UBS analyst Daniel Major upgraded Wheaton Precious Metals (WPM) to Buy from Neutral with an unchanged price target of $160. The company is entering a volume growth phase that should drive “superior” earnings growth relative to peers without further upside in gold and silver prices, the analyst tells investors in a research note. UBS believes Wheaton shares are not reflecting the company’s “diversified/low-risk” organic growth. The 25% correction since the start of the Middle East conflict creates an attractive risk/reward, contends the firm.
