Where WPM is headed
Wheaton in 2028 looks less like a streamer and more like a precious metals royalty utility, throwing off well over $1.2 billion in free cash flow against essentially zero debt, with production growth of roughly 40% locked in from streams already signed (Goose, Platreef, Mineral Park, Marathon, Blackwater). Gold at $3,200+ and silver finally clearing $40 are doing the heavy lifting on the top line, but the more interesting shift is on the cost side. Wheaton's cash cost per gold-equivalent ounce sits around $450 versus an industry all-in sustaining cost pushing $1,800. That spread is the entire story.
