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.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Was drilling for zinc but hit gold in tremendous concentrations. A terrific strike in northern Manitoba. Developing a mine takes a lot of money and a lot of time. Doesn't know what gold prices will be when they eventually develop the mine. There is a potential for that to be a takeover target. We prefer to buy it at $9-$10.
SELL
(Market Call Minute) There’s no growth there. They have some cash but are not doing anything with it.
DON'T BUY
New management and there is a change of strategies. She is not clear what the strategy is. There are better names available. Very cheap.
BUY
Copper and zinc. Even though he is not in favour of base metals because of the current economy, this is one that he would like the most. Very strong balance sheet with about $5.50 cash per share. Expected to generate $1 per share and cash flow also. Very cheap valuation. Expect it will do very well in the near term.
BUY
Zinc and copper. Not a bad bet.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 1/08. Down 20.2%.)
TOP PICK
Has $800 million cash, which is virtually the share price. You also get a bunch of mines thrown in. Thinks the management team and the board are now strong and sensible. Have 2 new mines coming on in northern Manitoba, which look good. Closing the copper smelter so the environment overhang and $150 million to modernize it will not be a factor.
DON'T BUY
Canadian zinc, copper, gold and silver. Chart shows it is starting to turn down a little bit. Upward trend but it's next high was lower than the previous one, which is not a good sign indicating a potential reversal.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) People are confused by all the political machinations. It will be resolved and 25 great minds will be created when it's over and there will be more.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Great cash position. Looks like there could be some M & A activity here.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) It's at a support level on an upside trend. Be prepared to exit quickly.
DON'T BUY
Just sold a large part of their assets. Couple this with cash they have on the balance sheet they are very well capitalized. Thinks new management is in place to find ways to grow the business. Quite rich on a valuation basis right now.
BUY
Added to his position recently. High probability of a deal occurring here. It will have to have at a much higher price. Its assets are modest on a long-term basis. He sees improvement in Zinc and Copper continuing.
HOLD
Got involved in a merger with Lundin (LUN-T) and he didn't like the way it was structured but the company backed off. Have good assets. Zinc market is better. Still has some uncertainty as to who is going to manage the company.
PARTIAL BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Probably okay to add some here. Not his favourite.
