National Bank of Canada reiterated its outperform rating and $17.00 price target following the earnings release.
The bank said Hudbay's rating is supported by stronger operational results to close out the year, leverage to gold prices, an improving near-term growth outlook through expansion initiatives, upcoming catalysts at the Copper World project, and a discounted valuation.
