Factors Likely to Have Shaped WPM’s Q3 Performance
Wheaton Precious Metals projects an attributable production of 600,000-670,000 gold equivalent ounces (GEOs) for 2025. The mid-point of the range indicates a 10% year-over-year increase in production. This outlook reflects higher attributable production from Antamina, the start-up of several development projects (Blackwater, Goose, Mineral Park and Platreef) and a stable forecast for Salobo production. The company continues to forecast production from Mineral Park, Goose, Platreef and Aljustrel for the second half of 2025. This is expected to have been partially offset by lower production from Penasquito and Constancia.
Our model projects WPM’s total attributable production of 162,298 GEOs for the third quarter of 2025, indicating a 13.7% year-over-year increase. The production figure includes attributable gold production of 94,165 ounces of gold (an 8.5% year-over-year increase).
After a record-breaking fourth-quarter 2024, production levels at Salobo have been stable in the first quarter of 2025. It is expected to have been consistent year over year in the third quarter of 2025, with higher throughput levels, attributable to the Salobo III expansion project, anticipated to have been offset by lower gold grades. Our model projects an 11.5% year-over-year increase for the third quarter, attributable to gold production at 69,877 ounces.
Gold production at Sudbury is expected to be 31.8% higher year over year at 4,734 ounces. At Constancia, attributable gold production is projected to be 53.7% lower at 4,979.5 ounces due to decreased gold grades.
Our model projects WPM’s third-quarter gold sales volume of 93,965 ounces, indicating 24.1% year-over-year growth. Gold realized prices are expected to be $2,929 per ounce, suggesting a 17.6% year-over-year rise.
The company’s third-quarter 2025 total gold sales are projected at $275 million, implying a 46% year-over-year rise. Gold sales are expected to have contributed 60.3% to WPM’s total sales.
Our model projects 5.69 million ounces of total attributable silver production (up 25.4% year over year). A 49.3% year-over-year increase at Antamina and a 12.1% rise at Penasquito are expected to offset the 10.5% decline in Constancia.
Wheaton Precious Metals’ silver sales volume is expected to be 5.52 million ounces. Silver realized prices are expected to be $31.89 per ounce, suggesting 7.4% year-over-year growth. This is likely to lead to silver sales of $176 million, indicating a 52.9% year-over-year rise. Silver sales are expected to contribute 38.6% to the total sales.
Attributable production of palladium is projected at 1,643 ounces (down 59.3% year over year) while production for cobalt is expected at 360 thousand pounds (down 9.4%). Other metals’ production is projected at 2,469 GEOs for the third quarter.
Our model projects Wheaton Precious Metals to sell 159,520 GEOs in the third quarter, 30.5% higher than the prior-year quarter’s actual. Overall, the company’s third-quarter results are expected to reflect the gains of higher gold and silver prices.
