A share price tends to move through four phases: moving sideways (stage 1), rising (stage 2), stalling near a high (stage 3) and falling (stage 4). Today Hecla Mining Company is in stage 1. The phase helps read everything below.

This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row.

Hecla Mining Company paid $0.01 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.00 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $14.95 that is a yield of 0.07%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast.

A dividend is cash paid out for each share. The 12-month total is the four most recent quarters added together.

Hecla Mining is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list.

Hecla Mining Company earned $118 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter. Full-year FY25 profit was $321 M. Over 4 years profit has grown 74.6% a year on average. That is 35.3% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $27.7 M. 4 of the last 8 reported quarters were loss-making.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

For the full year, FY25 profit was $321 M (+811.1% on the year before).

Hecla Mining Company reported $334 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter. Over 4 years it has grown 15.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $1.4 B.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

The quarterly figures for FY25 do not add up to the full-year total on file, so those quarters are left out of the charts and sums.

FY25 revenue was $1.4 B, +53.0% on the year before.

Hecla Mining Company's operating margin was 44.3% in the Jun 2026 quarter. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 5 years it has been between 3.6% and 37.3%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period.

Operating margin is what is left from every $100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Across 5 years it has been between 3.6% and 37.3%, and FY25's 37.3% is the highest of them.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +31.9 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +22.1 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged.

When margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so watch whether they hold.

Over the last 3 years, 256% of Hecla Mining Company's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $563 M of operating cash against $321 M of profit. After $252 M of spending on assets, $310 M was left over as free cash.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason.

What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Hecla Mining Company does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $691 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 16.2% of FY25 revenue a year.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Spending on assets: $691 M over the last 3 years.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

Hecla Mining Company's P/E is 26.5×, with too little history to compare. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar of yearly profit.

Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +763.0% while the price moved +7.7%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range.

In short: there is too little history to say whether the multiple is high or low for this company, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple.

Hecla Mining Company's business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 6 quarters of 1 measure, with some gaps.

Every business is somewhere on a path of getting better or worse, and this section names where. The last 12 quarters of growth in revenue, profit and earnings per share, plus the return the business earns on its capital, are read as lines. Getting worse: the lines are falling. Turning around: a low point has just formed and the last few quarters are rising from it. Getting better: the rise from the low has lasted. Growing steadily: steady growth with healthy returns. Slowing from a peak: still high, but slowing. When the lines disagree the result is mixed; too little history means no reading. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the latest one. It is the fairest way to compare growth over different periods. If the 1-year figure is much bigger than the 10-year one, recent growth is running faster than the long-run trend. A dash means there is no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss, where a growth rate means nothing.

Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction.

The latest quarter’s profit includes a one-off item bigger than the normal business, so the profit line is shown but does not count in this reading.

The return figures here are yearly, not quarterly. They show level and direction only; they can support the growth lines but never decide the reading alone.

There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history.

Compound annual growth rate (%)

Compound annual growth rate over each period, %. Revenue, profit and EPS come from yearly figures; the stock price row is price growth over the same periods. A dash means no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss.

Hecla Mining Company earned a ROE of 12% in FY25. That is up from a low of −4% in FY23. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 16.7 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 22.6% net margin and 0.40× asset turnover (sales divided by assets).

Return on equity (ROE) is the profit the business earns on its shareholders’ money. We do not have the full capital split, so ROE is the longest history we can draw here.

Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 22.6% net margin × 0.40× asset turnover × 1.37× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 12.4% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed.

The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 28.9% − 12.2% = +16.7 percentage points. The 12.2% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. A gap this wide means each dollar put back into the business creates more than a dollar of value.

The 28.9% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 13.9%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method.

Hecla Mining Company has total debt of $21.5 M against shareholder equity of $2.7 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.01× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.30 in FY21 to 0.11 in FY25. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money.

Debt-to-equity shows how much of the business is paid for with borrowed money. Lower is safer, and the direction matters as much as the level.

5.6% of Hecla Mining Company's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 1.0 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead.

There is no quarter-by-quarter list of owners here, so we look at short interest: the share of tradable shares held in short positions, which gain if the price falls.

It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history.

Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who has the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story.

For Hecla Mining Company, the Z-score is 14.02. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is well clear of danger. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure.

The Z-score estimates how far a company is from balance-sheet trouble. Above about 3 is safe; below about 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not used for banks and lenders.

Why it matters: a Z-score of 14.02 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here.
