HudBay Minerals (HBM) News Today

HudBay Minerals Inc (NYSE: HBM) — Analyst activity is driving today’s move: several firms have raised multi-quarter and multi-year EPS forecasts, while one cut a near-term quarter. Below are the items most likely to move the stock and why investors should care.

• Positive Sentiment: Stifel Canada raised its FY2025 view and lifted forecasts across 2026–2029, materially increasing medium‑ and long‑term EPS expectations — this supports a higher valuation multiple and signals stronger future cash flow assumptions. Stifel Canada lifts FY2025
• Positive Sentiment: Haywood Securities raised its FY2025 and Q4‑2025 EPS estimates (FY2025 to $0.90, Q4 to $0.26), reinforcing the view that near‑term earnings will be stronger than prior forecasts. That upgrade tends to be supportive for the stock. Haywood raises FY2025
• Neutral Sentiment: Market commentary (Zacks) notes recent outperformance and reiterates bullish drivers — useful context for momentum traders but adds no new company‑specific data. Zacks market note
• Negative Sentiment: Stifel Canada trimmed its Q3‑2025 EPS estimate sharply (to $0.05 from $0.19), indicating potential near‑term operational or price pressures; this cut could weigh on short‑term sentiment despite longer‑term upgrades. Stifel reduces Q3‑2025

Bottom line for investors: analyst upgrades to FY2025+ and multi‑year EPS materially improve the company’s earnings trajectory and explain the stock’s upside bias today, but the notable Q3 cut is a near‑term risk. Watch upcoming quarterly results, commodity prices (copper/zinc), and guidance for confirmation before increasing exposure.
