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

Experts have mixed opinions on Hudbay Minerals (HBM-T), reflecting a balance of cautious optimism and concern. Several reviews highlight the company's potential for growth, particularly with its flagship copper concentrate mine in Peru and plans to expand production by 24% in the coming years. However, geopolitical risks, especially in Peru, and the volatility of commodity prices create uncertainty. While some analysts see the company as a solid long-term play in a favorable commodity market, others are wary of potential corrections and recommend watching for price pullbacks before making a significant investment. The stock has performed well recently but is also experiencing caution due to its significant recent gains and the cyclical nature of the sector.

BUY
Believes in the long-term metal price cycle. Very cheap. Once we get over this period of weakness, these intermediate producers will be takeout or merger candidates. There could be some rocky times in the short term. For a 3/4-year period, this is a buy.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 14/06. Up 12.5%.) Trades around 4 X cash flow. Feels that Teck (TCK.B-T) and this company should get together. Good price.
BUY
A copper/zinc play. Not a mature company as yet and could still be considered undervalued.
COMMENT
Has been looking at this recently. About 60% copper and 40% zinc. Both metals have done well but he is a little nervous about copper prices. It is only 3.5 X next year's cash flow and looks very cheap.
BUY
Trading at 6 X current earnings and 4 X forward earnings. Value investors would definitely buy something like this. Feels that copper and zinc commodities will continue going up. Could be a takeover target.
BUY
Stock has done very well because zinc has gone up. At the current zinc price, the stock is selling at about 3/3.5 X earnings, so it is very cheap providing zinc prices stay high.. High quality, low-cost.
HOLD
Showing production growth. Short-term caution: with the US slowdown, it may be difficult for the next couple of months for these stocks to move aggressively higher. Doesn't feel we are at the end of the resource cycle yet.
BUY
Zinc is a very attractive metal. Numbers will be good next quarter. Throwing off an incredible amount of cash flow.
BUY
Their last quarter was pretty good but the stock came off $1. 2 of their mines were closed for the quarter. A very legitimate takeout candidate.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 22/06. Up 22%.) A very exciting company.
BUY
Looks fantastic in this sector. The profit growth is nothing short of spectacular. The ROE level is impressive.
WEAK BUY
Looking at this one, but it looks a little expensive in terms of the relative junior. The price is up because metal prices are relatively high. If you buy, be prepared to average down if you get caught.
BUY
With all the acquisitions of major mining companies, the only 2 left will be Alcan (AL-T) and Teck Cominco (TCK.B-T). Investors, portfolio managers, etc will be starting to look at intermediates such as this.
BUY
This, along with a couple of other intermediates, could be up for grabs.
BUY
Commodity prices are going to remain high and zinc is one of his favourites.
