The Week

Avino Silver & Gold Mines (ASM.US) fell 1.87% this week to close at $7.33, underperforming the S&P 500’s +0.09% by roughly 1.96 percentage points. The week swung within a 12.48% range, starting at $7.37 on Monday (31 Aug), dropping to a weekly low of $6.92 on Tuesday (1 Sep), then rebounding to a weekly high of $7.84 on Thursday (3 Sep) before slipping back to $7.33 on Friday (4 Sep). Weekly volume reached 21.1m shares, with average daily turnover running about 12% above the 60-day median.

Key Events

The main company-specific story this week was earnings. On 1 Sep, Avino reported Q2 FY26 results: net income more than doubled year on year to $10.9m, while revenue rose 23% to $26.8m. The same trading day saw two market-wide articles mention Avino alongside space intelligence, psychedelics, AI infrastructure and hard assets, framing it as part of a group of overlooked fringe or outlier stocks. On 4 Sep the company filed an SD form, disclosed before Friday’s open. In timing terms, the share price fell on the day results were published, bounced two sessions later, but did not claw back the week’s early losses.

Analyst Ratings

Four brokers cover the name: three rate it buy and one rates it hold, with no sell or underperform ratings. The consensus recommendation is buy, and the consensus target price is $10.6375, about 45.1% above the latest close of $7.33. Individual targets range from $7.50 to $12.75, a wide spread that points to meaningful disagreement among analysts on valuation. Within the precious metals and minerals industry, ASM.US ranks second out of six covered names.

The Week Ahead

The macro calendar is fairly busy. On 8 Sep the US releases the NFIB small business optimism index, previously at 99.8. On 10 Sep initial jobless claims, final demand PPI, core PPI, existing home sales and wholesale sales are all due, alongside a 10-year Treasury auction. With precious metals names trading with elevated volatility this week, the coming inflation and labour market data could shift sentiment across the sector, making interest-rate expectations worth watching for ASM.US.

In Short

Avino delivered clearly better earnings this week yet still finished lower, while the consensus remains buy with a target price roughly 45% above spot. That gap is the key tension. On valuation, the stock trades around 4.37x book and 27.5x earnings, not a low multiple. The latest session’s money-flow snapshot shows mixed direction across large, medium and small orders rather than a clear tilt. The question ahead is whether macro data and precious metals sentiment can align with the company’s improving fundamentals.
