Precious Metals Streaming & Royalties

Strategic Profile

Wheaton has rights to buy troves of gold and silver from mines around the world at discounts of up to 82%. The company expected these streams to produce 600,000 to 670,000 gold equivalent ounces (GEOs) in 2025, with production expected to grow to 870,000 GEOs by 2029 and to an average of 950,000 GEOs annually from 2030 to 2034. The company's streams produce significant cash flow, which Wheaton uses to invest in new ones and pay a sustainable and progressive dividend.

Cyborg Score Rationale

CIBC lifted its gold price assumptions to $6,000 per ounce in 2026 and $6,500 in 2027, with demand drivers that supported the sector in 2025 remaining intact heading into 2026, though geopolitical uncertainty remains a backdrop. Wheaton was named to Corporate Knights' 2026 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations list for the third consecutive year. Recent leadership transition and strong analyst upgrades support forward momentum.
