TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly PAAS is the world's largest silver producer and is a producer of other base and precious metals. It operates facilities in Canada, central and south America. Aside from silver's many industrial uses, it also acts as an inflation hedge. Overall, a good holding for an economy staging a comeback. EPS fell short of analyst expectations as the pandemic impacted its work force in South America, but that is expected to turn going forward. It pays a reasonable dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 20% of cashflow. We would buy this with a stop loss at $27.50, looking to achieve $52 -- upside potential over 27%. Yield 0.78% (Analysts’ price target is $51.74)

New entrance in the trending stocks. Operates silver mines across the Americas. World's largest silver producer and holds largest silver reserves globally. Missed their estimated earnings by 50%. Lots of social media mentions due to the earnings report as well as investors wanting to get more exposure to commodities during the current geopolitical tensions.

They had operational problems in Mexico, but they remain a major silver and gold producer. They just took over the Latin American operations of Yamana in tandem with Agnico; this will double their gold production. They have a warrant to reopen a mine in Guatemala, and might reopen. Gold and silver is the place to be.

Sold off aggressively after acquisition. Reasonably good job paying down debt. Guatemalan assets will probably restart in 2024. He notes that he's a close personal friend of the CEO.
