cost of import levies, which would differ from country to country under Trump's reciprocal tariff regime. Typically, if New York prices rise sufficiently, the large-format bars that are traded in London are melted down in Switzerland and recast as smaller, 1-kilogram (2.2 pound) bars that are deliverable on Comex. But with Switzerland facing a 39% reciprocal tariff, Comex prices would have needed to rise to about $4,700 an ounce for the shipments to become feasible. To plug the gap, US buyers might have been able to turn to other key suppliers, including Canada and Mexico. But Trump has threatened stiff tariffs on those countries, too. Unlike gold miners, independent refineries survive on razor-thin margins. The Swiss trade group warned Friday that shutting them out of such a significant market would have adverse consequences for the global gold trade. The hope — similarly held among the investors, traders, banks, and logistics firms blindsided by the US ruling — was that the White House would step back from the brink. It may do just that: The administration intends to post an executive order clarifying what it called misinformation about the gold tariffs, according to an official. 'From day to day, we learn more about new rules that could dramatically change the landscape of each commodity,' said Darwei Kung, head of commodities and portfolio manager at DWS Group. 'Perhaps more change will result from the negotiation in the days to come.' --With assistance from Elise Harris.
