Summary
While a few high-quality precious metals names continue to trade at very reasonable multiples, First Majestic trades at a P/NAV multiple that's higher than that of Wheaton Precious Metals (WPM) and Franco-Nevada (FNV). This is despite First Majestic being a low-margin silver producer with three shorter life assets and the bulk of its NAV tied to a Tier-2 ranked jurisdiction (Mexico), and is the antithesis of what one should look for in an investment (lower relative quality, and expensive on relative value).
A rising silver price will lift all boats, and technically AG is nowhere as overbought as it got in 2021, which suggests there's likely further upside here medium-term even if it is overdue for a correction short-term. Still, for those looking for value in the sector, I think there are far more attractive bets elsewhere than chasing First Majestic Silver Corp. after a ~90% rally above US$7.90 per share.
