Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 24 days.
The thesis — published May 8, 2026
Hudbay stands to gain if copper prices stay firm because recent company results showed record quarterly revenue, healthy adjusted earnings and lots of cash to fund projects. Outside research reinforced the story. The shares are already somewhat high and move with commodities, so the next 0-3 months look promising only if copper sentiment remains positive and the Arizona Sonoran deal does not distract operations.
Primary drivers
- Quarterly results showed record sales and stronger operations
- Large cash balance helps keep projects on track
- Direct exposure to copper benefits from positive metal prices
- Arizona Sonoran deal could add future growth opportunities
How it played out
HBM: target reached in 24 days

HBM reached the $29.50 target in 24 days. The shares peaked at $32.14 on June 2, above the target, with a 28.6% peak gain. They ended the window at $26.31. The thesis played out, although the price gave back much of its peak gain before the window closed.
