This summary was created by AI, based on 12 opinions in the last 12 months.

Hudbay Minerals (HBM-T) has garnered mixed reviews from experts within the mining and resources sector, with a notable focus on its long-term potential in the copper and gold markets. Several analysts acknowledge the company's aspirations for growth, particularly its plans to increase production by 24% over the coming years and its promising developments in Arizona, specifically the Copper World project. However, there are warnings about the cyclical nature of commodity prices and the risk of potential pullbacks, especially given recent price highs. While there's recognition of the company's sound operational management and solid cash flow, fluctuations in metal stocks and concerns about overvaluation prompt a cautious approach among some experts. Overall, while Hudbay is seen as a significant player with potential upside, market conditions and technical charts suggest careful monitoring is essential.

COMMENT
Have a lot of respect for the company and their resource. He is nervous about base metal pricing in the next couple of years. He is suspicious that some of the economic revival we have seen is a consequence more of counterfeit (quantitative easing) then real economic strength. Probably a pretty good name if you are thinking of holding it for 10 years.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 3/11. Down 27.13%.) A copper/zinc story with a gold lining. They're going to move from 100,000 ounces of gold a year to about 250,000. There just isn't a lot of news as they develop their mine in Peru and northern Manitoba. Still likes.
BUY
Doesn’t like it fundamentally, but it looks good technically. It has shown a buy signal recently. It will pause at the $13 level. It has many days of large daily moves so you will see a little tailing off of the buying, but $11.50 might be a buying point. If it goes down to $11 you want to exit and that might be a stop loss.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Copper is at 17 week high and some of these stocks are starting to move. Chart shows a downtrend starting in late 2010 and broken in late 2011. Now we are hoping for a successive set of new lows. He expects some kind of a minor pullback. If it pulled back into the $9 range, he would load up. Good space to be in.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Dec 31/10, Down 41.49%) Company is going through a massive change. Building a new mine which will be an important mine. Doing a big project in Peru (politics affected investor sentiment). Almost $5 of cash per share. Thinks it will climb back up bit will take some time to get there.
DON'T BUY
Only base metal company he owns. Likes this one the most if there is going to be a bounce in copper. Has a half position, which he can always add to when it pulls back. Still a couple of questions. They are building mines and it is the CapX around the mine and how you finance.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
The downward trend has been broken but it looks like it wants to revisit the October low. We are coming to the seasonal strong time for the sector. The risk reward is really good.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 11/10. Down 39.62%.) Still loves this one. Doing very well. Have a new mine coming on next year. Doesn't see any catalysts in the next 2 quarters. $800 million plus in the bank. Expect they will be back in the $20’s before too long.
WAIT
Did analysis and liked what he saw. Their production in Flinflon did not come on and he will look at it again in 2012. Well run, good assets but a little early for him.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 4/10. Down 33.03%.) Fears on base metals has been misplaced on this company. Produces 100,000 ounces of gold annually. Ramping up with their new mine to 250,000 ounces. Screaming bargain.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 4/10. Down 33.03%.) Fears on base metals has been misplaced on this company. Produces 100,000 ounces of gold annually. Ramping up with their new mine to 250,000 ounces. Screaming bargain.
HOLD
Generally a name he likes. New CEO has done a good job of focusing the company. Increasing revenue from copper. Lots of cash. But stock has gone sideways and will continue. Good defensive name.
TOP PICK
Copper. Have a couple of growth projects in Canada as well as one in Peru. Looks like they could have $1-$2 billion in gold assets that they could spin out. Price could drop below $10, which would be uncomfortable, but would give him an advantage to buy more.
DON'T BUY
The metals producers are really out of favour. Severely under performed the market along with all metal producers. An area to avoid.
BUY
Likes that it trades very cheap on a cash flow basis. Their copper assets and the new mines that are going into production will really add to the bottom line.
