6. Coeur Mining, Inc. (NYSE:CDE)

Coeur Mining, Inc. (NYSE:CDE) is one of the best silver stocks to watch for in 2026, with more than 20% upside potential. On February 24 at the 35th BMO Global Metals, Mining & Critical Minerals Conference, CEO Mitchell Krebs reiterated that the company’s focus is on enhancing cash flow and operational efficiency. The sentiments follow record fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 financial results, characterized by a tenfold increase in full-year GAAP net income to $586 million.

Coeur Mining, Inc. (NYSE:CDE) achieved record revenue of $675 million in the fourth quarter and cash flow from operating activities of $375 million. It also achieved record quarterly EBITDA of $425 million and record net income from continuing operations of $227 million or $0.35 a share.

Full-year revenue totaled $2.1 billion and adjusted net income from continuing operations of $493 million, or $0.80 per share. The better-than-expected results were driven by full-year production of 419,046 ounces of gold and 17.9 million ounces of silver, representing year-over-year increases of 23% and 57%. The company repurchased $2.3 million of shares in Q4 and $9.6 million for the full year.

“Following the expected close of our acquisition of New Gold in the first half of 2026, the addition of the New Afton and Rainy River operations in Canada will further enhance our emergence as a new precious metals mining leader at just the right time. On a combined basis, we expect to generate approximately $3 billion of EBITDA and $2 billion of free cash flow from our seven North American operations while remaining a top five global silver producer,” said Krebs.

Coeur Mining, Inc. (NYSE:CDE) is a Chicago-based, U.S.-focused precious metals producer that explores for, develops, and operates gold and silver mines in North America.
