First Majestic loses its luster Shares of First Majestic Silver dropped 9% after the silver mining company got a negative write-up from stock analysts. BMO downgraded First Majestic from market perform to underperform, cutting its price target on the stock by 17% to the equivalent of about $5.90 per share. The move follows company updates on reserves and resources that the analysts found discouraging. Nevertheless, First Majestic remains one of the purest-play investments in silver, and if prices of the white metal rise, the stock should recover from recent losses.
