Technical Analysis 
Sep 4, 2026, 12:00 amThis summary was created by AI, based on 12 opinions in the last 12 months.
Experts have mixed opinions on Hudbay Minerals (HBM-T), reflecting a balance of cautious optimism and concern. Several reviews highlight the company's potential for growth, particularly with its flagship copper concentrate mine in Peru and plans to expand production by 24% in the coming years. However, geopolitical risks, especially in Peru, and the volatility of commodity prices create uncertainty. While some analysts see the company as a solid long-term play in a favorable commodity market, others are wary of potential corrections and recommend watching for price pullbacks before making a significant investment. The stock has performed well recently but is also experiencing caution due to its significant recent gains and the cyclical nature of the sector.
They operate in less politically risky areas like Peru which is expanding, and are not in Africa, and a copper mine in Arizona. Also will develop a project in Alberta. Today, they reached an agreement with the Cree Nation in Alberta--good news. Copper is needed for electricity production and we will likely see more demand in the future.
(Analysts’ price target is $14.56)

Premium contentOur PAST TOP PICK with HBM has triggered its stop at $11. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. This will result in a net investment loss of 12%, when combined with our previous guidance.
Tough to answer whether to buy. Impressive beat last quarter, much stronger outlook, markedly higher output in Manitoba, affirmed production guidance, positive free cashflow for 5th consecutive quarter. Nice growth. Not pricey at 18.5x 2025 earnings.
Depends on your view of copper. If you think it's going higher (partly due to Trump and partly to lackluster China), then the better view is yes, buy. He's a copper bull over time.
Owns a bit of this, instead of FCX, because it's in Canada and he understands it. Quality of assets not at the standard of FCX, but it's in a safe jurisdiction and he likes management.

One of his primary holdings right now in the mining sector. Well positioned, given the demand for copper being what it is. Last quarter was probably one of their best ever. Gold production was better than hoped. A good place to look if you want a mid-cap mining company.
Michael SprungPremium contentWe reiterate this Canadian producer of copper and gold with holdings extending into South America as a TOP PICK. We like that cash reserves are growing, while debt is retired. It trades at 11x earnings and 1.5x book. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $9) to $10, looking to achieve $16 -- upside potential of 27%. Yield 0.1%
(Analysts’ price target is $16.40)Premium contentHBM focuses on copper, gold and zinc production with primary production in Peru and Canada. It has benefited from both rising production and prices. Management has used the growing free cash flow to de-lever its balance sheet, while growing cash reserves. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $9, looking to achieve $16 -- upside potential of 28%. Yield 0.1%
(Analysts’ price target is $15.82)Copper's been all over the place, and really down lately on a weaker China. Whole copper complex trades at a premium because they know there's this thirst for copper amid shortages. Materially paid down debt. Trades at discount (4.8) to large-cap peers (5.6). He models 40% EPS at a 31 PE.
Was risky, de-risked to a large extent. Copper's not for the faint of heart. A whippy player, but a winner if it continues to execute well and copper does well.
He wanted exposure to EV and HBM produces copper (for EVs). This has worked veryw ell.

Does have international exposure, so it's not immune to geopolitical risk. A country can look stable at the outset of an investment, but then look different 10 years later. More volatile relative to some peers, so you need a strong stomach. Long-term view still positive.
Still in metals, gold and copper, that will deliver growth going forward. Sees demand for gold getting stronger as we move through the year. Copper is still needed for the electrical and infrastructure grid buildouts.
