Special Report Silver Hits $95—These 3 Miners Could Outrun the MetalAuthor: Chris Markoch. First Published: 1/23/2026. 
What You Need to Know - Silver prices have surged more than 200% year-over-year, driven by supply constraints and rising industrial and investment demand.
- Silver mining stocks offer leveraged exposure, often outperforming the metal itself during strong price rallies.
- Pan American Silver, First Majestic Silver, and Wheaton Precious Metals are well-positioned to benefit from silver trading above $95.
The first month of the new year has put stocks on a roller coaster, reminding investors that volatility isn't going away anytime soon. Meanwhile, gold and silver have largely ignored the noise and continued higher. At the close of markets on Jan. 22, the spot price of silver cracked the $95 mark. That means silver has climbed more than 213% over the past 12 months — a gain that rivals many of the hottest technology stocks. But can the rally continue, and how can investors gain exposure if they don't want to hold physical silver? Can the Rally in Silver Continue? The former CEO of Google calls it the most important thing to happen in 500, maybe 1,000 years of human society. A former U.S. Treasury Secretary says when your great-grandchildren write the history of this period, the political headlines will be the second or third story. The first story is something none of us have seen before. The dot-com collapse, global financial crisis, and COVID-19 pandemic don't compare to what's coming next. We may be entering a period of dramatic, almost unimaginable change. See the full warning and how to prepare now. That may not be the only—or even the first—question. A better starting point is: Why is silver moving to new highs? Many analysts point to supply and demand dynamics. Silver is required for defense and space applications, as well as many of the fastest-growing technology trends like electric vehicles and renewable-energy systems. So can the rally continue? Yes. Silver is a finite resource, difficult to mine, and new production takes time to reach the market. More importantly, like gold, silver is being purchased by central banks and large private-sector investors. These buyers aren't speculating; they are accumulating silver and gold amid concerns about fiscal sustainability, monetary credibility, currency debasement, and geopolitical unrest. Mining Stocks Give You a Leveraged Way to Own Silver For investors who want exposure to silver without the storage and security headaches, mining stocks are an attractive alternative. They also offer leveraged exposure to silver prices. That is, when silver rises 10%, mining stocks often move 15% to 20% or more because higher metal prices flow directly to the bottom line. With that in mind, here are three silver-related stocks positioned to capitalize on this rally. Pan American Silver Pan American Silver Corp. (NYSE: PAAS) operates one of the largest primary silver-portfolios in the world, with assets across Mexico, Peru, Canada, Argentina, and Bolivia. The company produced roughly 20 million ounces of silver in 2024, making it a pure-play option for investors seeking direct exposure to rising silver prices. Pan American's strength lies in its diversified asset base and operational scale. Flagship operations include the La Colorada mine in Mexico and Cerro Moro in Argentina. With silver prices surging past $95, the company's profit margins have expanded significantly. The company also produces gold, zinc, and copper as byproducts, which provide additional revenue streams and help offset operational costs. For investors looking for an established operator with proven reserves and the infrastructure to benefit immediately from higher silver prices, PAAS stock offers compelling upside potential. First Majestic Silver First Majestic Silver Corp. (NYSE: AG) is one of the few remaining pure-play silver producers, with all operations concentrated in Mexico. The company operates three producing mines and has consistently maintained production around 12 to 15 million silver-equivalent ounces annually. First Majestic's vertical integration is notable: it owns a bullion retail operation that sells coins and bars directly to consumers, allowing the company to capture retail premiums during price rallies. The company has also been disciplined about capital allocation, focusing on high-grade deposits and maintaining relatively low all-in sustaining costs. With silver above $95, First Majestic's margins are expanding rapidly. Its focused approach—concentrating on silver rather than diversifying into multiple metals—gives investors pure exposure to silver price movements, making it an attractive option for bullish investors. And here's the leveraged effect: while the spot price of silver is up about 213%, AG stock is up 331% over the same period. Wheaton Precious Metals Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (NYSE: WPM) operates under a fundamentally different business model than traditional miners: it's a streaming company. Rather than running mines, Wheaton provides upfront capital to mining companies in exchange for the right to purchase silver and gold at significantly reduced prices over the life of the mine. This model offers several advantages. Wheaton avoids many operational risks, capital expenditures, and permitting delays that affect traditional miners. The company typically maintains industry-leading profit margins — often exceeding 60% — because it purchases metals at fixed, below-market prices. With streaming agreements spanning more than 20 mines across the Americas, Wheaton offers diversified exposure without the same concentration risk as single-asset miners. As silver prices climb above $95, Wheaton's streaming contracts become increasingly valuable since the company still acquires metal at predetermined prices well below spot. For conservative investors seeking silver exposure with lower operational risk and strong margins, WPM represents a compelling option in this rally. WPM stock is up 143.87% in the last 12 months.
