7 Precious Metals Stocks That Will Offset the Effects of Inflation - 4 of 7

 
 

#4 - First Majestic (NYSE:AG)

The first three stocks on this list have been gold producers. And while there’s a case to be made for the yellow metal today, there may be an even stronger case for silver. Which brings us to First Majestic (NYSE:AG). After spiking at the beginning of the year, AG stock has been a laggard. But simple supply/demand dynamics make a strong case for a move higher.

If you look at the recent infrastructure bill that is likely to pass through Congress, you’ll see an emphasis on electric vehicles and solar technology. These are two sectors that will continue to have strong demand for silver. In fact, according to data provided by the company, 57% of silver consumption comes from industrial applications.

First Majestic is also the only mining company that makes their own production available in the form of silver bullion. The company’s Bullion Store is open 24/7 for online ordering.  Analysts give AG stock a consensus price target of $21 which would be a 54.87% gain from its current level.
