Wheaton Precious Metals — Refining forecasts

Wheaton’s (WPM’s) Q123 results are scheduled for 4 May. Ahead of their release, we have refined our forecasts to reflect, principally, a hiatus in mining the high-grade Pampacancha pit at Constancia, owing to regional road blockades (announced by Hudbay, on 30 March) and the suspension of production from the lower levels of the Stillwater West mine by Sibanye-Stillwater for around four weeks, following damage to shaft infrastructure during non-routine maintenance (announced on 13 March). We have also updated our estimates for actual cf forecast, precious metals prices.

Temporary production disruptions

Production from the Stillwater West mine (below 50 level) will be suspended until remediation is complete, resulting in c 25–30k fewer ounces of palladium and platinum production for the year. Access to the upper levels of the Stillwater West mine (above 50 level) and the Stillwater East mine have been unaffected, as have operations at East Boulder. In the meantime, mining of higher-grade ore at Pampacancha is now expected in Q223. Note: we have left our forecasts for Salobo unchanged after Vale’s Q1 production and sales report released on 18 April.

Precious metals prices continue to rise

In addition to our production refinements, we now assume that gold will remain at US$2,006/oz for the remainder of the year (cf US$1,868/oz previously), silver will remain at US$25.19/oz (cf 21.54/oz), palladium will remain at US$1,635/oz (cf US$1,462/oz) and cobalt will remain at US$15.84/lb (cf US$15.50/lb). As a consequence of our refinements, we have reduced our EPS forecast for Q123 by 6.3%, but increased it for FY23 by 13.9%.

Valuation: Cheaper than its peers 69% of the time

Using a capital asset pricing model (CAPM)-type method, whereby we discount cash flows at a nominal 9.0% per year, our ‘terminal’ valuation of WPM in FY26 is little changed at US$53.37 (C$71.40) per share, assuming zero subsequent long-term growth in real cash flows. Alternatively, assuming no purchases of additional streams (which we think unlikely), we calculate a value per share for WPM of US$54.58, or C$73.02 or £43.83 in FY26, based on a 30.4x historical multiple of contemporary earnings. In the meantime, WPM’s shares are trading on near-term financial ratios that are lower than those of its peers on 69% of common valuation measures if Edison forecasts are used or 61% if consensus forecasts are used. If WPM’s shares were instead to trade at the average level of its peers, we calculate that its FY23 share value would be US$56.60, or C$75.73 or £45.45 (based on Edison forecasts).

Q123 and FY23 forecast update

In the light of our refinements, we have updated our FY23 quarterly forecasts for WPM as follows:
