Equity Bottom-Up

Wheaton Precious Metals / Equity Bottom-Up

Wheaton’s (WPM’s) Q124 results exceeded both our and the market’s forecasts. It produced more (with the single exception of gold, which recorded a small negative variance in production) and sold more at higher prices than our prior expectations for the period. This led to a positive 5.6% (US$15.8m) variance in sales that was minimally counteracted by a US$0.8m negative variance in costs (including G&A costs) to result in a US$15.3m (10.3%) positive variance in pre-tax profits that, to all intents and purposes, fell straight through to the bottom line.

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.

Technical and Quantitative Research

Vermilion Research

Vermilion’s objective is to deliver timely, actionable, and unique technical research to professional investors through the application of our various technical indicators.

Our research strategists seek to highlight securities which we believe are at major inflection points, based on our various technical and quantitative indicators, and offer asymmetric risk/return profiles. Our unique research methodology, centered on relative strength, enables our strategists to deliver superior investment recommendations.

Our process begins by organizing the universe of actively traded stocks into discrete sectors, then into industry groups. We then apply our technical and quantitative tools to identify developing price trends. Once attractive trends are identified within a selected sector or group, we screen for individual stocks which we believe offer the best risk/reward profile. We provide a historical perspective that often reveals, through our long-term charts, how price patterns often repeat themselves over time.
