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
Of all base metals, zinc is the one he is most positive on because China has increased zinc consumption but is cautious about a double dip in the economy. Great base metal company with lots of cash. Likes the new CEO. Would like to see the company broken up which would give it a lot more upside.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick July 20/09. Up 46.64%.) Still huge value here. They are sitting on $900 million in cash and have a great new mine, Laura copper/gold mine. If it got up to $16-$17 he might sell.
HOLD
New CEO, which is something the company has lacked. Continuing to expand its high-grade asset in Manitoba. Tremendous land spread.
HOLD
New CEO. Good reputation in industry. Give him some time to see what he can do. They have lots of cash and some undeveloped assets. Medium and long-term outlook for zinc, copper and nickel are good. Acquisition is always in the cards for this company.
SELL
New CEO. As a group, mining stocks, excluding precious metals, are not behaving the right way. Could just be the seasonal weakness that you get in the summertime.
DON'T BUY
There is a pretty sharp gap where the stock went up last Sept. From there there is support at that level but it fell below that level recently and is having trouble getting back. It could easily go down to the level it was at before the sharp gap.
DON'T BUY
Seasonal strength is from end of November until end of April. It did not follow the trend this year. Has not been acting well at all. It broke a key support level recently (down) and will have difficulty moving above that range.
DON'T BUY
On any of these metal companies, you have to wait for demand and commodity pricing to pick up. If you want, you could establish partial positions on dips and then wait for it to turn and do better.
BUY
Have about $5-$6 in cash and are in a good commodity section. Have come up with some big fines and have lots of ore to dig out of the ground. Prime takeover candidate.
WEAK BUY
It’s a chicken’s way to play the recovery on commodities (base metals). The stock basically has gone nowhere. Has a great balance sheet and lots of cash but not a lot of sex appeal. You’ll be fine with this one.
TOP PICK
Management/board problems seem to be behind them now. Has a real host of quality assets. Excellent balance sheet with almost $5-$6 per share in cash.
TOP PICK
Zinc/copper producer. Very low-cost reserves. Strong takeover candidate. Has about $6-$7 a share in cash. Trades around 4X cash flow.
TRADE
Seems like it will be treading water for a while.
DON'T BUY
Materials space looks interesting. A lot of talk lately as to whether it would be acquired so the stock has been relatively flat in the last little while. (See Top Picks.)
BUY ON WEAKNESS
He has a model price of $22.55 giving it a 77% upside. He would like it at $11.80. Too small for his portfolios. Can be volatile.
