HudBay Minerals (HBM) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.22 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.4 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.18 per share a year ago.
Micron is upgraded to Strong Buy, driven by underappreciated operational levers beyond the widely recognized AI demand and HBM supply constraints. Management is pointing output to high-margin segments, notably HBM and data centers, and is structurally expanding gross margins, supporting further upside. Capex is becoming more productive, with capex as % of revenue down, free cash flow margins are near 30%, and CHIPS incentives are reducing the cash cost of new fabs.
HudBay Minerals gears up for Q4 results with earnings seen soaring 122% as higher revenues, cost cuts and gold strength shape the outlook.
Nvidia Corporation's data center segment growth, driven by hyperscaler capex, underpins a higher revenue and EBITDA forecast, supporting the bullish thesis. NVDA's supply chain is well-positioned, with secured HBM4 allocations and multi-year reservations for advanced nodes and CoWoS capacity at TSMC. Key supply risks, including HBM and foundry price hikes, are acknowledged but expected to have limited impact on NVDA's near-term growth outlook.
