Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Materials: fringe margins under pressure (0q confirmed)
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.

View ValuationThis stock is highly volatile — it swings about 2% on a typical day and fell roughly 58% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskHL's silver production growth must keep compounding to justify the price. Revenue growth is the primary pillar under pressure. The Q3 2026 earnings beat consensus by 46.7%. HL trades at 18x earnings versus a 16x peer median. The market is pricing in more growth than we forecast. Silver prices have fallen to about $60 per ounce. The thesis comparison is not yet verified. Peer multiples imply a price about 34% below where it trades. The thesis is on watch. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-11-04. HL is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
