Shares of Silvercorp Metals Inc (NYSE: SVM) tumbled 5.68% in after-hours trading on Thursday following the release of its fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 financial results, which fell short of analyst expectations.
The Canadian mining company reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.07 for the quarter, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $0.08 by 12.5%. Despite the earnings miss, this represents a significant 250% increase from $0.02 per share in the same period last year. Quarterly revenue came in at $75.11 million, slightly below the analyst estimate of $75.84 million, but up 75.99% compared to $42.68 million in the year-ago quarter.
While Silvercorp Metals showed strong year-over-year growth, the market's negative reaction appears to be driven by the company falling short of expectations. The miss on both earnings and revenue, albeit slight, seems to have disappointed investors, leading to the sharp decline in the stock price during after-hours trading. As the company continues to navigate challenges in the mining industry, investors will be closely watching its performance in the coming quarters to assess its ability to meet or exceed market expectations.
