Key Stories Impacting Wheaton Precious Metals

Here are the key news stories impacting Wheaton Precious Metals this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Zacks Research upgraded WPM from a “hold” to a “strong-buy” and materially raised near‑term and multi‑year EPS forecasts — including lifts to Q1 2026, several quarterly 2026–2027 estimates and FY2026/FY2027 (FY2026 to ~$3.25 from ~$3.01; FY2027 to ~$3.26 from ~$3.04). This signals analysts expect stronger cash flow/earnings ahead and is a constructive fundamental read on the company. Zacks Research Note
• Neutral Sentiment: Although the Zacks notes are positive, none of the supplied items explain the intraday share weakness. That suggests the price decline is likely being driven by other, non‑covered factors (examples to check: moves in silver/gold/commodity prices, sector rotation or broader market weakness, profit‑taking after the recent run‑up, or short‑term technical/volume dynamics). These drivers are not mentioned in the Zacks releases provided.
