Why Did First Majestic Silver (TSX:AG) Move Today?

First Majestic Silver (TSX:AG) has drawn fresh attention after reporting record Q3 2026 revenue, sharp year over year profit growth and a higher quarterly dividend, while still dealing with San Dimas labor issues and a Mexican tax dispute.

Recent price action around First Majestic Silver reflects that mix of strong results and unresolved risks. The share price is up 2.64% over the past day and 7.38% over the week, yet it has fallen 9.94% over the past month and 16.58% over the last 90 days. That short term loss contrasts with a 33.84% one year total shareholder return and a very large 241.43% total shareholder return over three years. This suggests long term holders have still seen substantial gains even as current momentum looks to be cooling after the earnings driven rebound.

So after a record quarter, a richer dividend and a choppy share price, does First Majestic Silver still offer enough upside potential to justify the very real operational and tax risks, once you look at the valuation?
