Canadian silver producer Silvercorp Metals (WKN A0EAS0 / TSX SVM) obviously believes that its shares are still not fairly valued despite rising more than 92% in 2025. Accordingly, the company recently launched an extensive share buyback program, thereby emphatically underscoring its assessment of the company’s value.
Silvercorp Management Sends a Signal
The measure sends a clear message: from the perspective of the company’s management, the stock is undervalued. The plan is to repurchase up to 8.7 million shares, which corresponds to around 4% of the outstanding share capital. All acquired shares will be retired, increasing the percentage share of the remaining shareholders accordingly.
Buybacks are nothing new for Silvercorp: 300,000 shares have already been acquired at an average price of 4.51 Canadian dollars. The current authorization is valid until September 2026 and allows daily purchases of up to 157,233 shares on the TSX.
Numbers provide tailwind
The company is in a solid financial position, with more cash than liabilities and comfortable liquidity. In the most recent quarter, adjusted earnings were US$21 million and operating cash flow was US$48.3 million. Revenue climbed 13% year-on-year to US$81.3 million. (We reported.)
Positive momentum also came from the project portfolio: a court in Ecuador confirmed the environmental license for the El Domo project, which supports long-term growth prospects.

Outlook
The buyback signals confidence in the current enterprise value and may improve key figures as a lower number of shares increases earnings per share. At the same time, the move shows that management considers the valuation attractive. The combination of financial strength, operational development, and strategic measures such as the buyback makes Silvercorp even more interesting for value-oriented investors in our view.
