Expert Comments:

Clive Maund, CliveMaund.com (2/5/19)

"Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.'s breakout from the pennant and subsequent advance has been on good volume that has driven the accumulation line higher, which is bullish. . .after the advance of recent weeks, this is a solidly bullish picture, especially as a 'golden cross' is imminent, a crossover of the 50- and 200-day moving averages, leading to the latter turning up, which will mark the start of a new bull market and should lead to upside acceleration."

Clive Maund, CliveMaund.com (1/18/19)

"This is considered to be a very strong [stock] picture for Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.; the company blasted higher in December out of a double bottom, gapping out of the base pattern on huge volume. When you see a move like this, it normally portends a vigorous bull market that takes the stock to much higher levels, and given the now positive outlook for the sector, this is an easy outcome to envisage."

"Whereas the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) had been seeking at least $265M from Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. in taxes, penalties and interest in relation to its reassessment for the 2005-10 tax years with subsequent years left open to similar reassessment, under the terms of the settlement the company will actually pay the CRA cash taxes of $5M for the 2011–17 tax years, $15M in deferred tax and $3–4M in interest. More importantly, the settlement creates a framework for both Wheaton and the CRA to assess tax in future years."

Gold once again surpassed silver as Wheaton's biggest sales contributor."

Brian MacArthur, Raymond James (11/15/18) "In Q3/18, Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. produced ~5.7 Moz silver and ~102 Koz gold, and adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.08.

	Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (11/14/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. exceeded our estimates on gold, silver and palladium deliveries, and management now expects to exceed the high end of its guidance range. During Q3/18, the company closed its $500M Stillwater stream acquisition, and Wheaton received its first gold and palladium deliveries."

Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (10/1/18) "We attended a site visit to the Stillwater mine with management of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. and Sibanye-Stillwater; overall, the project showed well, with management teams focused on the successful ramp-up of Blitz. Longer term, exploration looks promising, and the potential for further stream extension appears likely."

	Cosmos Chiu, CIBC World Markets (9/30/18) "The attributes of the Stillwater platinum group metals operation (operated by Sibanye-Stillwater) that could have a positive impact on Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.'s royalty stream are a low-cost operation with upside to both annual production and mine life; these were highlighted on our visit. More specifically, the current reserve is 24 years, while additional resources could add an additional greater than 50 years to the mine life."

Brian MacArthur, Raymond James (9/28/18) "We recently visited the Stillwater mining operations, on which Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. acquired a gold and palladium stream in July 2018. . .the Stillwater and East Boulder mines are among the highest grade and lowest cost platinum group metals mines in world. . .the Blitz mine is currently ramping up and should increase overall annual production from ~550 Koz today to ~850 Koz by 2022."

Brian MacArthur, Raymond James (9/27/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. has a high quality and diversified asset base, high-margin and scalable business model. While the company's Canada Revenue Agency dispute is still ongoing and not identical to Cameco's, we believe Cameco's favorable ruling could be a positive read-through for Wheaton."

	Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (9/27/18) "Following the decision made by the tax court of Canada, we believe this is a positive in the short term for Wheaton Precious Metals Corp., as investors read through to the company's Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) case, expected next fall. . .we continue to view Wheaton as one of the Top Picks in the streaming/royalty space based on a positive CRA resolution."

	Charles Gibson, Edison Investment Research (8/21/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.'s Q2/18 results were closely in line with our forecasts in terms of production, sales, prices and financial results, with better than expected performances at Salobo in particular. . .in addition to the normal course of its business, the company booked an exceptional profit in Q2/18, relating to the evolution of its silver purchase agreement at San Dimas into a precious metals purchase agreement."

Carey MacRury, Canaccord Genuity (8/15/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. reported Q2/18 adjusted earnings per share of $0.16, slightly ahead of consensus of $0.14. . .attributable silver production of 6,091 Koz beat our adjusted 5,638 Koz estimate. . .attributable silver production was bolstered by a stronger-than-expected Q2/18 at San Dimas, Antamina, Constancia and Neves-Corvo."

Ralph Profiti, Eight Capital (8/15/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.'s attributable silver and gold production through H1/18 are tracking at 60% and 46% of FY18 guidance, respectively. . .the company reiterated FY18 attributable gold and silver production guidance of 22.5 Moz and 355 Koz gold, respectively, and added palladium guidance of 10.4 Koz from the recent Stillwater stream acquisition."

Brian MacArthur, Raymond James (8/15/18) "In Q2/18, Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. produced ~6.1 Moz silver and ~85.3 Koz gold, and adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.16, slightly above consensus and our estimates of $0.14. During Q2/18, the company generated ~$135M in operating cash flow and completed the previously announced Voisey's Bay cobalt stream acquisition."

	Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (8/14/18) "During Q2/18, Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. completed the acquisition of the cobalt stream on Vale's Voisey's Bay mine. Subsequent to Q2/18E, the company also closed its gold-palladium stream on Sibanye-Stillwater's Stillwater and East Boulder mines."

	Charles Gibson, Edison Investment Research (7/24/18) "On July 16, Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. announced it had entered into an agreement with Sibanye to acquire 100% of the gold production plus a percentage of the palladium production from the Stillwater and East Boulder mines for an upfront cash consideration of $500M. On an underlying basis, we expect the transaction to add $0.04 (or about 5%) to the company's basic EPS per year over the 10 years from FY21 to FY30."

	Cosmos Chiu, CIBC World Markets (7/16/18) "From Sibanye-Stillwater at the Stillwater mine in Montana, Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. is acquiring a 4.5% (subject to decreases once thresholds reached) stream on palladium and a 100% stream on gold, subject to a cost of 18% of spot (increases to 22% once thresholds are met). For the first 10 years, this works out to 14.5 Koz gold and 29 Koz palladium."

Brian MacArthur, Raymond James (7/16/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. will receive 100% of gold production from Stillwater and initially receive 4.5% of palladium production from Stillwater. . .in exchange for a $500M upfront cash payment upon closing and ongoing payments equal to 18% of the spot gold price and spot palladium price. . .we view the transaction positively, given it provides the company with immediate cash flow, gold equivalent growth and exploration upside in a low jurisdictional risk area."

	Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (7/16/18) "Following the announced gold and palladium stream deal this morning for $500M with Sibanye-Stillwater, it's been a busy few weeks for Wheaton Precious Metals Corp., which just closed a cobalt stream with Vale. . .[the new stream] strengthens the company's growth profile, increases operator diversity and is mildly accretive to 2019 EPS and CFPS in the range of 1% to 4%, respectively."

Trefis (7/14/18) "Based upon Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.'s current agreements and forecasts for 2018, attributable sales are expected to total 20 Moz silver and 337 Koz gold. The company's estimated average annual production over the next five years is anticipated to be approximately 25 Moz silver equivalent, including 370 Koz gold."

	Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (6/29/18) "We are resuming coverage of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. with an Outperform rating and a $28 target price following the acquisition of a cobalt stream from Vale for $390M. . .Wheaton took a tempered approach toward acquiring the cobalt stream, balancing the potential to acquire the entire available cobalt stream while recognizing the need to maintain future byproduct exposure at reasonable levels."

	Charles Gibson, Edison Investment Research (6/21/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. announced that it had entered into an agreement with Vale to acquire 42.4% of cobalt production from Voisey's Bay from FY21 for an upfront cash consideration of $390M. We estimate that this acquisition will increase Wheaton's silver equivalent production by 3.1 Moz and 4.7 Moz and its basic EPS by $0.047 and $0.093 in FY21 and FY24, respectively."

Ralph Profiti, Eight Capital (6/12/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. announced the acquisition of a cobalt stream from Vale's Voisey's Bay mine. . .we estimate the Voisey's Bay stream to the company yields a 9% internal rate of return (IRR) at $35/lb cobalt, assuming a 20% tax rate, which compares to recent larger precious metals streams at 4–6% IRR."

Brian MacArthur, Raymond James (6/11/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. has agreed to acquire from Vale an amount of physical cobalt equal to a fixed percentage of cobalt production from the Voisey's Bay mine. . .we view the transaction positively given it provides Wheaton with medium- to long-term free cash flow, gold equivalent growth and is NAV accretive."

	Cosmos Chiu, CIBC World Markets (6/11/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. is making a relatively small and measured investment in the future cobalt production from Voisey's Bay by purchasing a stream, with the acquisition price of $390M representing 3.8% of its current market cap or 7% of its NAV. At spot cobalt, the stream could potentially generate $75M in cash flow per year (beginning in year 2021), and increase annual corporate cash flow by greater than 10%."

	Charles Gibson, Edison Investment Research (5/18/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.'s silver streams outperformed our expectations in Q1/18 while its gold streams performed closely in line. . .nevertheless, adjusted net earnings of $69.9M and EPS of $0.16 were within 10% of our previous expectations of $77M, and our forecasts for FY18 remain, to all intents and purposes, unchanged."

	Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (5/13/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. posted an in line Q1/18 and expects deliveries of 355 Koz gold and 22.5 Moz silver in 2018. Importantly, a Canadian Revenue Agency court date has been set for September 2019."

Carey MacRury, Canaccord Genuity (5/11/18) "We are assuming coverage of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. from Tony Lesiak with a Buy rating and CA$38.50 target price. Our Buy rating is based on our positive view on silver, projected 31% growth in gold equivalent ounces by 2020 (versus 2017) and a strong balance sheet with ~$779M in available liquidity for additional transactions."

Ralph Profiti, Eight Capital (5/11/18) "With the restructured agreement at San Dimas, Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. is now entitled to 25% of payable gold production plus gold equal to 25% of payable silver production converted at a fixed 70:1 gold:silver ratio. The company's 21M shares in First Majestic represent 11% of First Majestic (current market valuation: $193M)."

Brian MacArthur, Raymond James (5/11/18) "In Q1/18, Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. produced ~7.4 Moz silver and ~79.7 Koz gold and adjusted EPS came in at $0.16, essentially in line with consensus estimates. During the quarter, the company generated ~$128M in operating cash flow and repaid ~$107M in debt, ending Q1/18 with ~$116M in cash."

	Cosmos Chiu, CIBC World Markets (5/10/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. reported Q1/18 adjusted EPS of $0.16 and CFPS of $0.29. . .the company continues to offer a high-quality portfolio able to generate significant cash flow. We reiterate our Outperformer rating and $25 price target."

Trefis (4/11/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. currently has 14 silver purchase agreements and two precious metals agreements. . .based upon its current agreements and forecasts for 2018, attributable sales are expected to total 20 Moz silver and 337 Koz gold. The company's estimated average annual production over the next five years is anticipated to be approximately 25 Moz silver equivalent, including 370 Koz gold."

	Charles Gibson, Edison Investment Research (3/27/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.'s FY17 results were characterized by a record level of gold sales and of dividend payouts to shareholders. Results for Q4 were notable for the close correlation of production and sales, demonstrating the traditional ‘flush through’ effect in the final quarter of the year.. .additional potential upside still then exists in the form of the optionality provided by the development of major assets such as Pascua-Lama, etc."

Ralph Profiti, Eight Capital (3/22/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. reported Q4/17 adjusted EBITDA of $165M versus our estimate of $146M (consensus: $143M) and adjusted earnings per share of $0.19 versus our estimate of $0.16 (consensus: $0.16) on 13% higher silver equivalent sales (14.5 Moz versus our 12.9 Moz). . .attributable production of 7.2 Moz silver and 96 Koz gold compares to our 6.9 Moz (consensus: 7.2 Moz) and 79 Koz gold (consensus: 97 Koz)."

Brian MacArthur, Raymond James (3/22/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. produced 28.6 Moz silver and 355 Koz gold in FY17, exceeding guidance of 28 Moz silver and 340 Koz gold, respectively. . .the company generated over $165M in operating cash flow during Q4/17 and ended 2017 with $99M in cash and equivalents."

Brian MacArthur, Raymond James (2/23/18) "Given Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.'s high-quality and diversified asset base and high-margin and scalable business model, we rate its shares Outperform. We have updated our model to reflect updated production forecasts and reserve/resource estimates given by operators on some of the company's major royalties/streams, specifically Penasquito, Pascua-Lama, Antamina, 777 and Constancia; our target price is $25."

	Charles Gibson, Edison Investment Research (2/15/18) "We value the cash flows to Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. from San Dimas for the period FY18 to FY33 at $252.90, or $0.57/Wheaton share, once the First Majestic-Primero transaction concludes. . .we expect Wheaton to become a majority gold streaming company [there]. . .investors [are] in line for a 37.6% internal rate of return over three years."

Charles Gibson, Edison Investment Research (1/25/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.'s Q3/17 results were little changed compared to Q2/17. . .the San Dimas stream has been restructured after First Majestic's bid for Primero in early 2018. . .as at the time of its Q3/17 results, we forecast a value per share for Wheaton of $38.24, or CA$48.54, in FY20. . .Wheaton's shares are trading on near-term financial measures that are consistently cheaper than those of its royalty/streaming 'peers' and are cheaper than the miners themselves in 41% of cases, despite being associated with materially less risk."

Ralph Profiti, Eight Capital (1/15/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. has terminated the existing San Dimas silver purchase agreement with Primero Mining (100% of silver of first 6 Moz silver, 50% of excess thereafter) and will now receive 25% of gold equivalent production at a fixed gold:silver exchange ratio of 70:1. . .we value the new streaming agreement at $530M (new stream terms plus production upside plus value of First Majestic shares) versus $440M for the previous stream."

	Cosmos Chiu, CIBC World Markets (1/15/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. is restructuring its streaming agreement at San Dimas. . .this is positive news for the company, with the asset now in the hands of a stronger operator. . .the agreement is accretive to Wheaton's NAV by 2%. We are increasing our price target from $24 to $25 and reiterate our Outperformer rating."

Brian MacArthur, Raymond James (1/12/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. has agreed to enter into a new stream agreement with First Majestic and terminate the existing San Dimas silver stream. . .we believe the uncertainty on the San Dimas stream was weighing on the shares and this restructuring is a positive event. . .given the high-quality and diversified asset base, high-margin and scalable business model of the company, we rate its shares Outperform."

Trefis (1/2/18) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. currently has 14 silver purchase agreements and two precious metals agreements. . .based upon its current agreements and forecasts for 2018, attributable production is expected to total 28 Moz silver and 340 Koz gold.

	Charles Gibson, Edison Investment Research (11/30/17) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.'s shares are trading on near-term financial measures that are consistently cheaper than those of its royalty/streaming 'peers' and are cheaper than the miners themselves in 41% of cases, despite being associated with materially less risk. Among others, Pascua-Lama, Rosemont and Salobo expansion then offer additional upside."

Ralph Profiti, Eight Capital (11/16/17) "We are resuming coverage on Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. with a Buy. The company offers investors a high-margin play on precious metals exposure that should command a multiple more in line with royalty/streaming peer valuations and a premium to precious metals miners based on tax-efficient leverage to underlying gold and silver prices, high-quality asset exposure relative to the cost curve, tier one mining partnerships, low financing costs, project optionality (Pascua Lama, Rosemont and Salobo expansion) and a flexible dividend strategy."

BMO Capital Markets (11/14/17) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.'s Q3/17 deliveries of 95.9 Koz gold and 7.6 Moz silver were a beat relative to our expectation of 92.1 Koz gold and 6.9 Moz silver. . .the company could deliver a strong Q4/17 on increased sales as the miners delivering into their streams clear out concentrate inventories heading into year-end."

	Charles Gibson, Edison Investment Research (11/10/17) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.'s Q3/17 results were characterized by improvements in production relative to the previous quarter. . .once again, gold sales exceeded silver sales, in this case, in the ratio 52:48."

	Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (9/5/17) "We favor Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. on cash generation and liquidity. . .following the old adage that 'cash is king,' the company is king, generating +40% of total cash flow among its peer group annually. . .barring any future equity raises, it is one of two companies that have the most enviable liquidity positions to be able to transact on future opportunities."

	Charles Gibson, Edison Investment Research (8/30/17) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. announced that it had entered into a nonbinding agreement with Desert Star regarding an 'early deposit' arrangement over the Kutcho project. . .the company will advance $65M to Desert Star in return for the right to purchase 100% of the silver and gold production from Kutcho at 20% of the spot price of the two metals until 51 Koz Au and 5.6 Moz Ag have been delivered, at which point the stream will decrease to a 66.67% share for a term of the life of the mine."

	Ralph Aldis, U.S. Global Investors (7/11/17) "Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. is one of the three biggest and most successful royalty and streaming companies. When we had that downturn in the metal prices in 2015 and 2016, Silver Wheaton did very large royalties with some of the major miners that were producing gold as a byproduct. Those streams were in production and paying right then and there, so it immediately started getting returns on that. Wheaton Precious Metals has an issue with the Canadian Revenue Authority (CRA), which is trying to assess taxes on some of its offshore earnings. So, the company has somewhat been under a cloud. . .it has been in negotiation, and discovery, I believe, is finished now. But if the matter can get resolved favorably, and case law points to it might, Wheaton Precious Metals could have a very significant pop. I could see 20% in any single day if it gets this thing put to bed." read more >

	Charles Gibson, Edison Investment Research (4/27/17) "Silver Wheaton Corp.'s shares are trading on near-term financial measures that are cheaper than those of its royalty/streaming 'peers' in EPS 80% of instances considered, and the miners themselves in EPS 40%, despite being associated with materially less risk.

	Michael Gray, Macquarie Capital Markets (4/16/17) "We think Silver Wheaton Corp. shares benefit from the pending restart of San Dimas on the back of a reset of the union agreement that paves the way for two years of labor stability along with a more efficient operating approach. We reiterate our Outperform recommendation."

Charles Gibson, Edison Investment Research (3/29/17) "In Q4/16, sales and cash flows derived by Silver Wheaton Corp. from gold operations exceeded those from silver for the first time ever. . .to better reflect the company's increasingly gold-rich asset base, the board of directors has recommended that Silver Wheaton change its name to Wheaton Precious Metals Corp."

	Cosmos Chiu, CIBC World Markets (3/22/17) "Silver Wheaton Corp. has proposed a name change to Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.

	Andrew Kaip, BMO Capital Markets (3/7/17) "A member of our research team had the opportunity to attend an analyst and investor tour of Silver Wheaton Corp.'s Antamina mine on March 2. . .substantial mine life extension potential exists, certainly in the open pit, but longer term potentially as an underground operation. Further, the mine has considerable resources, with the potential to upgrade material and add additional ounces through exploration."

Michael Siperco, Macquarie Capital Markets (3/6/17) "We attended a site visit on March 1 to 3 to Silver Wheaton Corp.'s Antamina mine. . .we gained further comfort with the long-term upside to reserves, as well as the robustness of the mine and infrastructure (including the +300 km pipeline) in a challenging environment (+4,200m above sea level). . . there is ample potential for extension from existing Measured and Indicated and Inferred resources, as well as underground (block cave?) potential and district-wide (700 km sq) exploration upside."
