DD on $CDE silver/gold miner

Here is DD on an undervalued silver and gold mining stock, CDE: Couer Mining (CDE) is currently trading at 22.6, and is valued at 32.2. I have shares at 18.5 and have been playing calls. I am expecting a BIG gap up on Tuesday so hopefully you guys bought in last week, but it may not be too late!

Here is why I like CDE:

They have an upcoming potential merger with NGD, a Canadian mining company. Once this merger goes through, they will have 7 operations across North America. They will have the production capability of 900,000oz of gold and 20,000,000oz of silver.

They have had substantial revenue growth over the past year and have posted 6 straight quarters of profit.

They have had production expansion, like the Rochester expansion and the integration of Las Chispas. Therefore, they are still growing.

They have a very strong balance sheet and are expected to generate hundreds of millions in cash next year.

I think this is one of the few mining companies that have lots of room to grow going into Q1 and Q2 2026.

Their debt is mostly long-term, and their cash on hand vs total debt is 266m cash vs 363.5m debt.

The coupon is fixed.

I could not find the all-in sustaining cost, but it cost them $248m to sell $554.6m worth of gold and silver. All their mines are considered to be in safe areas; they have 3 in the US, 2 in Mexico, and 1 explorational site in BC. After the merger, they will acquire more sites in Canada. So none of the mines will be politically impacted.

They have no active offering; as a matter of fact, they have a $75 million share buyback program valid through May 31, 2026.

Their free cash flow is positive, at $188M.

One thing to note is that CDE tends to follow the same direction as silver does so only buy CDE if you are bullish on silver!
