First Majestic Silver Corp. heads into the Friday, December 26, 2025 U.S. session with two powerful forces colliding: a late-year surge in precious metals—silver has just pushed into record territory—and a company-specific news flow that includes a major asset sale plan, a fresh financing package, and expansion-driven exploration updates.

December 22, 2025 — First Majestic Silver Corp. is starting the week with a powerful tailwind: silver just printed a fresh all-time high, pushing precious-metals equities back into the spotlight. As of 13:05 UTC today, AG was trading at $16.69, up about 3.4% versus the prior close.
