This summary was created by AI, based on 12 opinions in the last 12 months.

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
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.
COMMENT
Whole year has been a tough market outside of a few areas. This company has suffered from this. Sitting on a lot of cash. Announced they were acquiring Skye Resources (SKR-T) (nickel in Guatemala) and they should add another leg of growth to this story. Not in production and will take some time. Later in 08 and into 09 the growth will be fine.
COMMENT
Recently announced they were acquiring Skye Resources (SKR-T) and the market doesn’t seem to like the price they are paying for it. There’s a lot of fear of the pullback in demand for base metals. Getting to a price where he will be taking a serious look at it.
SHORT
Hard to be excited about this stock. Buying Skye Mine, costs will probably double what they thought.
