Experts display a range of views on Wheaton Precious Metals, reflecting both optimism and caution regarding its position in the precious metals market. Many believe it serves as a good diversifier in a portfolio, particularly as concerns about inflation and market uncertainty grow. The company's royalty-based model is viewed favorably, presenting lower risks and more predictable margins compared to traditional mining stocks. However, some analysts caution against entering at this time due to potential corrections in gold prices and the need for the sector to stabilize after a psychological peak. Overall, the sentiment suggests a cautious optimism, with some recommending it as a buy while others advise waiting for more favorable conditions.
Dependent on the price of silver, but at the same time it is a royalty company with fixed costs of roughly $4.06 an ounce. It will be profitable, but how profitable will be totally dependent on how high silver goes. Would prefer this one to owning silver itself. Thinks there is some growth here over time. Well managed.
Investing in gold/silver producing stocks has been a very, very challenging environment. Thinks that a lot of investors have just given up. Have been horrible performers because they have not been able to manage their costs and it has been very difficult to grow production. They are also often operating in politically unstable countries. Royalty plays, like this one, have been the best performing of the poorly performing lot. Generally takes a long time for a stock to recycle its way through with a lot of resistance on the way up. Because of rising interest rates and an anticipated stronger global economy, gold and silver will continue to be problematic investments.
The only concern he has with this is that they lent a lot of money to Barrick (ABX-T) for Pasqualama to do the uptake and he is not sure if Barrick is going to be able to deliver on this project which will create problems on the balance sheet. However, if we get to see a nice increase in silver prices, this company will follow along because the cost of their production is in the $5 range.
This one depends on your outlook on the precious metal space. He has not been constructive on this area. Very strong management team and excellent leverage to the commodity and a great business model. They own a bunch of royalty streams so they are not exposed to the cost of getting the commodity out.
The peak period of strength for silver starts anywhere from January all the way through to about April. If you own, he would suggest you take profits before the quarterly futures expiration in March, so you are looking from January to mid March for silver. Look for an entry point more into December. However, the chart is showing lower lows and lower highs and is trading significantly below moving averages. You want to see improving relative performances.
