WPM posts a record Q1 operating cash flow, as higher margins and production growth support its outlook and long-term cash flow targets.
Wheaton Precious Metals (WPM) has an impressive earnings surprise history and currently possesses the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely beat in its next quarterly report.
Wheaton Precious Metals is upgraded to Buy after a 26% stock decline creates an attractive entry point. WPM maintains strong fundamentals, which significantly support the buy rating. These include a robust production outlook, lending to an upgraded earnings, and forward P/E well below its five-year average. There's the risk of gold price assumptions being too ambitious but even at current levels, but the positives are now overwhelmingly stacked in WPM's favor anyway.
Wheaton Precious Metals faced valuation compression after silver's recent price drop and a poorly timed deal with a 3% IRR at $70/oz. With silver under $60/oz, speculative excess has dissipated, and WPM's stock price now reflects the negative IRR of its recent acquisition. We see a cautious buying opportunity for WPM as its price-to-sales ratio approaches the attractive 10x threshold, despite recent setbacks.

Wheaton Precious Metals delivered a standout Q1, with revenue up 91.6% and margins expanding sharply on robust gold and silver prices.

Despite a 12% share price pullback, WPM's premium valuation is justified by superior growth, profitability, and minimal debt; I rate it Buy with a $159 target (10.5% upside).
