Silver Wheaton Corp. (USA) (SLW) Earnings: An Early Look

Page 2 of 2

Silver prices haven’t cooperated with Silver Wheaton lately. Even as the economic outlook has looked more favorable, iShares Silver Trust ((NYSEMKT:SLV) and other silver investments have lagged behind platinum and palladium, both of which are tied a bit more to industrial demand than silver is. Still, with mining stocks seeing cost pressures and other margin-squeezing factors, Silver Wheaton’s business model looks superior in the current environment.

In its quarterly report, watch for Silver Wheaton Corp. (USA) (NYSE:SLW) to talk in greater detail about its latest deal with Vale. As more big players become willing to make silver-streaming agreements, Silver Wheaton’s prospects only grow larger, no matter which direction silver prices move in the future.
