What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (€8.74). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (65/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- A fairly wide model range (€4.53 to €8.74) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis
Hecla Mining Co. (HCL) currently trades at €17.98, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €7.00, implying the stock looks roughly 156.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 65/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of €9.32 per share, and 0 of the 26 models we run sit above the €17.98 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at €2.59, and 26 of the 26 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, Hecla Mining Co. generated revenue of €1.6B at a net margin of 16.8%. Revenue grew 100.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 19.9%. Net debt stands at €57.1M. Fundamentals as of Aug 28, 2026
Our scenario range runs from €4.53 (bear case) to €8.74 (bull case); at €17.98, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 38% below its 52-week high and 294% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at −50% fair-value upside, at −61%, HCL screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly €0.4059 per share, which is 5.8 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (€9.32) versus Dividend Discount (€0.2300). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (78).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 63 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 62
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
