CIBC raised the firm's price target on Hecla Mining to $16.50 from $15 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares following the exploration update. Hecla previously transitioned its Nevada assets from production to exploration back in 2019 due to high costs and operational issues, but the recent results bring the potential to restart operations at significantly lower costs with existing infrastructure already in place, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason
Scotiabank analyst Eric Winmill resumed coverage of Hecla Mining with a Sector Perform rating and $15 price target. The U.S.-based silver producer's current valuation is at the high end of peers, but the firm sees upside potential driven by free cash flow generation, the advancement of non-producing assets such as Nevada toward production, and the successful realization of exploration potential, the analyst tells investors.
