Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Covered by reported results. In FY2025, HL's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 3%, free-cash-flow payout 3%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payout3% dividends / net income
- Free-cash-flow payout3% dividends / (operating cash flow − capex)
Coverage derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures for FY2025 (dividends paid vs. net income and free cash flow, same fiscal year). This describes PAST coverage for one fiscal year — it does not predict whether a dividend will be maintained, raised, or cut, and a one-year payout ratio can be distorted by non-recurring items.

How Hecla Mining looks technically
Hecla Mining (HL) is trading 21.1% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 83 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. A strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 31, with sellers in control. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 34, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). It made a new 20-day low about 5 trading days ago. It is 56.0% below its highest point of the past year.
Trend

| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 21.1% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -21.1% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $18.42 | $18.42 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $19.04 | $19.04 |
| Swing structure | its recent peaks and dips disagree — one of them is rising while the other is not, so there is no clean up or down pattern in the swings | mixed — one of the two is not confirming |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing high 28 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 28 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a completed three-part upward correction — a pullback in the A-B-C shape Elliott-wave chartists use; the labelling fails if price closes above 19.29. It is the only labelling that fits, though not with textbook proportions, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. | possible three-wave upward correction, complete (atypical proportions) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 83 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal | 83 sessions |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | a strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 31, with sellers in control | 30.6 |
Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 34, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 33.7 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the bottom of its 14-day range ($14.64 to $17.43) — its "stochastic" reading is 14 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been slipping within that range over the last few sessions. | 13.6 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, is in negative territory (momentum leaning bearish) | 35 sessions |
Range

| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day high about 38 trading days ago | 38 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $34.17 (set on 2026-01-26) | $34.17 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($11.97 to $31.81), and it has given back almost all of its rise from last year’s low — 85% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $18.91 to $19.55. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 84.6% |
| From the all-time high | it is 56.0% below its all-time high | -56.0% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 7.8% above a support level at $13.85 — a price it turned at twice since 2026-06-11, most recently on 2026-08-03. Since 2024-10-21 it has 9 such levels below the current price and 7 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -7.8% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $0.99 (set on 2008-11-13) | $0.99 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 1417.2% above its all-time low | +1,417% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 59th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.8104 between its high and its low — about 5.4% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $0.8104 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $14.66 and $18.63 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $14.66 – $16.65 – $18.63 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 5.4% in a typical session — about typical for the companies we cover. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 5.4% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 5.0 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (21.1% below it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 5.0 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-20 0.6% below the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and traded back through that level before the close | -0.6% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 3.5% below the previous close 4 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 16.18 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | -3.5% |
| Gap filled | a 2.7% gap up opened on 2026-10-15 has been "filled" 3 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 3 sessions ago |
Price streaks

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 1 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bullish state: near the bottom of its 14-day range (oversold) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 6 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a "death cross" — its 50-day average is below its 200-day, trading below its 200-day average, MACD momentum is negative, a strong downtrend, with sellers in control, lagging the market over 6 months, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 6 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 15% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-14 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established downtrend, with the band above acting as the level that would have to be cleared. The band itself is thick, spanning 12.2% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that has held for a while and takes effort to cross. | -15.3% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 20% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $18.85 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 198 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -20.3% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 18% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-04 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $18.23 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 55 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -17.6% |
Price levels it has turned at before
HL last closed at $15.02 on 2026-10-20. Since 2024-10-21 it has turned at 9 prices below its last close and 7 above; the 3 nearest below and the 3 nearest above are listed, nearest first.

A level is a price this company reversed or paused at more than once — they describe past behaviour, not a forecast of where the price will go.
Wave structure
Its recent swings can be read as a three-part upward correction — the A-B-C shape chartists use for a pullback — now complete.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes above $19.29.
It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones. It was chosen from 3 labellings that survived the rules, counting shorter readings of the same bars.
This reading has stood for 16 trading days, since 2026-09-29.

- Newer filing adds a 'Growth Pipeline' section discussing a proposed pyrite concentrate circuit at Greens Creek with potential additional silver and gold production.
- Newer filing adds detail that the pyrite concentrate circuit is being evaluated to recover additional silver and gold currently reporting to tailings, with potential production timing possibly as soon as late 2027 or first half of 2028.
- Removed:
- Older filing includes 'First Quarter 2026 Highlights' section with Q1 2026 metrics including 3.9 million ounces of silver, 12,886 ounces of gold at Greens Creek, surface cooling project 81% complete, sales of $411.4 million, net income of $164.7 million, and capital investments of $39.3 million.
- Reworded:
- Older filing describes Hecla as 'a leading silver multi-asset mining company' in a Q1 highlight; newer filing uses 'our position as North America's premier silver producer' in the year-to-date highlights.
- Older filing says Casa Berardi sale proceeds were used for debt reduction '[s]ubsequent to March 31, 2026'; newer filing states 'We used the cash proceeds from the transaction' without the subsequent-to phrasing, reflecting later timing.
- Older filing says beginning 'with this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2026' the Casa Berardi operation is no longer a reportable segment; newer filing says beginning 'in the first quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2026'.
- Newer filing refers to 'Item 2 MD&A'; older filing refers to 'Item 2 (MD&A)'.
- Older filing describes the Orezone set-off right as applying to 'the Deferred Contingent Cash or the Contingent Cash Consideration payments'; newer filing says the set-off right applies to 'the Deferred Cash Consideration payments' only.
- Older filing describes the set-off right excess estimate as included in fair values of 'the Deferred Cash consideration and Contingent Cash Consideration for the first gold-priced payment'; newer filing states the excess has been included in determining the fair value of the Deferred Cash Consideration only.
- Older filing provides detail on working capital adjustment receivables including '$15.6 million was received during April and the remaining $1.0 million is expected to be received in May'; newer filing removes that post-closing receipt detail.
- Older filing describes gold production at Greens Creek as decreased 'driven primarily by lower throughput'; newer Q2 description says 'driven by lower throughput and grades'.
- Older filing includes Q1 2026 continuous improvement detail on Keno Hill gross profit; newer filing omits that Q1 continuous improvement discussion, replacing Q1 highlights with Q2 highlights.
- Notes:
- Both documents contain apparent OCR/spacing artifacts such as O verview and Discuss ion; these were not treated as factual changes.
- Newer filing's Growth Pipeline section appears truncated at 'subject to significant technical, economic,' preventing full comparison of that newly added section's complete text.
Risk Factors
- Added:
- The newer filing (2026-08-04) reports reconciliations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, while the older filing (2026-05-05) reported only the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
- The newer filing includes new data tables for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 with figures such as Costs applicable to sales, by-product credits, ounces produced, and non-GAAP cost per ounce measures for Greens Creek, Lucky Friday, Keno Hill, Corporate, Other, and Total Silver and Other.
- The newer filing's Keno Hill column header is labeled "Keno Hill (4)" in both of its tables, whereas the older filing similarly labels it "Keno Hill (4)" but the newer tables cover different periods.
- Removed:
- The older filing's tables for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, including Total cost of sales, Depreciation depletion and amortization, Treatment costs, Change in product inventory, and associated non-GAAP figures, are not present in the newer filing.
- Reworded:
- The newer filing says reconciliation is between 'costs applicable to sales' and the non-GAAP measures, while the older filing says reconciliation is between 'total cost of sales' and the non-GAAP measures.
- The newer filing says 'such as cost of goods sold' while the older filing says 'such as cost of goods sold' (no change detected in that sentence).
- The newer filing uses 'develop, and sustain' while the older filing uses 'develop and sustain' (added comma).
- The newer filing uses 'versus those of our competitors' while the older filing uses 'versus those of our competitors' (no change detected).
- The newer filing uses 'varying geologic, metallurgical, and operating characteristics' while the older filing uses 'varying geologic, metallurgical and operating characteristics' (added comma).
- The newer filing uses 'include all direct and indirect operating cash costs' while the older filing uses 'include all direct and indirect operating cash costs' (no change detected).
- The newer filing uses 'general and administrative expense, and sustaining capital costs' while the older filing uses 'general and administrative expense and sustaining capital costs' (added comma).
- The newer filing uses 'Corporate (2)' and 'Other (3)' in its table columns while the older filing uses 'Corporate (2)' and 'Other (3)' (no change detected).
- The newer filing labels its three-month period as 'Three Months Ended June 30, 2026' and 'Three Months Ended June 30, 2025', while the older filing labels the same table positions as 'Three Months Ended March 31, 2026' and 'Three Months Ended March 31, 2025'.
- The newer filing's first table has a column labeled 'Other (3)' for both periods, while the older filing's first table has 'Other (3)' in 2026 and 'Other' without the footnote marker in 2025.
- Notes:
- The section labeled 'Risk Factors' in both filings primarily contains non-GAAP reconciliation tables and discussion rather than risk factor text.
- The newer filing text is truncated at the end of the younger period table for AISC, After By-product Credits, per Ounce, so full comparison of all tables is not possible.
- Only the text provided in the two source excerpts was used; no other portions of the filings were reviewed.

reported quarterly holdings change (2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30): 0 new, 4 increased, 2 decreased, 0 exited. Change counts cover only managers that filed 13F reports in BOTH quarters, derived between two quarter-end snapshots — not same-day trades; a single manager is never said to have "bought" or "sold".
Institutional holdings are quarter-end long positions reported on SEC Form 13F-HR, filed up to 45 days after the quarter ends — they are delayed, are not real-time trades, exclude short positions and most non-US securities, and are not investment advice. Any increase/decrease is a reported change between two quarterly snapshots, not a same-day purchase or sale. These are quarter-end snapshots from the 13F filings on SEC EDGAR, filed within 45 days — not real-time, and any change is a difference between two quarterly reports, not a same-day trade. Informational only — not financial advice.

- Reported short interest (shares) 37,500,751

- Prior settlement (shares) 35,961,624
- Reported change 4.28%
- Days to cover (reported) 1
Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-30 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
