Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 61 days.
The thesis — published September 28, 2025
Hecla is a very jumpy metals stock. Gold prices near records and steady buying by central banks help. H.C. Wainwright kept a Buy rating as the company focuses on higher-return projects and paying down debt. The price looks like it may be turning up, even though some momentum signs are still weak. With softer company numbers, favor buying dips and small losses. If gold stays strong, a 3 month snapback is possible.
Primary drivers
- Gold near record highs and central bank buying support metal prices
- Buy rating; focus on higher-return projects and paying down debt
- Hints of a turn higher in price, with upbeat mood among traders
- Very volatile stock, so keep position size and loss limits tight
