Wheaton Precious Metals is the world’s pre-eminent ostensibly precious metals streaming company, with over 30 high-quality precious metals streams and early deposit agreements over mines in Mexico, Canada, Brazil, Chile, the US, Argentina, Peru, Sweden, Greece, Portugal and Colombia.

Using a capital asset pricing model-type method, whereby we discount cash flows at a nominal 9% per year, our ‘terminal’ valuation of WPM in FY26 was calculated to be US$61.41 per share (in November), assuming zero subsequent long-term growth in real cash flows thereafter (which we think is unlikely), or US$50.28 currently. Alternatively, assuming no purchases of additional streams, we calculated a value per share for WPM of US$61.19 in FY26, based on a 30.4x average historical multiple of contemporary earnings.

Financials

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.
