New trading tool for HL bullsHecla Mining shares climbed as investors focused on record free cash flow and EBITDA, the elimination of long‑term debt, and the company ending the quarter with net cash on the balance sheet. The miner also reaffirmed its 2026 silver production targets and nearly doubled exploration spending to $55 million while reviewing low‑cost growth projects.
Despite the strong operational news, H.C. Wainwright trimmed its price target following the sale of the Casa Berardi mine, reflecting a leaner asset base. The firm also flagged a new regulatory risk, which may temper some of the recent optimism even as the stock continues to gain on the company’s improved financial strength.
