# Weekly Recap | Wheaton Precious -0.55%, most brokers rate it buy

## The Week

Wheaton Precious (WPM) slipped 0.55% this week to $154.12, faring slightly better than the S&P 500, which fell 0.8% over the same period. The week shaped up as a rally and fade: Tuesday opened at $154.540, Wednesday peaked at $160.990, Thursday slid to $150.335, and Friday recovered modestly to $154.12. Weekly range was 6.89%. Average daily volume came to roughly 1.44 million shares, about 21.1% below the prior median.

## Key Events

This week’s news flow centred on two themes. First, analyst and fund attention: a new buy rating appeared Monday, and several pieces framed WPM as a name built for a weaker dollar, with Friday’s headline pointing to gold miners luring funds and the stock trading near a buy point. Second, project progress: Salazar provided an update on mine construction at the El Domo project. There was no company earnings release or major regulatory development this week, with most market commentary driven by gold-sector sentiment and fund flows.

## Analyst Ratings

Coverage comes from 17 institutions, with 11 buy ratings, 5 overweight ratings, and 1 no-opinion; none rate it hold, underweight, or sell. The consensus rating is strong buy, and the consensus target sits at $177.611, about 15.24% above the latest price of $154.12. The target range spans from a low of $153.000 to a high of $224.110, showing wide dispersion among analysts on longer-term upside. Within the gold industry, WPM ranks fifth out of 49 names by composite rating.

## The Week Ahead

Next week brings a heavy US macro calendar. The New York Fed manufacturing index lands on 15 September, with a prior reading of 20.6 and a forecast of 14.75. On 16 September, several releases follow: retail sales ex-autos, import prices, retail control, headline retail sales, the NAHB housing market index, and EIA crude inventories. For WPM itself, the next key earnings date is 5 November after the close, covering the third quarter of fiscal 2026, with estimates of about $1.2104 in EPS and $923 million in revenue.

## In Short

WPM finished the week slightly lower but outperformed the broader market, holding near its 20-day moving average of $151.274 and well above the 60-day average of $127.238. Analyst positioning looks constructive, with the consensus target above spot, although the wide target range signals mixed conviction on the magnitude of upside. On the latest trading day, large and medium orders were net buyers while small orders were net sellers. The next test is how gold and the dollar feed through gold-sector sentiment, and whether the November earnings report supports the current valuation of about 34x earnings.
