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.

Many experts recommend a tactical approach, suggesting investors watch for pullbacks before establishing larger positions.

DON'T BUY

CEO just left and he is always leery when this type of thing happens. Good balance sheet. He doesn't like companies that are up 70X over a few years as he is looking for contrarian plays. The new CEO is talking about acquisitions because a lot of the mineral companies are cheap, but he questions that.

HOLD

Has nothing against this, but wouldn't add to it. Had a great discovery north of Flin Flon a few months ago, which they will be able to develop. Very carefully managed. Zinc has been in the doldrums for a while.

DON'T BUY

Of all the commodities, base metals are the most economically sensitive. As long as there is concern about the US economy, they are going to under perform.

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.
