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.

COMMENT

A victim of the sentiment to zinc and nickel. Has always liked the company, but zinc doesn't look very promising in the near term. Also the victim of hedge fund owners who pushed it to do some kind of merger in 2007. They acquired Skye Resources (SKR-T), a marginal nickel project. Has significant cash position and if they don't proceed with the Felix (?) Project they should be able to weather the storm.

HOLD

You have to believe in zinc to buy this one.

STRONG BUY

Have a lot of cash on the balance sheet. Thinks the stock got knocked down unnecessarily. Tremendous value at this point.

COMMENT

Did not like their acquisition of Skye Resources (SKR-T). They do have cash but now have Guatemala to develop, which is a potentially a $2 billion project. They were a zinc company but are now more of a copper company.

BUY

(Caller was interested for a 3 to 5 year hold.) For a long-term hold, this is a good entry point. Have a big cash position. The acquisition of Skye Resources (SKR-T) will add nickel to their component. Also have a lot of copper production and zinc.

DON'T BUY

Good volume on the upside when a stock is making new highs is pretty normal. Volume on the down side is not necessarily indicative of problems. The down trend line would be the overhead resistance. There is no need to rush into this right now. Wait for a base building pattern.

WATCH

Good example of what you want to see in a beaten-down mining company. Some very heavy volume in the last week or so. Typically a sign of a major bottom. Looks like some very strong support. Market is looking at this as a copper play, not zinc. Watch for it to go higher with a good accumulation.

TOP PICK

A big part of the disappointment with this company was buying Skye Resources (SKR-T) in Guatemala and the fact that zinc is down but 70% of its recovery is through copper. Has new management. Good assets in Manitoba.

COMMENT

Has always been a suspected takeover target. Stock is very cheap and the company generates tons of cash flow. Doesn't expect nickel will be going up in the short run.

DON'T BUY

Pretty much a pure zinc play and prices are very depressed.

DON'T BUY

Ridiculously cheap on any measure. Had a lot of cash but will have to use it to develop new mines with their last acquisition. Main product is lead/zinc that currently has an oversupply, which could continue into next year.

DON'T BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Minerals, particularly the base metals, are not the place to be right now.

DON'T BUY

Zinc is the one commodity that hasn’t done anything. Likes their cash and their long time potential as an acquisition target. Acquired Skye Resources (SKR-T) that didn’t have a producing asset and will cost billions of $’s to develop.

BUY

Zinc and Copper. One of the few fairly decent sized mining companies left. Fabulous cash flows. Startled the market when it bought Skye Resources (SKR-T) in Guatemala.

DON'T BUY

Zinc may be near the bottom. Wouldn't rush into this one although it looks cheap.
