Signia Capital Management Richard Beaven, Colin Kelly | “We took the opportunity to exit our position in Hudbay Minerals (HBM) during the first half of 2026. We initially purchased Hudbay in January of 2024 in the $5 range. Primarily a copper and gold producer with operations in Peru and Canada, we believed the organic growth profile for HBM coupled with the development and de-risking of the company's Copper World asset in Arizona provided a number of catalysts. Over the past two years, Hudbay's management team has executed exceptionally well on cost control and operational efficiency across its mine portfolio. Additionally, a robust pricing environment for both base and precious metals served as a strong tailwind, enabling the company to deliver substantial earnings growth and free cash flow generation. Having reached our internal valuation targets, we exited the position in the $21-$23 range.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Jul 30, 2026 | View Pitch |
L1 Capital Long Short Fund Mark Landau and Raphael Lamm | “Hudbay Minerals (Long +15%) shares rose over the quarter alongside a 9.7% rise in the copper price, supported by powerful growth drivers from demand for electrification, AI and defence. Despite stronger prices, copper supply remains constrained, with weak Chilean production, mine disruptions in Indonesia and the DRC, and higher sulfuric acid costs related to the Middle East conflict. During the quarter, Hudbay completed its all-share acquisition of Arizona Sonoran, where L1 had been a large shareholder. Post the transaction, Hudbay will own one of the largest growing copper districts in North America, a highly strategic asset base. Continued global supply tightness in copper underpins our positive medium-term sector outlook, which we believe the company is well placed to benefit from.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Jul 28, 2026 | View Pitch |
L1 Capital Long Short Fund Mark Landau and Raphael Lamm | “Hudbay Minerals (Long +46%) shares rose over the quarter as copper prices moved higher (+2%), most notably in September with Freeport's Grasberg mine suspending production following a mudslide. With 3% of global copper supply offline, disruptions compounded other production issues worldwide. In August, Hudbay announced a US$600m strategic investment from Mitsubishi Corporation in exchange for a 30% interest in its Copper World project in Arizona, expected to deliver 85ktpa of U.S. copper by the end of the decade, increasing total production by more than 50%. The transaction was done at a premium to consensus asset valuations, highlighting the strategic importance of domestic supply. Hudbay remains attractive due to its diversified production base, strong cash flow generation, and well-structured capital allocation strategy. BSD Analysis: The manager views Hudbay as a key mid-cap copper play with near-term cash flow catalysts and long-term U.S. supply leverage. The Mitsubishi partnership validates asset quality while de-risking funding. With copper deficits forecasted by 2026 and Hudbay trading below NAV (~5x EV/EBITDA), upside potential remains strong.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Sep 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
