This company's announcement earlier this week was leaps and bounds above all the Wall Street expectations, writes MoneyShow's Jim Jubak, also of Jubak's Picks.
The stock market liked what it heard Wednesday, August 7, from Thompson Creek Metals (TC) after the close in New York. Second quarter adjusted net earnings of 8 cents a share crushed the Wall Street consensus of a penny a share. Revenue climbed 3.8% to $117.8 million versus expectations for revenue of just $1.3.8 million. The company also said that its new Mt. Milligan mine is on schedule with a start-up for the concentrator expected this month, with first ore-feed by mid-August. The company said it expects commercial production to begin in the fourth quarter of 2013, with production ramping to full capacity over the next twelve months.
All this is certainly good news for a miner that looked like it might run out of cash before it got the Mt. Milligan mine into production. The shares were up 13.6% yesterday on the news, as of 3:00 pm New York time. Thompson Creek Metals is a member of my long-term Jubak Picks 50 portfolio.
