HL HECLA MINING CO/DE/ Insider Trading

VP-Exploration Allen Kurt sold 52,219 shares at $21.91 avg for $1.1M, reducing holdings 68.7%

Allen Kurt, VP-Exploration at Hecla Mining, executed 2 separate sales totaling 52,219 shares for $1,144,008.70 on 2026-01-06, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 23,774 shares from 75,993 shares—a 68.7% reduction in position size. The shares sold at a blended average price of $21.91, just below the current price of $22.27 and at the 52-week high of $22.27. This represents a material reduction in insider holdings by a VP-level executive at a company with strong recent fundamentals (29.1% annual revenue growth, $100.7M net income in latest quarter) and price momentum (+31.2% over 30 days, +66.9% over 90 days). The magnitude and concentration of the sale warrants attention to whether this reflects portfolio rebalancing or a shift in the executive's stake in the business.

Sr. VP/GC David C Sienko sold 207,553 shares of HL at $19.42 for $4.0M, reducing stake by -92.7%

David C Sienko, serving as Sr. VP, General Counsel & Secretary, executed a substantial sale of 207,553 shares at $19.42, liquidating -92.7% of his pre-transaction holdings from 223,840 shares down to 16,287 shares. The $4,030,679.26 transaction occurred at a price just slightly below the current $19.67 level and near the 52-week high of $19.67, with stock momentum positive over 30-day (+39.4%) and 90-day (+79.5%) periods. For context, the company reported $409.5M in revenue and $100.7M net income in its latest quarter, with annual revenue growth of +29.1% and elevated valuation at P/E 65.57 ($13.2B market cap). The near-complete reduction in personal holdings by a senior officer—retaining only 16.3K shares—is a material change in insider ownership structure that investors should monitor for its implications on executive confidence and capital allocation priorities.

Sr. VP & CAO Clary sells 75,000 HL shares at $20.30; holdings drop 82.2% to 16.2K shares

Michael L. Clary, Sr. VP & CAO, executed a substantial open-market sale of 75,000 shares at $20.30 on 2025-12-19, reducing his position from 91,207 shares to 16,207 shares—a net reduction of 82.2% of pre-transaction holdings. This represents a significant diminishment of executive ownership in Hecla Mining at a price near the 52-week high of $19.67. The current P/E of 65.57 and the stock's 79.5% 90-day appreciation suggest the company trades at a premium valuation following strong recent momentum; the sale occurs within this elevated price environment. The scale of the reduction—leaving the Sr. VP & CAO with minimal direct equity stake—is notable given the executive's position of responsibility and the context of strong FY revenue growth of 29.1% and a net income of $100.7M in the latest quarter.

CFO Russell Douglas sells 166,907 shares of HL for $2,503,975.70 across 2 transactions on 2025-11-10

Russell Douglas, Sr. VP & CFO of Hecla Mining, executed 2 separate sales totaling 166,907 shares (166.9K shares) for $2,503,975.70 at a blended average price of $15.00 on 2025-11-10, reducing his holdings by 32.5% from 514,309 shares to 347,402 shares post-transaction. The stock is currently trading at $15.53, near its 52-week high, and has appreciated 102.7% over the past 90 days and 15.2% over the past 30 days. The company's fundamentals show strong recent performance with $409.5M in latest quarterly revenue, $100.7M in net income, and 29.1% annual revenue growth, though the P/E ratio of 51.77 reflects a relatively elevated valuation relative to earnings. The timing of this substantial reduction in the CFO's position coincides with the stock trading at or near its 52-week highs, following a sharp recent appreciation.

Hecla Mining director Boggs purchases 20,000 shares at $4.99, raising stake to 348.2K shares amid 35% decline from 52-week high.

Director Catherine J Boggs acquired 20,000 shares at $4.99 on 2025-05-07, increasing her holdings by 6.1% to 348,169 shares. The purchase occurred when HL is trading 35.2% below its 52-week high of $7.53 and 30-day momentum is modestly positive at +2.1%, though the stock is down 18.8% over 90 days. The company's fundamentals remain robust with annual revenue growth of 29.1%, net income of $28.9M, and market cap of $3.1B, though the elevated P/E of 44.36 reflects elevated valuation expectations. The purchase occurs at a depressed price point relative to recent highs, during a period of intermediate-term weakness, which may be noteworthy as a data point but should be evaluated in context of the director's broader transaction history.

CEO Robert Krcmarov buys 14,867 HL shares at $4.72; holdings now 346,453 shares post-transaction.

CEO Robert Krcmarov purchased 14,867 shares of Hecla Mining at $4.72 on 2025-05-06, increasing his holdings to 346,453 shares. The transaction occurred at a price 4.4% higher than the 30-day average but 34.5% below the 52-week high, reflecting a period of stock weakness. Krcmarov's cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior buy with an average 30-day return of +8.9%, and his single prior transaction at HL on 2025-02-19 returned +8.9% over 30 days, though the company's stock has declined 17.1% over 90 days from the filing date. The company shows strong fundamentals with net income of $28,872,000.00 and annual revenue growth of +29.1%, though the P/E multiple of 44.82 is elevated relative to sector peers.

HL CEO Robert Krcmarov buys 6,570 shares ($34.8K) at $5.29; stock down 4.7% in 30 days, 30.7% from 52-week high

CEO Robert Krcmarov purchased 6,570 shares (6.6K shares) of Hecla Mining at $5.29 on 2025-02-19, increasing his holdings from 325,286 to 331,856 shares—a modest 2.0% increase in his position. The buy occurred against a backdrop of recent price weakness: the stock trades at $5.22 (current price), down 4.7% over the past 30 days and 30.7% below its 52-week high of $7.53. While the company shows strong revenue growth of +29.1% year-over-year and achieved $245.1M in latest-quarter revenue, profitability remains thin at $1.8M net income, reflected in an elevated 32.62 P/E ratio. The transaction represents open-market accumulation by the CEO in a depressed price environment, though the absolute position size relative to his existing 325.3K-share holding suggests an incremental rather than aggressive move.

VP-Operations Aguiar Rodriguez purchased 5 shares of HL at $6.76 on 2024-10-02.

Aguiar Rodriguez, VP-Operations at Hecla Mining, purchased 5 shares at $6.76, increasing holdings from 5,364 to 5,369 shares—a net change of purchased 5 shares (+0.1% vs pre-transaction holdings). The transaction is minimal in absolute terms, representing a total value of $33.78 and adding only 5 shares to an existing 5.4K-share position. Against the broader context, Hecla's stock has risen 23.0% over the past 30 days and 27.0% over 90 days, currently trading at $6.63 (down 7.7% from its 52-week high of $7.18). While the company reported positive quarterly net income of $27.9M on revenue of $245.7M, it was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, indicating cyclical or operational challenges. The small share purchase does not provide sufficient weight to draw meaningful insight into executive sentiment or conviction.
