Silvercorp Metals Rides Silver Price Wave to Record Revenues

Silvercorp Metals reported strong earnings for Q1 fiscal 2027, driven by higher silver prices and robust cash generation.

Net income came in at $59.4 million, or $0.27 per share, with adjusted net income more than doubling to $53.9 million or $0.24 per share.

Silvercorp's balance sheet remains robust, with $387 million in cash and stakes in associates and other companies valued at $304 million as of June 30. The company also has access to approximately $220 million in undrawn RMB term loan facilities, providing substantial financial flexibility for ongoing and future growth projects.
