Market cap $11.9B

Coeur Mining and Hecla Mining are capitalizing on strong gold and silver markets by increasing production, advancing expansion projects and improving cash flow in 2026.

The Zacks Style Scores offers investors a way to easily find top-rated stocks based on their investing style. Here's why you should take advantage.

Silver is having a structural moment. The metal pushed to $118.45/oz in January 2026 before settling near the $80 handle that several banks pencilled in as a base case, and Deutsche Bank and other strategists are now modelling a path into the $90 to $100 range as central bank diversification, industrial demand from solar and solid-state batteries, and an ongoing supply-demand deficit collide.

Whether you're a value, growth, or momentum investor, finding strong stocks becomes easier with the Zacks Style Scores, a top feature of the Zacks Premium research service.

Hecla Mining is testing a critical resistance zone as a developing double bottom pattern signals potential for a bullish breakout toward significantly higher price targets.

First Majestic Silver recently surpassed Hecla Mining in quarterly revenue, showing a visibly steeper upward trajectory over the tracked periods. Both companies have demonstrated consistent quarter-over-quarter revenue growth in recent quarters, with sequential increases accelerating noticeably in the most recent periods.

Hecla Mining NYSE: HL said it entered the second quarter of 2026 with no long-term debt, record quarterly cash generation and a portfolio increasingly focused on silver assets in the United States and Canada, following the sale of its Casa Berardi operation at the end of March.

Hecla Mining is executing a focused shift to a pure-play silver strategy, divesting gold assets and capitalizing on silver's industrial demand. HL's clean balance sheet, capital flexibility, exploration focus, and strong Q1 results position it for short-term upside if silver prices remain buoyed above $70 levels. Recent asset sales, notably Casa Berardi, were well-timed, strengthening HL's financials and providing a potential catalyst for ~20% share price recovery.
