- Coeur Mining will be added to the S&P MidCap 400 before the open on June 22.
- CDE dropped 11.4% Friday and lost around 15% for the week after precious metals slid.
- Investors are watching for Coeur’s June 10 dividend, U.S. inflation numbers and the Fed’s meeting set for the week after.
Coeur Mining is set to join the S&P MidCap 400 this week, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices, but CDE shares dropped 11.4% on Friday. The move boosts the miner’s index weight even as its stock takes a hit.
Coeur will join the index for mid-cap U.S. stocks before the open on June 22, following a quarterly update by S&P Dow Jones Indices. The move puts Coeur into a key benchmark watched by some investors and funds, but on Friday the stock still moved mostly on gold and silver prices. S&P Dow Jones Indices detailed the changes in a .
CDE finished Friday at $16.37, dropping $2.11 on the day. Shares touched a low of $16.15 in the session. The stock wrapped up last week at $19.32, so that’s about a 15% slide for the week. Over 43 million shares changed hands, a big volume day.
Coeur wasn’t alone under pressure. Gold prices slid roughly 3% Friday and silver lost 6.8% as stronger-than-expected U.S. payrolls data sent Treasury yields up, making it costlier to hold bullion, which pays no interest. The “opportunity cost” for investors rose, with Bart Melek, global head of commodity strategy at TD Securities, saying “the cost of carry is getting quite high.” Reuters
Other precious metals stocks were hit too. Hecla Mining slid 12.2%, Pan American Silver sank 10.3%, and First Majestic Silver dropped 14.1%. Losses were not limited to Coeur but spread across silver-linked names.
Coeur Mining isn’t just a single-mine player. The company owns seven operations across North America, most of its revenue coming from gold and silver. Copper brings in less, even after picking up New Afton and Rainy River from the New Gold deal. Coeur said gold made up 56% of revenue in Q1, with silver at 42%.
Coeur’s last quarter brought in $856 million in revenue and $247 million in GAAP net income. Free cash flow was $267 million. CEO Mitchell Krebs called it a “strong start to what is expected to be a record year.” The company’s latest results cheered bulls. Coeur Mining
One company cash event is on the calendar for the week. Coeur announced in May it was declaring its first-ever quarterly dividend of 2 cents a share. The payout is due June 10 for shareholders of record as of late May.
Investors are focused on macro data now. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the May consumer price index on June 10 at 8:30 a.m. The CPI, which measures consumer price changes, is watched for signals on interest rates.
Next up is the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting set for June 16-17. Expectations for rates to stay higher for longer tend to pressure gold and silver, since bullion pays no interest. If the central bank gives a nod to lower rates, it usually lifts the sector.
The risk remains. If yields climb further or if gold and silver slump again like they did Friday, getting into the index may not be enough to steady CDE. Coeur has also listed standard mining risks, including output and cost changes, permitting issues, operational events, integrating New Afton and Rainy River, taxes, tariffs, and sourcing both materials and skilled labor.
Coeur’s index profile looks tidier than it did last week, but the stock didn’t get much love from the market. The next several sessions will show if buyers care about the June 22 S&P MidCap 400 move, or keep trading CDE as a high-beta precious metals play.
