Hecla Mining Company is rated a Buy, driven by projected silver market deficits and rising prices through 2026. HL expects 15.1–16.5 million ounces in 2026 silver production, leveraging low-risk North American mines with strong free cash flow. Revenue is projected to surpass $1.886 billion in 2026, with net income and margins expanding as leverage falls to 0.4x.
The recent divestiture of the Casa Berardi gold mine transforms Hecla Mining into a tier-one, pure-play silver producer, setting the stage for a structural valuation premium. Management has a deleveraging strategy, paying down $500 million in debt and extinguishing its 2028 Senior Notes—removing refinancing risk and fortifying the company against macroeconomic credit. Hecla's operations are anchored in the safest global mining jurisdictions, highlighted by Greens Creek's negative All-In Sustaining Cost and driving a record $310.2 million in FCF.
HL boosts shareholder returns with strong cash flow, rising dividends and sharp debt reduction, while funding growth through disciplined reinvestment.
