Wheaton Precious Metals’ (WPM’s) Q3 adjusted EPS was 6.6% above Edison’s expectations and 1.6% above the market consensus (source: LSEG Data & Analytics, 6 November), with operational results from Sudbury, Blackwater, Marmato, Antamina, Stillwater (for palladium) and Voisey’s Bay ahead of our forecasts. Production also beat our forecasts for Constancia and Penasquito although sales lagged. For the third quarter in succession, net earnings achieved a record level. The main reason for the outperformance was a positive variance in Salobo’s sales. Whereas we had expected sales to undershoot production by 25.0% (or 18,624oz), in the event they only undershot by 16.8% (11,229oz). As a result, gold inventories rose by 3,852oz less than expected to only 3.31 months of production (cf 3.45 months forecast). Aggregate costs were also well controlled ( US$4.1m better than our forecasts). Together with a lower tax charge, these drove a US$17.5m (6.6%) positive variance in underlying net earnings and contributed to the upgrading of our FY25 adjusted net EPS forecast by 4.0c/share (1.5%). Note that, at current metals prices, our FY26 EPS estimate more than doubles from that shown below to US$3.70/share.

Wheaton Precious Metals’ (WPM’s) Q325 financial results are scheduled for release on 6 November. Ahead of the announcement however, we already have production numbers from Salobo, Sudbury, Voisey’s Bay, San Dimas, Zinkgruvan, Neves-Corvo, Blackwater and Penasquito. We have updated our forecasts to reflect this data. After two quarters in which sales have outperformed production and inventory has been drawn down, we suspect that this trend will now reverse in Q3 before balance is restored in Q4. While we forecast that production will be modestly higher in Q3 therefore, we forecast that gold equivalent sales will be 14.1% lower. Consequently, we have reduced our Q3 EPS forecast by 5.7c/share. However, we have increased our FY25 EPS forecast by 8.9c/share to reflect recent moves in precious metals prices. Note that our FY26 adjusted EPS estimate (below) is based on very conservative gold and silver prices of US$2,105/oz and US$24.33/oz, respectively. At prevailing metals prices, it rises by 142.2% from the US$1.54/share shown to US$3.73/share (see Exhibit 17).

Wheaton Precious Metals — Hunting Actaeon

On 10 September, Wheaton (WPM) announced that it had committed to contribute to Carcetti Capital’s financing of its acquisition of the Hemlo mine from Barrick in the form of a US$400m gold stream (c 39% of Carcetti’s total funding requirement). At the current gold price of US$3,650/oz, we calculate a 9.2% pre-tax internal rate of return (IRR) to Wheaton from its investment in Hemlo. At Edison’s more conservative, longer-term gold prices, we forecast that Hemlo will contribute an average of 0.9c/share to Wheaton’s EPS per annum, over the official 14-year life of the mine, and that it will contribute an average of 7.2c to Wheaton’s operational cash flow per share. At the same time, we have increased our Q325 EPS estimate by 4.4% and our FY25 EPS estimate by 5.7% to reflect recent strength in precious metals prices. Note that, at these levels, our FY26 EPS estimate rises from the US$1.44/share shown below to US$3.15/share.
