Un&#39;azione mineraria brilla sul mercato, ma il noto analista frena gli entusiasmi. Non sempre un rialzo è un buon segnale d&#39;acquisto.

Questo titolo sale del 5%, ma per Jim Cramer non è quello giusto

Pan American Silver Corp

In a market increasingly defined by volatility and uncertainty, investors are grappling with a mix of opportunities and risks. The recent turmoil in the tech sector, particularly among companies heavily reliant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">on artificial intelligence</a>, has raised questions about sustainability and profitability.
On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer said Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>) is another company that's just losing money &#8220;hand over fist,&#8221; so he recommended not <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/07/46331040/personalis-and-tempus-extend-partnership-through-2029-add-colorectal-cancer-to-mrd-test-deal-cove">going there</a>.
According to recent news, Personalis, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSNL#NASDAQ">PSNL</a>) announced on Wednesday an expansion and extension of its strategic collaboration with Tempus AI, adding a new indication, colorectal cancer, to the existing, exclusive commercialization agreement.
When asked about First Majestic Silver Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AG#NYSE">AG</a>), he said, &#8220;I like silver. First Majestic, not familiar with. The one that I've always recommended is Pan American (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAAS#NASDAQ">PAAS</a>) because it's been profitable for a very long time.&#8221;
First Majestic Silver, on Wednesday, issued second-quarter production numbers and raised its FY25 silver and gold outlook.
Insmed Incorporated (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INSM#NASDAQ">INSM</a>) is &#8220;very speculative,&#8221; Cramer said. &#8220;It has lost a huge amount of money, so it's very hard for me to get a handle on it.&#8221;
According to recent news, Insmed announced topline results from its randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2b study evaluating the efficacy and safety of treprostinil palmitate inhalation powder on Thursday. The study met its primary endpoint and all secondary efficacy endpoints.
&#8220;I don't think that there's anything investible in, honestly, in autonomous, other than Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>),&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Ouster, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OUST#NASDAQ">OUST</a>). &#8220;I'm going to say no, too speculative.&#8221;
Supporting his view, WestPark Capital analyst Casey Ryan, on June 12, downgraded Ouster from Buy to Hold.
Price Action:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Tempus AI shares fell 0.2% to settle at $58.41 on Wednesday.</li>

Cramer Says Tesla Dominates While Ouster Is 'Too Speculative'

While the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46067020/trump-declares-israel-iran-ceasefire-now-in-effect-as-china-warns-of-spiraling-escalation-at-un">ceasefire between Israel and Iran</a> represented a positive development following a tense geopolitical flashpoint, it wasn't without consequence. The agreement between the two warring nations to halt hostilities led to a conspicuous decline in gold, which took down other precious metals, including silver. Subsequently, the miner sector also incurred a correction, with Pan American Silver Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAAS#NYSE">PAAS</a>) losing about 5% on Friday. Still, silver's core demand profile could make PAAS stock intriguing.
From a monetary perspective, several experts have pointed to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45585695/the-golden-ratios-silver-surprise-this-metals-price-could-double">gold-silver ratio</a>, which is a historical measure of how many ounces of silver one ounce of gold can buy. As the theory goes, if the ratio reverts to its long-term average, the silver market could soar. According to Incrementum AG fund manager Ronald-Peter Stöferle, gold at $3,000 would imply a silver price that could reach between $55 and $63 per ounce.
An even more important argument centers on the fundamentals. Silver represents a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/04/44772281/whats-next-for-silver-after-a-sharp-climb-in-q1-25">key commodity for several emerging industries</a>, including solar panels and electric vehicles. Notably, despite the ongoing economic challenges of the post-pandemic era, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44755934/us-q1-ev-sales-data-shows-106-yoy-growth-tesla-experiences-decline-but-still-dominates-domestic-ev-sales">EV sales continue to rise</a>, potentially boding well for PAAS stock and the underlying silver industry.
To drive home the case for the precious metal, 2025 will mark the fifth consecutive year of silver supply deficits. Since 2021, silver's cumulative shortfall stands at nearly 800 million ounces — about the size of an entire year's mining production. Further, advanced battery technologies could require greater silver consumption, exacerbating the supply crunch.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Statistical Case Shines A Bright Light On PAAS Stock</h2>
Although the narrative for PAAS stock is arguably compelling, storylines don't provide much specificity. For those operating within a short-term window (particularly options traders), a thesis regarding the magnitude (y-axis) of an asset isn't enough; the forecast must also include consideration of the time element (x-axis) because options eventually expire.
It's no surprise, then, that options traders live in a world of probabilities. However, the use of statistics in the financial realm is a tricky matter. It's not as straightforward as taking the frequency of the desired outcome and dividing it by the total number of events in the dataset. Such an approach calculates the derivative probability, which is the outcome odds across the dataset's entire distribution.
What options traders are looking for? That would be the conditional probability or the outcome odds across a specific subset of the data. This is the key difference between quantitative analysis and quantified analysis.
For example, a backtest of MACD crossovers may reveal a 60% success rate. However, this ratio is a derivative probability because it covers all instances of the MACD crossover across the length of the dataset. Unfortunately, this ratio doesn't reveal the odds of success when the crossover flashes at the moment of the transaction.
To apply conditional probabilities requires that the dataset speak a unified language, which is where market breadth comes into play. By converting the continuous signal of share prices into a binary code of accumulative and distributive sessions, demand profiles can be segregated into distinct, discrete behavioral states. With this framework, it's easier to extract probabilistic forecasts based on the study of past analogs.
In the past two months, the price action of PAAS stock can be converted as a "4-6-D" sequence: four up weeks, six down weeks, with a negative trajectory across the 10-week period. While this process compresses PAAS' magnitude dynamism, it categorizes the stock's demand profile as distinct behavioral states across 10-week intervals. This way, it's easier to determine forward transitions.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/30122850/PAAS-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-967268" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/30122850/PAAS-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/30122850/PAAS-stock-10wk-forecast-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/30122850/PAAS-stock-10wk-forecast-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/30122850/PAAS-stock-10wk-forecast.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure>
Using this framework, a trader can objectively determine that since January 2019, the 4-6-D sequence flashed 56 times. Notably, in 64.29% of cases, the following week's price action results in upside, with a median return of 4.62%. Should the bulls maintain control of the market for a second week, speculators may expect an additional 1.48% of performance to be tacked on.
On Friday, PAAS stock closed at $27.72. If the implications of the 4-6-D pan out, the security could reach $29.43 over the next two to three weeks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Tempting Offer On The Table</h2>
With the above market intelligence, aggressive speculators may consider the 28/29 bull call spread expiring July 18. This transaction involves buying the $28 call and simultaneously selling the $29 call, for a net debit paid of $50 (the most that can be lost in the trade). Should PAAS stock rise through the short strike price ($29) at expiration, the maximum reward is also $50, a payout of 100%.
Primarily, this trade is enticing because of the implied shift in sentiment regime of the 4-6-D sequence. As a baseline (from the same January 2019 starting point), the chance that a long position in PAAS stock will be profitable on any given week is only 52.8%. Thus, the aforementioned sequence adds 11.49 percentage points of favorable odds to the bullish speculator.
To be clear, this is an exercise in probabilities, not certainties. Further, the stock market is an open system, which means that borrowing concepts from models covering closed-system behaviors will inherently carry some statistical vulnerabilities. Still, discretizing continuous signals to extract conditional probabilities yields tangible guideposts to help navigate prospective options-based opportunities.

Silver is finally out of gold's shadow and investors should be paying attention. While gold prices hover near record highs, silver is quietly stealing the spotlight. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/peter-schiff">Peter Schiff</a> says the &#8220;gold rally has a silver lining.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Silver Outpaces Gold, Ratio Signals More Upside</h2>
On Tuesday, silver surged over 70 cents intraday to trade above $37, marking its highest level since 2012. That's a 2% daily gain, outshining gold's more modest 0.8% move. The silver-tracking iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>) is up over 25%, while SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) has climbed around 14%, giving silver a 2-to-1 edge.
The gold-to-silver ratio has dropped sharply from over 90 in March to below 76 &#8211; historically a bullish setup for silver. In past cycles, a falling ratio has preceded major runs in silver miners.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Breakout Level Breached, Miners Ride The Wave</h2>
Silver also broke above key resistance at $35, a level it couldn't hold in 2020 or 2021. With that technical ceiling cleared, analysts are eyeing $40+ as the next stop.
Schiff called the move "a precious metals rally," and he's not alone. Stocks like First Majestic Silver Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AG#NYSE">AG</a>) and Pan American Silver Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAAS#NYSE">PAAS</a>) are already rallying in tandem, buoyed by rising spot prices as momentum flows into silver.
While gold remains the classic hedge, silver offers both monetary and industrial upside. With AI, solar, and EV demand growing—and macro jitters rising—silver might be the surprise winner of 2025's commodity trade.

"This train has left the station and there's no stopping it," Schiff posted on X, noting silver's push to $36 and a 4% jump in early action.
While gold flirted with $3,400, it was silver that stole the spotlight, driven by a perfect storm of weak U.S. economic data, rising geopolitical tensions, and intensifying expectations of a Fed rate cut in September. The latest ADP report showed the weakest job growth since March 2023, and the ISM Services PMI fell into contraction territory <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/06/45788298/asia-markets-mixed-europe-gains-gold-inches-toward-all-time-high-global-markets-today-while-us-slept">for the first time</a> in nearly a year &#8211; fueling bets that the Fed will have little choice but to ease.

Supporting his view, Lucid, on May 6, reported first-quarter revenue of $235.05 million, missing analyst estimates of $250 million, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LCID/earnings">according to Benzinga Pro</a>.
Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) is &#8220;right to be bought here,&#8221; Cramer said.
As per the recent news, Marvell announced on Monday that it would collaborate with Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) to offer Nvidia NVLink Fusion technology to customers employing Marvell's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45498551/marvell-teams-up-with-nvidia-to-help-hyperscalers-scale-ai-infrastructure">custom cloud platform silicon</a>.
&#8220;You can ride it,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Pony AI Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PONY#NASDAQ">PONY</a>). &#8220;This is a young person stock.&#8221;
On the earnings front, China-based Pony AI, on Tuesday, reported that first-quarter sales grew 11.6% year-over-year to $13.98 million (101.6 million Chinese yuan), mainly driven by rapid growth in Robotaxi services revenues. The analyst consensus estimate for sales was 90.11 million Chinese yuan.
Cramer said Pan American Silver Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAAS#NYSE">PAAS</a>) is the &#8220;best silver mine, so I think you've got something going there.&#8221;
As per the recent news, Pan American Silver and MAG Silver Corp. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAG#AMEX">MAG</a>), on May 11, disclosed a definitive deal for Pan American to acquire MAG Silver's shares through a plan of arrangement.
The Mad Money host said he can't recommend Doximity, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOCS#NYSE">DOCS</a>) because that was an &#8220;unfathomable miss.&#8221;
Doximity, on May 15, guided for fiscal first-quarter revenue of $139 million to $140 million versus estimates of $143.34 million, according to Benzinga Pro. The company also forecasted full-year 2026 revenue of $619 million to $631 million versus estimates of $634.6 million.
&#8220;I think it is getting a little toppy,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>). &#8220;I sense that there is a trade here, not an investment, for the moment.&#8221;
Micron will hold its fiscal third quarter earnings conference call on Wednesday, June 25. Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings at $1.59 per share on revenue of $8.83 billion.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">New On The Block</h1>
Starbucks (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) is brewing up some big decisions for its China business, including a potential stake deal that could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45428678/starbucks-explores-stake-sale-in-china-business-valued-at-billions-amid-sluggish-growth-intense-competition-from-likes-of-luckin-coffee-report">fetch several billion dollars</a>. 
The coffee giant has been quietly chatting with tech firms and private equity players, hoping someone might want a sip of its 7,750-store China portfolio. 
But with local rival Luckin Coffee chugging ahead — pulling in $1.2 billion last quarter versus Starbucks' $740 million — the cold truth is the Seattle-based company is having trouble navigating the market.
And it&#8217;s not alone. McDonald's and Yum! Brands both sold <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/25/05/45360322/restaurant-stocks-rebound-as-us-china-tariff-truce-offers-sector-relief-whats-going-on" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stakes in their China operations</a>.
As for Starbucks, the franchise&#8217;s stock price has cooled faster than an unattended latte. It&#8217;s down 25% since February. Meanwhile, Wall Street is not impressed, as Starbucks missed earnings estimates and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45104438/starbucks-stock-tumbles-on-q2-earnings-ceo-says-progress-is-happening-below-the-surface">reported a global sales dip</a>.

Pan American Silver Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAAS#NYSE">PAAS</a>) and MAG Silver Corp. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAG#AMEX">MAG</a>) disclosed a definitive deal for Pan American to acquire MAG Silver&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45339398/pan-american-silver-announces-agreement-to-acquire-mag-silver-corp" rel="noreferrer noopener">shares through a plan of arrangement</a>.
As per the deal, MAG shareholders will receive approximately $2.1 billion ($20.54 per MAG share based on PAAS&#8217;s May 9, 2025 NYSE closing price) in a mix of $500 million cash and 0.755 PAAS shares per MAG share (subject to proration).
This represents ~21% and ~27% premiums to MAG&#8217;s May 9, 2025 NYSEAM closing price and 20-day VWAP, respectively.

Post-transaction, MAG shareholders will own ~14% of the enlarged, diversified Pan American, gaining exposure to a larger silver and gold producer.
The acquisition significantly enhances Pan American&#8217;s value by adding a 44% stake in Juanicipio, a premier, low-cost, high-grade silver mine in Mexico with substantial exploration potential, operated by Fresnillo.
This is expected to add forecasted production of 6.5-7.3 Moz of silver to Pan American Silver in 2025 and 58 Moz proven and probable reserves, 19 Moz measured and indicated resources, and 35 Moz inferred resources.
Notably, Juanicipio&#8217;s high-margin ounces, with projected 2025 cash costs of ($1.00)-$1.00/oz and all-in sustaining costs of $6.00-$8.00/oz, are a logical fit within Pan American&#8217;s Americas-focused silver portfolio.
The MAG acquisition should significantly boost Pan American&#8217;s 2025 free cash flow (+$98 million pro forma) and offer significant exploration upside (Juanicipio, Deer Trail, Larder), strategically deploying $500 million of PAAS&#8217;s cash for increased silver exposure and growth.
Michael Steinmann, President and CEO of Pan American, said, &#8220;Juanicipio is a large-scale, high-grade, low-cost silver mine that will meaningfully increase Pan American&#8217;s exposure to high-margin silver ounces. Furthermore, we see future growth opportunities through the significant exploration potential at Juanicipio as well as MAG&#8217;s Deer Trail and Larder properties. This strategic acquisition further solidifies Pan American as a leading Americas-focused silver producer.&#8221;
As of March 31, PAAS&#8217; cash and short-term <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45270191/pan-american-silver-reports-unaudited-first-quarter-2025-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">investments stood at $923.0 million</a>.
Price Action: PAAS shares are down 7.24% to $25.24, while MAG shares are up 13% to $19.12 premarket at the last check on Monday.

Pan American Acquires MAG For $2.1 Billion

Pan American Silver shares are trading lower after the company announced it entered into an agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of MAG Silver.

U.S. stock futures jumped on Monday after a muted day of trade on Friday. Futures of major benchmark indices were trading over 2% in premarket.
U.S. and China announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45341884/apple-amazon-nvidia-rise-in-monday-premarket-as-us-china-agree-to-90-day-tariff-truce-neither-side-wants-a-decoupling">90-day truce</a> to pause the reciprocal tariffs on Monday and revised it from 125% to 10%.&nbsp;This comes after the White House and Chinese officials signaled significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45337811/trump-announces-total-reset-as-us-china-trade-talks-aim-to-end-tariff-war">headway in trade negotiations</a> held in Geneva over the weekend.
The U.S. will maintain its 20% tariffs on Chinese imports linked to fentanyl, keeping the overall tariff level on China at 30%. "We had very productive talks and I believe that the venue, here in Lake Geneva, added great equanimity to what was a very positive process,&#8221; said the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent after the talks.
The U.S.-China joint statement also indicated Beijing&#8217;s agreement to suspend or remove all non-tariff countermeasures implemented since April 2, including sanctions on specific U.S. firms and export limits on crucial minerals, according <a href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/global-economy/article/3309975/china-us-reduce-majority-tariffs-after-first-round-trade-talks?module=top_story&amp;pgtype=homepage">to</a> the South China Morning Post.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.44% and the two-year bond was at 3.98%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 92.1% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
After last week, 90% of the S&amp;P 500 companies have reported quarterly results, and the performance has been strong relative to expectations, said Brian Therien, the investment strategist at Edward Jones.
Seventy-eight percent have beaten analyst estimates, with an average upside surprise of 8.6%, he highlighted. Forecasts for first-quarter earnings growth of S&amp;P 500 companies have been revised higher to 13.2%, from 6.7% at the end of the quarter.
Performance has been broad, with eight of the 11 sectors forecast to report higher earnings year-over-year.
&#8220;Wider earnings growth should drive more balanced market performance across sectors, strengthening the case for portfolio diversification, in our view,&#8221; Therien added.
Charles Schwab said in a note that they are maintaining a neutral &#8220;marketperform&#8221; rating on all sectors, a shift it made in April after the White House announced broad-reaching tariffs on imports.
&#8220;Uncertainty about the ultimate level and timing of the tariffs has made it difficult to assert a view on which sectors might outperform or underperform the S&amp;P 500 index, so we are holding all sector ratings at Marketperform until we have more clarity on trade policy,&#8221; the note stated.
