Fresnillo PLC (LSE:FRES) kicked off 2025 with a stable performance, reporting a year-over-year increase in gold output, even as silver production saw a dip due to the wind-down of operations at San Julián DOB. The company anticipates stronger results in the second half of the year, supported by ongoing operational momentum and favorable market dynamics.

The boost in gold production was largely attributed to strong performance at the Herradura mine, as well as the processing of stockpiled materials. While lead and zinc volumes declined during the quarter, Fresnillo has reaffirmed its full-year production guidance and remains focused on delivering cost-efficient growth.

Fresnillo continues to emphasize financial discipline, prioritizing cost control and capital efficiency in a climate of rising precious metals prices. The company is also committed to maintaining a high standard of safety and supporting the well-being of the communities in which it operates.

Financially, Fresnillo maintains a strong position, backed by solid revenue growth and improved cash flow. However, its valuation appears elevated, and certain operational hurdles at individual sites may pose risks. Technical signals currently suggest neutral momentum, reflecting a balanced short-term outlook for the stock.
