Hudbay Minerals (HBM-T) has garnered mixed reviews from analysts, reflecting both optimism and caution regarding its prospects. Many experts highlight the company's strong quarterly performance, significant free cash flow, and solid production outlook, particularly in copper, which is crucial given the increasing demand driven by electric vehicles. There is an acknowledgment of Hudbay's safer jurisdiction compared to competitors like Freeport-McMoRan, as well as commendations for its management. Some analysts suggest that the stock is not overly expensive based on earnings forecasts, while others see potential risks linked to copper price volatility and political instability in regions like Peru. Overall, despite some bearish notes on asset quality and market positioning, many believe Hudbay could be a sound mid-cap mining investment for those bullish on copper in the long term.

Consensus
Buy
Valuation
Fair Value
WEAK BUY

Tough to answer whether to buy. Impressive beat last quarter, much stronger outlook, markedly higher output in Manitoba, affirmed production guidance, positive free cashflow for 5th consecutive quarter. Nice growth. Not pricey at 18.5x 2025 earnings.

Depends on your view of copper. If you think it's going higher (partly due to Trump and partly to lackluster China), then the better view is yes, buy. He's a copper bull over time.

HOLD

Owns a bit of this, instead of FCX, because it's in Canada and he understands it. Quality of assets not at the standard of FCX, but it's in a safe jurisdiction and he likes management.

Our PAST TOP PICK with HBM is progressing well.  To remain disciplined, we recommend trailing up the stop (from $10) to $11 at this time.

His choice in the mining space, in his global equity growth fund.

BUY

One of his primary holdings right now in the mining sector. Well positioned, given the demand for copper being what it is. Last quarter was probably one of their best ever. Gold production was better than hoped. A good place to look if you want a mid-cap mining company.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate this Canadian producer of copper and gold with holdings extending into South America as a TOP PICK.  We like that cash reserves are growing, while debt is retired.  It trades at 11x earnings and 1.5x book.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $9) to $10, looking to achieve $16 -- upside potential of 27%.  Yield 0.1%

(Analysts’ price target is $16.40)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

HBM focuses on copper, gold and zinc production with primary production in Peru and Canada.  It has benefited from both rising production and prices.  Management has used the growing free cash flow to de-lever its balance sheet, while growing cash reserves.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $9, looking to achieve $16 -- upside potential of 28%.  Yield 0.1%

(Analysts’ price target is $15.82)

RISKY

Copper's been all over the place, and really down lately on a weaker China. Whole copper complex trades at a premium because they know there's this thirst for copper amid shortages. Materially paid down debt. Trades at discount (4.8) to large-cap peers (5.6). He models 40% EPS at a 31 PE.

Was risky, de-risked to a large extent. Copper's not for the faint of heart. A whippy player, but a winner if it continues to execute well and copper does well.

DON'T BUY

Doesn't own shares. Considers company a collection of Tier 2 deposits. Prefers better assets in Tier 1 assets.

HOLD

Excellent chart that continues to perform. Expecting further strength. Would recommend holding until market cycle turns.

He wanted exposure to EV and HBM produces copper (for EVs). This has worked veryw ell.

precious metals
BUY ON WEAKNESS

Just because large institutions buying this stock - not always a good reason to buy. Would recommend looking into the quality of business. Current share price is too high in order to invest. Would wait for share price weakness before investing. 

precious metals
HOLD

Huge rally. Has now come down in RSI ranking, along with other metal producers. So far, looks like a correction within an uptrend, holding above the early May low of $11-11.50. Last couple of days, price of copper has started to pick back up again, starting to stabilize, and may see stocks do the same.

precious metals
Unspecified

It is a top copper play and added copper production at the right point in the cycle. However there is political risk in Peru where it has substantial holdings.

precious metals
WAIT

Not the highest-quality name. Acquisition in Colorado. Problematic balance sheet, are they paying down debt fast enough for the market? Very leveraged to copper prices. If copper goes to $5, EPS growth on this name is fabulous. Don't buy right now.
