Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 16 days.
The thesis — published September 30, 2025
Hecla swings more than the market and is riding strong silver and gold interest. The recent average price looks firm and there is lots more buying than usual, but the company's basics are not strong and the price has run up fast. HL joined the S&P SmallCap 600 on 9-25 and rose 6.5 percent in a week and 37 percent in a month, likely helped by automatic buying from investment funds. Consider buying only on dips and keep loss limits tight.
Primary drivers
- Rising gold interest plus the stock's recent addition to a major small-cap index
- Strong recent average price and far more trading activity than usual
- Optimistic mood around the stock while the business results remain soft
- Shares often move more than metal prices, boosting both gains and losses
