On January 23, 2026, H.C. Wainwright raised its rating on Avino Silver & Gold Mines to Buy and increased its price target from 7.40 to 12.50. The upgrade follows a comprehensive review of ASM’s asset base in Mexico, including the Avino Mine and La Preciosa project, and reflects the firm’s expectation that ongoing operational improvements and reserve expansion will drive sustainable cash flow growth over the next 12–18 months.

ASM reported a 22% year-over-year increase in silver output for the fourth quarter of 2025, producing 345,298 ounces across its two primary operations. For the full year, silver production climbed 4% to 1.16 million ounces, supported by higher ore grades at La Preciosa and optimized processing throughput at the Avino Mine. Management has targeted further throughput enhancements in 2026 through mill upgrades and expanded underground development.

Global silver prices have surged 223.6% year over year, driven by elevated safe-haven demand and robust industrial consumption in solar energy and electronics. Geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainties have reinforced precious metals’ appeal, with ASM’s market capitalization standing at approximately 1.45 billion and daily trading volumes exceeding seven million shares. These factors underpin the recent upgrade and bolster the company’s medium-term valuation outlook.
