WPM Delivers Record Revenues in 2025: Can the Rally Continue?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
WPM reported record $2.3B revenues in 2025, up 80.2% y/y, driven by higher prices and output.
Wheaton Precious Metals' production rose 8.6% to 689,864 GEOs, beating guidance on strong mine performance.
WPM sees 30.5% production growth in 2026, with new assets and Antamina boosting output outlook.
Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (WPM - Free Report) reported record revenues of $2.3 billion for 2025, marking a 80.2% year-over-year surge. This includes record revenues of around $865 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. The impressive performance was driven by higher average realized gold equivalent prices and increased production levels.
Wheaton Precious Metals’ 2025 gold equivalent production came in at 689,864 ounces, marking an 8.6% year-over-year increase and surpassing the company’s guidance of 600,000-670,000 ounces. A major driver of this growth was the solid performance at Salobo due to higher gold grades. Recoveries, higher throughput and grades at Peñasquito, and higher grades at Constancia offset the impacts of lower production from Goose and Mineral Park.
WPM expects 2026 production of 860,000-940,000 GEOs, marking a year-over-year increase of 30.5% at the mid-point. Along with higher gold and silver prices, the upside will be driven by 70,000 GEOs at Antamina. Newly operating assets like Blackwater, Mineral Park, Fenix, Hemlo, Goose and Platreef will also aid growth. This will be somewhat offset by lower production from Constancia post the depletion of the Pampacancha pit in late December 2025.
Wheaton Precious Metals expects production to increase 50% to 1,200,000 GEOs by 2030, driven by growth from operating assets. The company maintains attributable production from 2031 to 2035 at 1,200,000 GEOs annually, incorporating additional incremental production from pre-development assets. Higher production is expected to lead to revenue growth in the upcoming years as well.

AngloGold Ashanti PLC (AU - Free Report) delivered a 16% year-over-year increase in gold production in 2025.

Gold revenues surged 71.5% to $9.73 billion in 2025.
AngloGold Ashanti’s gold production for 2026 is projected at 2.80-3.17 million ounces. This suggests a year-over-year dip of 3% at mid-point.
