Wheaton Precious Metals - Celebrating the Ides of March

Wheaton’s (WPM’s) Q4/FY23 results were released after the market close on 14 March, within the context of known metals sales and almost known production. Even so, net earnings were US$2.9m (or 1.8%) better than our prior forecast for the quarter, largely as a result of achieved metals prices that were higher than average market prices. Otherwise, the quarter was characterised by accelerated levels of investment into underlying mineral streams and the announcement of a new, progressive dividend policy.

Wheaton Precious Metals - Record quarterly cash flow

Wheaton Precious Metals’ (WPM’s) Q324 results, announced 7 November, showed a less than 1% variance for the quarter relative to our forecasts at the earnings level. Notably, however, three mines (Constancia, Stillwater and Voisey’s Bay) outperformed our expectations in terms of production but underperformed in terms of sales. This arguably sets up the potential for a rebound in Q4 when Wheaton’s streaming partners traditionally flush through sales ahead of the end of the financial year. Note that, at current metals prices, our EPS forecast for FY25 would be US$1.68 per share compared to the ba...

Wheaton Precious Metals - Salobo tasting sweet

Ahead of Wheaton’s scheduled Q3 results after the bell on Thursday 7 November, we have adjusted our earnings forecasts for the quarter to take account of generally higher precious metals prices, lower production and sales at Penasquito, Constancia and San Dimas, but higher production and sales at Salobo. Specifically, Vale’s announcement that Salobo produced 46.6kt of copper in Q3 implies gold production attributable to Wheaton of 65,019oz ±3,480oz (cf 54,750oz previously forecast). As a result, we have upgraded our forecast EPS for Q3 fractionally. However, we have upgraded our forecast for F...

Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

Downgrading Health Care to Underweight Our outlook remains bullish following the S&P 500's multi-month base breakout above 5670-5783, alongside constructive market dynamics. The market is quite clearly telling us that the path of least resistance is higher. We would treat any pre-election pullback (if it comes) as a buying opportunity, and we expect to see support on the SPX at 5760 and 5655-5670. The prior two election years (2016 and 2020) saw 5% and 10% pullbacks, respectfully, during September/October; this year's 10% pullback came a bit earlier (in July/August), and leads us to believe a...

Games Workshop Group - A notable acceleration in Q225

Games Workshop Group’s (GAW’s) H125 trading update suggests the company enjoyed a strong Q225 in both its core business (due to the launch of the fourth edition of Age of Sigmar midway through Q125) and licensing (due to the success of the Space Marine 2 video game). These are impressive in the context of the tough comparative from the prior year’s launch of the new edition of Warhammer 40K (40K) and the currency headwinds in the early part of H125. We upgrade our profit estimates for FY25 (by 7%) and FY26 (by 3%) to reflect the outperformance versus our prior expectations.

Altron - Further margin expansion in H125

Altron reported a 105% y-o-y increase in operating profit before capital items in H125, with margin expansion of 5.1pp to 9.8%. The Platforms businesses were particularly strong, with Netstar and FinTech achieving material revenue and profit growth. Altron Digital Business, still in the integration phase, saw some non-recurring costs and the shift of several project starts into H225, but has seen indications that performance should improve in FY26. Management raised its FY26 operating profit target, partly to reflect the inclusion of Altron Document Solutions (ADS) in continuing operations. We...
