Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 49 days.
The thesis — published October 10, 2025
Hecla looks like a short-term opportunity. The recent average price is turning up and there are signs that lots more people are buying than usual. News on 10-09 showed shares near highs as silver and gold hit records. On 10-07 it joined the S&P SmallCap 600, which can trigger automatic buying from investment funds. With metals strong and company updates positive, we prefer staged buys targeting a return to recent highs in about three months.
Primary drivers
- Record-high silver and gold prices can boost profits from each ounce
- Joining a major small-cap index can draw automatic fund buying pressure
- Recent price action hints buyers are stepping in after a pullback
- Progress at Libby could add future production and more ways to grow
