Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 04 | Convertible notes completion | Negative | -2.6% | Completion of US$350M 0.25% unsecured convertible notes due 2031. |

Recent EXK news shows share price declines following convertible note offerings, while the Bolañitos mine sale announcement coincided with a positive price reaction. Earnings with mixed fundamentals saw only a modest negative move.
Over the last month, Endeavour Silver reported stronger Q3 2025 operating metrics with 3.04M oz silver-equivalent production and $111.4M revenue, but also a $42.0M net loss. It agreed to sell the Bolañitos mine for up to $50M, and then launched, priced, and completed a sizable unsecured convertible senior notes financing totaling up to US$350M due 2031. Those financing steps, intended to repay its credit facility and advance the Pitarrilla project, previously coincided with single-day share declines between -2.58% and -5.34%.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock moved -5.3% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite pre-existing strength—EXK trading above its 200-day MA and less than 10% below its 52-week high—would fit the prior pattern where recent convertible note steps saw declines of -2.58% and -5.34%. Selling pressure could have reflected concerns about dilution and added leverage from the US$300M unsecured convertible notes, even though proceeds were earmarked for repaying the credit facility and advancing the Pitarrilla project.
