Hecla Mining’s revenue in 2025 reached $1.33 billion, marking a 43% increase year-over-year, with earnings per share rising to $0.38 from $0.06. This growth is attributed to favourable silver and gold prices and improved operations across its mining assets. However, analysts are cautious, with price targets averaging $11.14, suggesting potential downsides from current levels.<\/p>\n
For 2026, Hecla is expected to further increase revenue to $1.55 billion, with EPS anticipated to more than double to $0.79. Despite the potential for pressure on its stock, the firm\u2019s fundamentals appear strong. There is a positive outlook if commodity markets stabilise, keeping an eye on the $15\u2013$17 range as a pivot for future momentum.<\/p>\n
In December, Hecla’s price saw a minor high without hitting its target zone, concluding wave (3) at 16.14, followed by a correction. Buying was suggested between 12.30 and 10.74, finishing wave (4) and looking toward new highs in wave (5). A rally pushed the price to the 17.85\u201318.25 range, starting another correction, and the current price is around 18.88. <\/p>\n
The trading system executed three trades in three months, proving profitable for those holding positions, illustrating that discipline is as important as a trading system.<\/p>\n
Given the strong performance of Hecla Mining (HL) throughout 2025, we see the current price of $18.88 as a continuation of bullish momentum. This rally is supported by impressive fundamental growth, including a 43% year-over-year revenue increase and a significant surge in earnings per share. For derivative traders, this upward trend suggests that call options are the primary instrument to consider in the near term.<\/p>\n
To add to this view, we’ve seen silver futures for March 2026 delivery recently push past the $35 per ounce mark, a level not sustained since the commodity boom back in the early 2010s. This macroeconomic tailwind directly supports Hecla’s revenue projections for 2026, lending credibility to the stock’s ongoing strength. Historically, we have observed that Hecla’s stock shows high correlation with silver price movements, making this a critical factor.<\/p>\n
With the analysis pointing to a new wave of upward movement, traders could look at buying call options with February 2026 expiration dates to allow time for the trend to develop. Strike prices around $20 or $21 may offer a balance of risk and reward, capitalizing on the expectation of further gains. This strategy aligns with the pattern of a strong rally following the completion of the corrective wave at $12.00 earlier in the year.<\/p>\n
However, discipline requires managing risk, and the recent breakout zone of $17.85\u2013$18.25 now serves as a key support level to watch. A decisive drop back below this area would be the first sign that the bullish momentum is weakening. In such a scenario, traders might consider purchasing protective puts or reducing their long exposure to safeguard profits.<\/p>\n
