Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (NYSE: WPM) (TSX: WPM) reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $772 million, a 62% increase from $476 million in the prior-year period, according to the company's latest financial results. The strong top-line growth was accompanied by a 12% rise in net earnings to $410 million, or $0.90 per share, while adjusted net earnings climbed 46% to $410 million. Operating cash flow surged 68% to $645 million, driven primarily by higher gross margins. For the first nine months of 2026, Wheaton posted record revenue of $2.6 billion, net earnings of $1.5 billion, and operating cash flow of $2.1 billion.
Attributable gold equivalent production increased 13% year over year to approximately 231,000 ounces, supported by the expanded silver stream at Antamina and contributions from additional operating assets. The company maintained its 2026 production guidance of 860,000 to 940,000 gold equivalent ounces and reaffirmed its forecast of approximately 1.2 million ounces annually by 2030. These figures underscore Wheaton's ability to generate consistent growth through its streaming model, which provides leverage to commodity prices with lower risk than traditional mining.
The quarter also featured several development milestones across Wheaton's portfolio, including the first gold pour at the Koné project, initial deliveries from Platreef, and construction approval for Copper World. These advancements signal progress in expanding the company's asset base and future production capacity. Wheaton ended the quarter with $146 million in cash and $1.6 billion in outstanding debt, having repaid $372 million under its revolving credit facility during the period.
