Record earnings and growth plans offset by silver price plunge

Record Q2 and H1 revenue Wheaton reported record Q2 revenue of $929 million, up 85%, and record first-half revenue of $1.8 billion, up 88%, beating analyst estimates. The company reaffirmed its 2026 guidance and set a target of 1.2 million gold-equivalent ounces by 2030.
This is the core positive financial result that drove investor confidence during the quarter.
Analyst bullishness and gold hedge appeal JPMorgan named Wheaton a gold hedge and forecast gold above $5,000 per ounce, while Bank of America said gold stocks are undervalued. The streaming model also protects against inflation, making the stock attractive in uncertain times.
Analyst endorsements and the inflation-hedge narrative supported the stock price.
Growth pipeline and copper expansion The Salobo expansion and potential copper-financing deals, roughly one Antamina-sized deal annually, support future growth. These initiatives could add significant new streams and diversify revenue beyond gold and silver.
Future growth prospects contributed to positive investor sentiment.
Silver price collapse pressures revenue Silver prices have halved from January's peak to about $58 per ounce, directly cutting silver stream revenue and pressuring future earnings. This decline partially offsets the strong financial results and growth outlook.
The sharp drop in silver prices is a major headwind that weighed on the stock.

Wheaton rides record revenue, gold surge and copper-financing role

JPMorgan sees gold at $5,000, names Wheaton a hedge JPMorgan forecast gold above $5,000 an ounce by late 2026 and flagged Wheaton as a way to hold gold. Higher gold prices lift the value of every ounce Wheaton sells, so its profit and share price tend to rise with gold.
Explains the demand-side force pushing WPM up.
Salobo expansion approved, Wheaton pays $40M milestones Vale approved a project adding about 30,000 tonnes of copper and 15,000 ounces of gold a year at Salobo, starting a year early. Wheaton's $40 million milestone payments replace future stream payments, cutting its cash outlay while securing more output.
New mine growth directly tied to Wheaton's streaming assets.
Streamers seen filling $250 billion copper gap Wheaton's CEO said it could do roughly one Antamina-sized deal a year for three to four years, backed by about $2.7 billion annual cash flow. That positions Wheaton as a go-to financier for copper miners, supporting future growth.
Shows a new growth pipeline beyond existing mines.
Record $1.8 billion first-half revenue, guidance reaffirmed Wheaton posted record first-half 2026 revenue of $1.8 billion, up 88%, on higher gold-equivalent prices and production, and kept its 2026 guidance of 860,000-940,000 ounces. Strong results and a clear growth path to 1.2 million ounces by 2030 support the shares.
The period's core company result confirming the growth story.

Wheaton's record Q2 and growth plan drive value despite silver slump

Record Q2 results beat expectations Wheaton reported record quarterly revenue of $929 million, up 85% from last year, with earnings per share of $1.19 beating estimates. Strong silver sales, up 189%, drove the beat. This shows the company's ability to generate cash even as metal prices fluctuate, supporting the stock.
This is the most recent and direct news on WPM's financial performance, a key driver of its stock price.
Streaming model provides inflation shield and growth Wheaton's streaming model locks in low purchase prices for gold and silver, protecting it from rising mining costs. The company targets 50% production growth by 2030 to 1.2 million gold equivalent ounces, with projects like Salobo III and Blackwater. This growth plan is a major reason analysts are bullish.
It explains the structural advantage and future growth that underpin the investment case, beyond quarterly results.
Silver price halves from January peak Silver has fallen to about $58 per ounce, half its January peak of over $115. This directly reduces Wheaton's revenue from silver streams, as seen in lower realized prices. While the company still beat estimates, the price drop is a headwind for future earnings.
It highlights a key risk factor that could pressure WPM's stock if silver prices remain low.
Gold stocks undervalued, long-term demand strong Bank of America says gold stocks are cheap, pricing gold at a 19% discount to spot. Central banks expect to increase gold reserves, supporting long-term demand. This suggests Wheaton, as a gold and silver streamer, could benefit from a re-rating if gold prices stay high.
It provides a broader market context that could lift WPM's valuation, even if not company-specific.

Allied Gold pivots from Zijin takeover to funded growth as Kurmuk nears first gold

Zijin takeover scrapped, replaced by US$295M strategic investment Allied Gold ended its C$44-per-share takeover by Zijin Gold, but secured a US$295 million investment from Zijin at C$32.55 a share — a premium to market. That cash funds the Kurmuk mine, Sadiola expansion and CDI growth, so the company stays independent and funded.
This is the period's biggest change: the deal that defined AAUC for months is gone, replaced by a new funding source that keeps growth plans alive.
Kurmuk mine moves from construction to production Kurmuk energized its 88-km power line and fed first ore to the crusher, with first gold expected soon. The mine should produce 240,000–270,000 ounces in its first full year, a major step up in output that supports future revenue and cash flow.
Kurmuk is the main growth engine; its commissioning is the clearest new operational milestone driving AAUC's value.
Q2 output solid, but revenue misses estimates Q2 production of 97,429 ounces kept Allied on track for full-year guidance, with strong margins (gold near $4,380/oz vs costs below $2,200/oz). But revenue of $366.2 million missed analyst estimates by $57.8 million, a reminder that results can disappoint even in a strong gold market.
It gives the fair counterweight: operational progress is real, but the quarter's revenue fell short of expectations.
Shareholders back board as company shifts to growth mode At the annual meeting, shareholders approved all items, including 10 directors and KPMG as auditor. With the Zijin takeover off the table, management now focuses on advancing Kurmuk and other projects, aiming to build Allied into a mature mid-tier gold producer.
It shows governance stability and a clear strategic direction after the deal termination, supporting investor confidence.
