Here are the key news stories impacting Wheaton Precious Metals this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Zacks Research boosted multiple near‑term EPS estimates for WPM (Q1–Q4 2026 and Q1–Q4 2027) and raised FY2026 and FY2027 EPS to $4.43, reflecting firmer expected earnings momentum across upcoming quarters. MarketBeat WPM
• Neutral Sentiment: The upgrades are broad-based (Zacks lifted estimates for Q1–Q4 2026, Q1–Q4 2027 and several individual quarters), which reduces the risk that the changes are due to a one‑off item; however, Zacks’ note also references differing consensus figures (the wider market consensus cited in the report remains lower for some periods). MarketBeat WPM
• Negative Sentiment: Despite the positive revisions, shares may be under pressure given high valuation and recent price gains — WPM sits near its 1‑year high with a P/E around 93 and a large market cap, which can prompt profit‑taking or raise expectations that already-high earnings must be sustained.
