Silver's Surprise Breakout Could Mint the Metal's Biggest Bull Run Since 2011
Issued on behalf of Magma Silver Corp. VANCOUVER, BC, July 18, 2025 /CNW/ -- USA News Group News Commentary – Within the last week, silver crossed the $39 barrier, hitting its highest level since 2011. Now analysts are predicting what could be the summer of silver, for both bullion and mining stocks, as witnessed by recent ETF trends. Despite a more recent pullback, silver's price remains higher than it's been in recent memory, in what some analysts are calling a generational technical breakout. This recent bullish environment is causing the market to start shifting focus to silver miners, including paying closer attention to recent developments from Magma Silver Corp. (TSXV: MGMA) (OTCQB: MAGMF), Fortuna Mining Corp. (NYSE: FSM) (TSX: FVI), Endeavour Silver Corp. (NYSE: EXK) (TSX: EDR), MAG Silver Corp. (NYSE: MAG) (TSX: MAG), and Pan American Silver Corp. (NYSE: PAAS) (TSX: PAAS). The real signal for silver may still be ahead, as long-term demand drivers in industrial and green tech sectors continue to build a case for silver miners. Some analysts now believe silver's rally is just getting started. UBS sees $40 silver on the horizon, while others are coming out with bold targets ranging from US$100 to as high as US$130 per ounce. Magma Silver Corp. (TSXV: MGMA) (OTCQB: MAGMF) has just opened a Lima headquarters and hired a full in‑country team to accelerate its 4,100‑hectare Niñobamba silver‑gold project, a high-potential unmined high‑sulfidation systems. " Magma has established a first-class operating team in Peru," said Stephen Barley, CEO and Chairman of Magma Silver. "We have successfully created the team in record time, thanks to the guidance of Jeffrey Reeder, our Senior Technical Advisor, and his extensive experience in mining operations in Peru, spanning over 30 years. " Veteran geologist and mine builder Carlos Agreda Minaya takes over as General Manager, backed by legal counsel Dentons, environmental specialist Ecosoul, and field expert Edgar Leon Choque, all working toward drill permits for the Jorimina and Randypata zones that could arrive this month. "The establishment of an experienced operations team we can trust will make a significant contribution to our success in Peru," said Stephen Barley, CEO and Chairman of Magma Silver. "Peru is a sophisticated, mining-friendly jurisdiction with detailed regulatory requirements that must be strictly adhered to. The experienced team we are involved with will ensure smooth operations for Magma." Their goal is a Q3 2025 diamond drill program that finally applies modern 3‑D targeting to ground that majors such as Newmont and AngloGold already spent more than US$10 million testing, returning historic highlight hits like 72.3 metres of 1.19 g/t gold and 130 metres of 87 g/t silver. Magma controls three contiguous zones — Niñobamba, Randypata, and Jorimina — believed to form part of a single high-sulfidation system. With all claims in good standing through at least June 2026, Magma has full operational control and is preparing for a diamond drill campaign targeted for Q4 2025. Surface access agreements are already secured for Randypata and Jorimina, and discussions are advancing for Niñobamba. Magma expects to receive drill permits for Jorimina and Randypata as early as this month, while groundwork continues with Alpha IP geophysics, mapping, and sampling across the corridor. With fewer than 34 million shares outstanding and all claims secure through at least June 2026, Magma Silver is moving from paper plans to on‑the‑ground execution, giving new investors a tightly held shot at a proven but under‑explored system. In other industry developments and happenings in the market include: Silver was the standout metal for Fortuna Mining Corp. (NYSE: FSM) (TSX: FVI) in Q2 2025, as its Caylloma Mine delivered 240,621 ounces on grades of 64 g/t and recoveries above 83%. The mine also turned out 12.9 million pounds of zinc and 8.9 million pounds of lead, bolstering cash flow even as management stays laser‑focused on silver. Caylloma's 9,493 gold‑equivalent ounces form the backbone of Fortuna's 71,229‑ounce consolidated total and leave the operation pacing toward the high end of its annual guidance. After shedding non‑core assets, the company can channel more capital into Caylloma's underground expansion and near‑mine exploration aimed at lifting future silver tonnage. Endeavour Silver Corp. (NYSE: EXK) (TSX: EDR) turned out 1,483,736 oz of silver in Q2 2025, a 13% jump year‑over‑year that lifted total output to 2.53 million silver‑equivalent ounces. The gain stems mainly from the newly acquired Kolpa mine, which processed 118,896 t of ore at 111 g/t silver while management fast‑tracks integration work. With Terronera averaging 1,400 t/d late in the quarter, Endeavour has two fresh growth levers to keep silver volumes climbing into 2026. "We delivered strong and consistent production in the second quarter," said Dan Dickson, CEO of Endeavour Silver. "The integration of Kolpa is progressing smoothly, with output already trending above initial expectations. At the same time, Terronera continues to move steadily toward commercial production. This is a pivotal time for Endeavour as we build operational momentum and position the Company for meaningful, long-term growth." MAG Silver Corp. (NYSE: MAG) (TSX: MAG) shareholders have approved, by a 99.52% vote, a plan‑of‑arrangement under which Pan American Silver Corp. (NYSE: PAAS) (TSX: PAAS) will acquire the company for a mix of cash and shares. "This transaction represents a compelling opportunity for our shareholders, providing an immediate premium and meaningful exposure to Pan American's world-class assets and proven growth strategy," said George Paspalas, President and CEO of MAG. "We are proud of what we've accomplished at MAG, particularly our partnership with Fresnillo which has created extraordinary value at the exceptional Juanicipio mine. Through the acquisition of our interest by Pan American - a respected leader in the global precious metals industry - our shareholders will participate in an exciting future defined by operational excellence, substantial exploration potential, and strong financial stewardship with significant portfolio exposure." Each holder may choose $20.54 in cash or 0.755 Pan American Silver shares per MAG Silver share, subject to a $500 million cash cap. With 59.03% of shares represented at the July 10 meeting, closing is targeted for the second half of 2025 following final Mexican competition clearance. "Our acquisition of MAG brings into Pan American's portfolio one of the best silver mines in the world," said Michael Steinmann, President and CEO of Pan American. "This strategic acquisition further solidifies Pan American as a leading Americas-focused silver producer. Together, we bring many decades of operator experience in Mexico and Latin America to the Joint Venture and we are looking forward to a collaborative future and value generation for all shareholders involved." The transaction rolls MAG Silver's 44% stake in the high‑grade Juanicipio mine into Pan American Silver's portfolio, giving retail investors either an immediate payout or ongoing exposure to a larger silver producer.

(Find the latest EPS estimates and surprises on Zacks Earnings Calendar.) Alphabet Inc. Price and EPS Surprise Alphabet Inc. price-eps-surprise | Alphabet Inc. Quote Let's see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement: Growing AI Usage in Search to Aid GOOGL's Q2 Results Alphabet's to-be-reported quarterly results are expected to benefit from solid momentum in Search and Cloud businesses. The integration of Generative AI (Gen AI) technology into the search engine has been benefiting Google Search. AI-powered Circle to Search is now available on more than 300 million Android devices, with people using it to shop, translate text, and learn more about the world around them. Circle to Search is driving additional Search and is gaining popularity among younger users. The addition of AI mode expands AI Overview's advanced reasoning, thinking and multimodal capabilities. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter 2025 Search and other revenues is pegged at $52.36 billion, indicating 8% growth over the figure reported in the year-ago quarter. GOOGL Cloud Gaining Market Share Alphabet has been rapidly growing in the booming cloud computing market. Google Cloud has solidified its position as the third-largest provider in the highly competitive cloud infrastructure market against Amazon 's AMZN cloud arm, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Microsoft' s MSFT Azure. The solid adoption of the Google Cloud Platform and Google Workspace is expected to have driven growth in the Google Cloud segment. According to Synergy Research Group data, Google Cloud, along with Microsoft, is gaining market share, while AWS continues to lead with a 29% market share in the first quarter of 2025. Alphabet and Microsoft had 22% and 12% market share, respectively. The consensus mark for second-quarter 2025 Google Cloud revenues is pegged at $13.04 billion, indicating 26% growth over the figure reported in the year-ago quarter. However, GOOGL is suffering from a lack of capacity, and until new capacity comes online in 2025, cloud revenues are expected to see increased variability. This is expected to have hurt Alphabet's Google Cloud revenues in the to-be-reported quarter. GOOGL Shares Lag Sector, Industry Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Alphabet's shares have declined 3.1% year to date, underperforming the Zacks Internet Services industry and the Zacks Computer & Technology sector. Over the same timeframe, the sector has returned 9.5% while the industry has dropped 0.9%. GOOGL Stock's Performance GOOGL shares are overvalued, as suggested by Value Score C. Currently, GOOGL is trading at a premium, with a forward 12-month Price/Sales of 6.43X compared with the industry's 5.49X. Price/Sales Ratio (F12M) Technically, GOOGL shares are displaying a bullish trend as they trade above the 50-day and 200-day moving averages. GOOGL Trades Above 50-day & 200-day SMAs Cloud Growth to Drive GOOGL Prospects Alphabet is benefiting from an expanding clientele and rich partner base. Google Cloud is benefiting from its partnership with NVIDIA NVDA. Google Cloud was the first cloud provider to offer NVIDIA's B200 and GB200 Blackwell GPUs and will be offering its next-generation Vera Rubin GPUs. Google Cloud is becoming a preferred choice for enterprises planning to deploy AI agents thanks to the Agent Development Kit and a low-code tool offering Agent Designer. The addition of Wiz to Google Cloud will boost competitive prowess against the likes of Amazon and Microsoft in the cloud computing space. Google Cloud's expanding clientele is expected to boost Alphabet's top line. Google Cloud is now expanding its footprint based on the latest deals with Ecobank in Africa and BBVA. BBVA's deal with Google Cloud will enable Alphabet to deploy Google Workspace with Gemini across the global operations of the bank. Meanwhile, the Ecobank collaboration aims at transforming financial services with advanced analytics and AI and driving digital empowerment across Africa. This offers a significant growth opportunity for Google Cloud in one of the most underpenetrated regions of the globe. GOOGL Stock: Buy, Sell or Hold Ahead of Q2? Alphabet's growing Gen AI capabilities present a potential catalyst for future growth. Its dominant position in the Search market is a strong growth driver. However, a stretched valuation, stiff competition in the cloud space and growing regulatory headwinds make GOOGL shares risky for investors ahead of second-quarter 2025 results.
