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.

Valuation

Fair Value

FCX

BUY

Both base and precious metals and it’s the gold that has analysts interested. Earnings and sales have improved dramatically and outlook is good. Listing on the NYSE in October which will increase visibility to US investors but probably won’t change overall valuation.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 20/09. Up 74.88%.) Has some good room ahead of it.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 20/09. Up 70.77%.) Still has room to the upside. Developing the Lalor mine, a terrific gold/copper mine. Try to Buy in the $11-$13 range.

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.
