Coeur Mining IncRecord revenue, record free cash flow, first dividend in 30 years, expanded buyback, and strong guidance are all positive financial events.

Coeur Mining reported its biggest quarter ever on August 6, with revenue crossing $1 billion for the first time, driven by the first full quarter of contributions from the newly acquired New Afton and Rainy River mines. Free cash flow hit a record $388 million, cash on hand doubled to $1.1 billion, and the company initiated its first dividend in 30 years at $0.02 per share. However, a noncash accounting charge of $140 million tied to the fair value uplift of acquired Rainy River inventory dented reported earnings, and both Canadian mines are still ramping up below original targets. Management expanded its buyback authorization to $750 million and repurchased $110 million of stock through June 30, while full-year guidance calls for roughly $2.3 billion of EBITDA and $1.5 billion of free cash flow.
