Analysis
Wheaton reported a record Q2 2026, with revenue of $ 929,201, net earnings of $ 543,236, and cash generated from operating activities of $ 649,518. Revenue increased 84.7% from Q2 2025, while net earnings increased 85.9% and gross margin increased 94.8%. The primary reported drivers were a 61.3% increase in average price per GEO sold to $ 4,443 and 14.4% growth in GEO sales to 209,115.
Silver was the largest revenue contributor at $ 478,758, ahead of gold sales of $ 427,785. Silver represented 52% of Q2 revenue, while gold represented 46%. The BHP Antamina PMPA was a major operational contributor: Wheaton’s Antamina silver production increased 56% year over year after its share of Antamina silver production increased from 33.75% to 67.5%, effective April 1, 2026. Growth from Fenix, Hemlo, Goose, resumed production at Aljustrel, and the commencement of production at Mineral Park also supported the production profile.
Margins expanded as realized prices increased. Q2 gross margin was $ 687,856, compared with $ 353,047 in Q2 2025, and cash operating margin was $ 810,358, compared with $ 429,058. Average cash costs were $568 per GEO, compared with $406 in Q2 2025, but the Company reported cash operating margin of $3,875 per GEO sold, an increase of 65%. Higher gross margin was also the stated principal reason that Q2 operating cash flow rose by $235 million year over year.
The quarter also materially changed the balance sheet through investments and debt funding for the BHP Antamina PMPA and other mineral-stream interests. Cash and cash equivalents were $ 100,192 at June 30, 2026, compared with $ 1,153,593 at December 31, 2025, while bank debt was $ 1,969,282 and net debt was $ 1,869,090. The Company made $ (4,474,029) of Q2 investments in mineral stream interests, drew $ 2,700,000 of bank debt, and repaid $ (728,000). Available liquidity was reported at $2.6 billion after the revolving credit facility was increased to $2.5 billion.
Wheaton maintained its 2026 production outlook of approximately 860,000 to 940,000 GEOs and its longer-term outlook for annual production to increase by approximately 50% to 1,200,000 GEOs by 2030. Execution at ramping and development assets is central to that outlook. Specific milestones include Platreef commercial production expected in Q4 2026, Fenix commercial production anticipated in Q4 2026, Mineral Park ramping during the second half of 2026, Blackwater Phase 1A commissioning in Q4 2026, and Koné first gold pour targeted in late Q4 2026. Offsetting operational items include lower grades at Salobo, lower grades and recoveries at Peñasquito, and lower gold production at Constancia following the completion of mining at Pampacancha.
