TSE:HBM
All the base metals are getting creamed, down a ton. Frustrating--they aren't hitting on any of their metrics. It's getting more difficult to produce copper at present prices, problems with the mines. It's oversold. There could be heavy tax-loss selling soon. He wishes operations were going better. In a recent controversy, a seller doesn't want Hudbay to buy anything now as takeover and merger specualtion ensues.
An unhappy hedge fund and shareholder which insists that HBM halt a big acquisition. HBM is languishing more than its peers. Their upcoming projects like Rosemount have been delayed, but their primary investment is performing quite well. Some quarters have seen some setbacks. Now, the stock is very cheap at 60-70% book value, a buying opportunity. (Analysts price target: $9.93)
The vast majority of revenue is copper and base metals. It is a base metals play. You have to watch China who has the biggest net swing for demand. They are growing at a slower rate every year. This stock will probably underperform lots of other things you could hold. It is a fine company otherwise.
