In a challenging market environment, Hudbay Minerals Inc . (NYSE:HBM) stock has touched a 52-week low, reaching a price level of $6.41 USD.

The 52-week low serves as a critical point for Hudbay Minerals, as market participants consider the company’s ability to rebound from these levels amidst the current economic conditions.

In other recent news, HudBay Minerals (TSX:HBM) reported a strong quarterly performance, exceeding market expectations. The company achieved a cash flow per share of $0.59, surpassing the projected $0.53 per share, alongside a record quarterly free cash flow of $149 million. Gold production also exceeded estimates, with HudBay delivering 94,000 ounces compared to the expected 80,000 ounces. Despite these positive results, the market reacted to HudBay’s 2025 guidance, which indicated lower copper and gold outputs than consensus estimates, primarily due to reduced production expectations from the Pampacancha project in Peru.

Stifel analysts have maintained their Buy rating on HudBay Minerals, with a price target of Cdn$16.50, citing the company’s strong performance and improved balance sheet. They noted that HudBay is trading at a price to cash flow multiple below its peers and suggested that a return to the average multiple could imply a stock price of C$12.50 per share. Stifel highlighted HudBay’s improved leverage ratio of 0.6 times, which they see as a positive development for the company’s growth prospects. They also anticipate a potential partnership announcement for the Copper World project in the coming months and recommend buying HudBay shares during this period of weakness.
