Hecla Mining Co (NYSE:HL) is the largest primary silver producer in the U.S. It is the oldest NYSE-listed precious mining company.

The stock is up significantly so far in 2025 after operations resumed in its Lucky Friday mine in January after a 2023 fire. This is expected to contribute considerably this year and stabilize output.

Moreover, Q3 2024 silver output rose 3% year-over-year to 3.6 million oz, with full-year 2024 guidance at over 15 million oz. Keno Hill grew its throughput by 29% in Q3 2024.

Hecla now aims for 20 million oz/year of silver production by 2026, along with $25 million in annual exploration investments.

The consensus price target of $7.94 implies 37.92% upside.

HL stock is up 17.31% year-to-date.
