TORONTO, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rockcliffe Capital is pleased to announce today the initiation of equity research coverage on Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (TSX/NYSE: WPM) , the world's premier precious metals streaming company known for its top-tier asset portfolio, strong balance sheet, and robust cash flow generation.

Following extensive operational and fundamental analysis, Rockcliffe Capital’s research team highlights Wheaton’s unique position in the global metals streaming sector, underpinned by a low- risk, high-return growth model and industry-leading margins.

“Wheaton delivers record financial results with exceptionally clean leverage and a rich growth runway,” said Felix Gelt, Managing Director of Research at Rockcliffe Capital. “The Q1 beat — driven by $470 M in revenue, $254 M net earnings, and $361 M operating cash flow — underscores the strength of its streaming model and disciplined approach to capital deployment.”

Investment Thesis Highlights:

Record Q1 2025 Performance: Revenue: $470 M, +59% YoY

Net Earnings: $254 M, +55% YoY

Operating Cash Flow: $361 M, +64% YoY

Balance Sheet Powerhouse:

$1.1 B in cash, zero debt, undrawn $2 B revolving credit facility

Allows flexibility for bolt-on streams, dividends, and share buybacks

High-Quality Assets & Growth Pipeline:

Streams on 18 producing mines and 28 development projects

Notable operational drivers: Salobo, Blackwater’s commercial production, plus Goose, Platreef, and Mineral Park all slated online by 2025 year-end

Dividend Resilience:

Q1 dividend of US$0.165/share declared

Solid FCF supports steady distribution to shareholders

ESG Leadership: MSCI AAA, Sustainalytics top-rated, named to Corporate Knights’ Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations

Valuation & Target: Rockcliffe Capital’s internal base-case scenario supports a 12-month share price target of US$155 , reflecting 2026 estimated valuation multiples of 18–20× forward earnings and 12–14× EV/FCF. This view reflects Wheaton’s forecast margin expansion, low capital intensity, and a strong path to cash accretion from its next wave of producing assets.

Risk Factors:

Commodity Price Pressure: A significant gold or silver price correction (>10%) may compress margins and valuations.

Project Execution Risk: Slippages at development-stage assets could dent growth expectations.

Regulatory/Operational: Political risk in jurisdictions like Peru or Mexico could impact production timelines.
