How the PE model works · Recalculate in PE mode · AG intrinsic value (DCF view)

COMPETITIVE MOAT
↑High-Grade Ore Bodies
First Majestic operates mines with exceptionally high-grade silver and gold deposits. This inherent quality of their resources provides a significant cost advantage over competitors with lower-grade ores.
↑Established Infrastructure & Expertise
Decades of operational experience and existing infrastructure at key properties like San Dimas reduce the capital and time required for new exploration and production. This deep operational knowledge is hard to replicate.
↑Cost Leadership Potential
The combination of high-grade ore and efficient operations allows First Majestic to achieve lower production costs. This cost advantage provides pricing flexibility and resilience during market downturns.
INVESTMENT RISKS
↓Geopolitical & Country Risk
First Majestic's operations are concentrated in Mexico, exposing them to political instability, changes in mining laws, and potential social unrest. These factors can disrupt operations and impact profitability.
↓Operational & Exploration Risks
Mining is inherently risky, with potential for unexpected geological challenges, equipment failures, and exploration programs not yielding expected results. These can lead to increased costs and reduced output.
↓Labor Relations & Strikes
Maintaining positive labor relations is crucial. Strikes or labor disputes can halt production, leading to significant financial losses and reputational damage.

The trailing twelve-month PE ratio of AG reflects how much investors pay per dollar of First Majestic Silver Corp.'s earnings. This metric is most useful when compared to Silver peers and the company's own historical range.
AG's PE of 24.0x combined with a PEG ratio of 0.01 provides a growth-adjusted perspective. A PEG below 1.0 means the P/E is low relative to the earnings growth rate. Keep in mind that PE-based valuation works best for profitable, mature companies — for high-growth or cyclical Silver, a DCF analysis may be more appropriate.
To value First Majestic Silver Corp. using PE: (1) Compare the current PE (24.0x) against the Silver median to assess relative pricing, (2) check the PEG ratio (0.01) to adjust for growth expectations, (3) review the 5-year PE range to identify where the stock sits historically, and (4) estimate fair value by multiplying a target PE by forward EPS estimates. This relative approach complements DCF's absolute valuation.
AG's PEG ratio is 0.01, calculated by dividing the PE ratio (24.0x) by the expected earnings growth rate. A PEG below 1.0 means the P/E is low relative to the expected earnings growth rate. Note that PEG accuracy depends on the reliability of growth estimates.
PE ratio gives a quick relative read — how AG is priced versus Silver peers. DCF provides an absolute value based on projected free cash flows. For the most reliable valuation, use PE as a quick comparability screen and DCF for a deeper fundamental analysis. Each method has blind spots: PE ignores capital structure and cash flow quality, while DCF is sensitive to growth and discount rate assumptions.
P/E and DCF value AG with different methods and assumptions, so the two conclusions can differ. Compare the DCF intrinsic value.
