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.

SELL

Since zinc has dropped to about $1.15 it is far more attractive. Balance sheet is pristine. Company is sitting on $500 million in cash. However, if there is no growth it could be a value trap. Not sure what the catalyst is on this company. He is not sure.

COMMENT

Material stocks in general have been in a tough environment, particularly relating to copper and zinc. Estimates on cash flow go from $3.60 last year to around $3.70, which doesn't look horrendously expensive. The question is how long will it take them to bring some of their developing mines on and are you paying too far in advance. Not a bad price for long-term investors.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) Wouldn't be tempted to buy. Zinc is the primary metal, which is much more economically oriented.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Doesn't believe the commodities are out of the picture yet.

COMMENT

Announced a buyback up to 10% of the stock over a one-year period. He would have preferred to see a special dividend or an acquisition. This will be a company that gets through the recession. If they don't make an acquisition, they will be acquired.

BUY

Gently optimistic about this company. Its moves tend to be gentle. In a correctional phase at the moment. China has a tax relief period on zinc, so the commodity is rushing out of the country. This will end next year, so zinc prices will likely rise again. Expanding its Lalor Lake and expect there will be more discoveries and acquisitions.

WATCH

Believes base metals should be strong in 2008. Has recently gone through quite a bit of a correction and needs to find support, which should come in around $17 - $18.

BUY

About $7 of cash on hand per share. Expect they're looking for acquisitions, but somewhat difficult as a lot of companies are trading up. Recently found a fairly nice zinc deposit, which is intriguing for the longer term. Numbers were a little disappointing on the refining side. Quarterly report was a little spotty.

WEAK BUY

Discovered a large amount of zinc in Manitoba. Relatively cheap. He is more cautious on the mining side. Feels that eventually a correction will come. If you are going to play this sector, this would be a good one.

TOP PICK

Has expanded in a very significant grade its metal potential in the Manitoba area. Expects there will be more discoveries.

BUY

Another core holding. They mine zinc and copper. Significant cash flow generator. Top notch management team. Are doing exploration of their current properties, and making progress there.

DON'T BUY

Be cautious. It's an old story, you want new stories.

HOLD

Not his favourite. Stick with it as long as commodities continue to stay strong.

DON'T BUY

Zinc. It's a darling, so he thinks there are traders in it making it volatile. Zinc is auto related, US related, so wouldn't be his favourite metal. Pretty fully valued.

COMMENT

Could be a takeout or a good expansion. Fabulous cash flow. Just hopes they won’t be forced to pay out all their free cash flows in the form of a dividend.
