Hudbay Minerals (HBM-T) is in the spotlight as experts weigh in on its performance and prospects. The company operates a copper concentrate mine in Peru, facing geopolitical risks and a volatile commodity market. While some analysts see long-term potential in copper due to persistent demand, especially from China, others express caution regarding current valuations and recent price corrections. The overall sentiment indicates mixed feelings, balancing the potential growth from its Arizona expansion with concerns about financial performance and market conditions. Many experts recommend a tactical approach, suggesting investors watch for pullbacks before establishing larger positions.

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.
TOP PICK
Has lots of cash flow stream, some great growth projects, which are all reasonable sizes and in great jurisdictions.
COMMENT
A bit of a drawback in that it doesn't pay much of a dividend but the company has a huge amount of cash on hand. Potential takeover target. Well run.
TOP PICK
$700 million in cash. Their new mine in Manitoba, which is opening in the next 12 to 18 months, will take their gold production from 100,000 ounces to 250,000 ounces. Close their copper smelter, which was a millstone to them. Thinks there copper project in Peru is a go.
BUY
Everybody’s selling commodity stocks because of worry about Chinese growth but over a longer period of 2 to 5 years, demand for minerals and metals is going to continue to increase.
TOP PICK
There are only a couple of names in North/South America that are relatively cheap. He would double his position if it goes lower from here. You aren’t paying a lot for Peru.
WAIT
Have lots of cash on balance sheet but will be spending it to bring all the growth into production. Loves the story but it is too early.
BUY
Teck Resources (TCK.B-T) or Hudbay Minerals (HBM-T)? Both are growth resource stocks so dividends are not exciting. From a safety standpoint Teck is bigger and less focused in base metals and has significant coal content. A lot of their resources is driven by Chinese demand. Hudbay is very cheap and has about $5-$6 in cash and is another good choice..
HOLD
A quality blue chip copper, gold, zinc resource company. Going through a period of seasonal weakness. Have a big production ramp up in the next 2 to 3 years. Have a cashed up balance sheet so are not dependent on market conditions for funding.
SELL
Got stopped out of virtually all his metal stocks through March and into April. At this point there is not enough to tell him that the correction is done.
BUY
Recently reduced his holdings as he feels China is slowing down and the copper market is coming down. Have almost $1 billion in cash plus a dividend. Combination of copper, zinc and gold. Expanding their Laylor deposit. Cheap stock.
TOP PICK
Was $30 a few years ago and is a way better company now. Have $800 million in the bank. Now have a New York listing. Closed the old copper smelter in Flin Flon Manitoba. Devoted themselves to finding more production through the Americas. Known as a copper/zinc producer but do produce 100,000 ounces of gold annually, soon to be 250,000 ounces.
DON'T BUY
Technically it is currently in a downward trend. Has not been following the seasonal patterns that other base metal stocks have been following. There is support around $11. Copper and zinc prices have been trending down. Wait for support.
