Coming up short of expectations is just part of the problem
Reporting Q2 2025 revenue of $7.9 million (a 24.8% year-over-year decrease), U.S. Antimony came up considerably short of analysts' expectations that it would post $21.7 million on the top line.
Although the company reported a 26% year-over-year increase in the pounds of antimony it sold during the quarter, revenue declined due to an average selling price that was about 52% lower than the same period last year.
The company's less auspicious 2026 outlook was another catalyst for the stock's drop. Whereas the original 2026 revenue guidance was $125 million, the company now projects sales of $65 million to $75 million. According to management, several factors have figured into the decision to slash revenue guidance -- one of them being the steep decline in antimony prices -- from $28 per pound (when the original guidance was provided) to about $10.50 per pound in the spot market during Q2.
Another source of concern for the bulls occurred today, when H.C. Wainwright downwardly revised its price target on U.S. Antimony to $9.25 from $11.75.
Is today's sell-off a buying opportunity?
While the plunge in U.S. Antimony stock is surely disconcerting for shareholders, it's important to recognize that the company reported nothing devastating yesterday. Enduring the pain of declining commodity prices and their subsequent effects on mining companies' financials is an unavoidable part of investing in mining stocks. With U.S. Antimony continuing to represent a compelling path to exposure to antimony, a critical mineral not produced by many American companies, today's decline presents a great opportunity to load up on shares.
