Technical:
Bottom of large consolidation, it looks like shorts are having a hard time pushing lower given the effort and result. looking for a 238 or 382 retrace to take some profits, 618 very probable. Looking for Low volume nodes as areas of resistance. as we cross these we can expect the stock to run until we find liquidity or less aggressive buyers.
Fundamental
In 2023, Hecla Mining Company (HL) reported a revenue increase to $720.2 million, buoyed by higher realized prices for silver and gold, marking a significant year with the second-highest silver production at 14.3 million ounces. Despite the revenue growth, the company faced a net loss of $84.8 million and navigated challenges including a decrease in gold production due to Casa Berardi's transition and negative free cash flow of $148.4 million, largely due to increased capital expenditures of $223.9 million in mine development and infrastructure. Nevertheless, HL maintained stable adjusted EBITDA at $212.6 million, reflecting resilience amid financial pressures.
