What this transaction means for investors
Condire Management made an aggressive purchase in the fourth quarter. It added 1.5 million shares of Endeavour Silver, 50% of its previous 3 million share total.
With the investment management firm’s concentrated equity portfolio of 22 positions and $958 million in assets under management (AUM), the transaction stands out even further. The firm’s Endeavour Silver holding had a $42.3 million value at year-end, or 4.4% of AUM.
For investors to jump on board, they’d have to share Condire’s confidence that outsized share gains will continue. Over the last year, through March 11, the stock price increased 141.4%. That easily outpaced the S&P 500 index’s 21.6% total return, and the Nasdaq Composite’s 29.1%.
Given its mining business, the share price is correlated to silver and gold commodity prices. These have been increasing dramatically, but their future directions are notably difficult to predict.
