HL Comments

what's silly too is that the price of the miners is directly relate to the volatility of the spotprice silver but.....with the price of silver like this, the whole year, HL will have a profit of about 2 billion USD i.e. an EPS of about $3 i.e. a stockprice of 40?x $3.... so the longers are not at home and the algorithems are looking for things not existing?
What a bearish move after sale of mine for $600M. Locking in gains. Maybe buy SILJ. Good luck.
Management, do you see what the public thinks of your move to sell a mine? Stupid.
BUY THE DIP !!
HL performing much better than another stock that I own. Wish I bought more. Good luck!
The price is supressed. There is so much options expiring Friday.
If silver holds over $90/oz in 2026, Hecla free cash nearly 5X.
Silver miners might be able to quadruple their free cash flow generation if silver price hold above $75/ounce
this keep flat or down when metals up. so annoying
I agree
HL could be severly ubdervalued if silver rises and holds above $100/oz.
Take that back, at 18/share, HL already undervalued if silver hold at current $70/oz. Guess the market is skeptical about silver’s ability to hold this price level.

If you look at the published data on various sites about HL and the report from last week, then HL has nothing but a very healthy future ahead. The company's fundamentals are super good, with strong operational performance and a focus on organic growth. Despite analysts often giving conservative estimates throughout the year (possibly to avoid disappointments, but that can work both ways – they are regularly off the mark without good reason), the recent results show that HL has potential for significant upside. It seems that the existing mines can show growth of 5-8%, with even an extension of the expected lifespan (e.g., from an average of 14 years to 18 years at key assets like Greens Creek and Keno Hill). This is based on recent exploration successes, such as the high-grade expansions at Keno Hill (potential addition of 0.5 Moz silver next year) and Midas (gold discovery). Also, the new management policy to invest heavily in an expansion programme (about $100-150 million capex in 2025) looks very successful. This focuses mainly on organic expansions of existing assets, rather than completely new mines, which reduces risks and can have a quicker impact (see: Hecla Q3 2025 earnings call and IR-site). Furthermore, the higher grades (e.g., >10 oz/ton at Keno Hill, the highest among peers) naturally make the profit margins per ton more attractive. In Q3 2025, the AISC dropped to ~$12/oz Ag, which boosts margins with rising prices. What seems underappreciated is the Enterprise Value (EV) of HL. This is one of the lowest in the sector (end of Q3 2025 about ~$44 million per Moz silver reserves), compared to peers like First Majestic (~$126 million per Moz) or Coeur Mining (~$110 million per Moz) (see: Yahoo Finance and Hecla investor updates). This means that if investors (re)recognise this, the share has room to rise significantly – potentially to double – to catch up with competitors. And analysts keep hammering on that HL is mainly silver-oriented (almost 50% of Q3 revenue), but their gold production is significant and growing (almost 40% revenue, with potential +20-50 Koz per year from 2027 through Midas). With current prices, gold and base metals (lead/zinc ~15% revenue) still form an important part of the revenue and profit. Other factors, including a solid balance sheet with low debt (debt around $300 million, net leverage 0.3x) and lower geopolitical risk (mainly North American assets), contribute to a high-quality share (see: Hecla Q3 financials). If you then look at the Q3 results (record revenue over $400 million, (+35%); net income $100 million; EPS $0.15, cash flow $200 million), my estimates are that silver production will at least reach record heights and gold, after the predicted Q3 seasonal dip, will operate at Q2 levels (about 45 Koz) – and maybe even a bit better. Next, I expect the average Q4 Ag/Au prices to be around $54 / $4200 per oz (based on Oct/Nov trends and forecasts; see also LBMA/CIBC). With these assumptions, it wouldn't surprise me if revenue reaches more than $500 million, with net income perhaps as high as $150 million, an EPS heading towards $0.25, and a much larger cash flow than the $200 million from Q3. This is of course a bull-case scenario! Although the fundamentals are strong, there are risks: Price volatility in metals (e.g., a drop due to macroeconomic factors like recession), cost increases (capex up in 2025), permitting delays in expansions, and operational challenges (such as seasonal maintenance). Analysts remain conservative (avg EPS forecast whole 2025 ~$0.24-0.36), possibly to avoid disappointing, but this can miss upside if HL keeps outperforming. With this strong base, HL is an attractive share. My personal price target is $25 towards the annual figures on (now) 18 February 2026. That might be ambitious compared to analysts' consensus ($14.50 avg), but given the undervaluation and price rises, I see room for outperformance.
did edit but ain't possible :(, GL

Interesting

going up as long Trump is in office
HL will surprise coming months with imo an next EPS of about $0.20 and maybe for Q4 $0.30. All w/in range when silver continues for Q3 +/-$40 and Q4 +/- $50 averages. Stock prices related to that including several nice LT ratio's and situated in US/CA with positive sentiment cab go far beyond $20 coming months.
HL added to the S&P 600 today. Up 12%
After earnings will open above 6.25 resistance and run....
I plan to be selling at 6.60....but will take 6.35 if need be
Silver hits new 52 week high and HL remains asleep
