On August 31, Wheaton Precious Metals fell 3.23% in regular trading, trading at $148.47/share, with turnover of approximately $39.30 million. The decline came amid continued weakness across the precious metals sector.

On the news front, spot gold recently broke below the $4,600/oz level, while rising long-end U.S. Treasury yields and escalating expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike have weighed heavily on the precious metals space. Within the Gold sector, broad-based selling persisted, with Coeur Mining down 3.90%, Agnico Eagle Mines down 2.48%, Newmont Mining down 2.40%, Barrick Mining down 2.28%, and Gold Fields down 1.09%.

Adding to the pressure, the company's most recently reported Q2 earnings showed adjusted EPS of $1.19, missing the consensus estimate of $1.23 by 3.25%, while revenue of $929.2 million also fell short of the $947.7 million estimate. Despite representing an 88.89% year-over-year increase in EPS, the miss against expectations may have amplified selling pressure amid the broader sector downturn.

Wheaton Precious Metals is a precious metals streaming company headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, generating revenue primarily through purchase agreements with global mines for gold, silver, palladium, and cobalt.
