Significance 4/10

10% Owner Sprott Eric bought 100,000 shares of HYMC at $37.84 on 2026-04-24; stock now $38.12, down -31.6% from 52-week high of $55.74.

Sprott Eric, a 10% owner, purchased 100,000 shares at $37.84 for $3,784,000.00 on 2026-04-24, increasing holdings from 37.30M to 37.40M shares. The stock is currently trading at $38.12, a modest +0.7% gain from the purchase price, but is severely depressed at -31.6% below the 52-week high of $55.74. His same-ticker history at HYMC shows a challenging pattern: prior buys on 2026-02-20, 2026-03-04, and 2026-03-05 returned -28.7%, -24.3%, and -11.8% over 30 days respectively, with none of the measurable periods showing positive 90-day returns. The company's fundamentals are distressed: zero revenue in the latest quarter, a $-9,376,000.00 net loss, and -100.0% annual revenue growth, with a $3.5B market cap that appears disconnected from operating reality. While his cross-ticker track record shows a 92.86% 90-day win rate with +94.8% average returns, his execution at this specific ticker demonstrates consistent near-term underperformance, suggesting either misjudgment of HYMC's trajectory or persistence despite recent setbacks.

Significance 4/10

10% Owner Sprott buys 200,000 shares ($7.7M) at $38.67 avg; stock down 32.7% from 52-week high amid -$9.4M net income.

Eric Sprott, a 10% owner, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 200,000 shares for $7,734,000.00 on 2026-04-09, increasing holdings by +0.5% to 37,303,704 shares post-transaction. His cross-ticker track record shows strong 90-day outcomes (100% win rate, avg +132.6% return across 20 prior buys), but his same-ticker history at HYMC is mixed: 5 prior trades show 3 with negative 30-day returns and 0 measurable 90-day outcomes yet. The stock is currently trading at $37.50, -32.7% from its 52-week high of $55.74 and -11.9% over 30 days, despite a +38.2% 90-day gain. HYMC fundamentals are concerning: the company posted $-9,376,000.00 net income in its most recent quarter, zero revenue in the latest quarter, and -100.0% annual revenue growth, with a market cap of $3,413,851,387.50. The timing of this substantial $7.7M buy after recent weakening price action and consecutive losses at this ticker presents a divergence between Sprott's proven cross-ticker success and his actual execution pattern at HYMC specifically.

Significance 6/10

10% owner Eric Sprott purchases 100,000 HYMC shares at $40.85; stock now $38.79 (-30.4% from 52-week high)

Sprott Eric, a 10% owner of Hycroft Mining, bought 100,000 shares (100.0K shares) on 2026-03-05 at $40.85 for $4,085,000.00, increasing his holdings to 37,103,704 shares from 37,003,704 shares. The company is currently unprofitable with net income of $-9,376,000.00 and revenue of $0.00 in the latest quarter, reflecting severe operational challenges. Stock price has declined -30.4% from its 52-week high of $55.74 to the current $38.79, and his cross-ticker track record shows a 100% win rate across 20 prior buys with average 90-day returns of +371.0%, though at Hycroft specifically his 5 prior trades show mixed near-term results (ranging from -2.7% to +9.5% over 30 days where measurable). The timing and financial condition of this acquisition against a depressed stock price and deteriorating fundamentals raises questions about the basis for this continued accumulation.

Significance 6/10

10% owner Sprott Eric bought 100,000 shares (100.0K shares) of HYMC at $47.58 on 2026-03-04 for $4,758,000.00 ($4.8M)

Sprott Eric, a 10% owner, purchased 100,000 shares at $47.58, raising his holdings to 37,003,704 shares (37.00M shares). The transaction occurred at a price 15.8% above the current price of $41.06, and during a period when the stock has fallen -26.3% from its 52-week high of $55.74. HYMC is an unprofitable company with latest quarterly revenue of $0.00, full-year net income of -$9,376,000.00, and annual revenue growth of -100.0%, yet maintains a market cap of $3,737,939,679.22 ($3.7B). At the same-ticker level, Sprott's prior five purchases at HYMC show mixed near-term outcomes: one trade showed +9.5% 30-day return, one showed -2.7%, and one showed +7.0%, with none yet measurable at the 90-day mark. His cross-ticker track record across 20 prior buys shows an average 90-day return of +371.0% with a 100.00% win rate, though this does not predict performance in this specific distressed-fundamentals context.

Significance 7/10

10% Owner Sprott Eric buys 150,000 HYMC shares at $42.05 on 2026-02-20; stock -23.3% from 52-week high.

Sprott Eric, a 10% owner, purchased 150,000 shares of Hycroft Mining at $42.05, increasing his holdings to 36.90M shares in an open-market transaction. The purchase arrives as HYMC trades -23.3% below its 52-week peak of $54.85 and -17.0% over the past 30 days, after a dramatic 90-day rally of +321.3%. Across Sprott's broader trading history, he maintains a 100% win rate on his 20 prior open-market buys (avg 90d return +262.3%), though same-ticker context is more limited: his five prior HYMC buys show measurable returns ranging from +7.0% to +32.6% over 30 days, with insufficient data to assess 90-day outcomes. The company remains unprofitable (annual net income -$9.4M, latest quarterly revenue $0.00, FY revenue growth -100.0%), which frames this purchase as occurring amid operational deterioration rather than fundamental improvement.

Significance 6/10

10% owner Sprott Eric buys 200,000 HYMC shares at $45.99 ($9.2M); stock now $37.35, down 31.9% from 52-week high.

Sprott Eric, holding 36.75M shares post-transaction, purchased 200,000 shares at $45.99 on 2026-01-29, representing a $9.2M deployment into HYMC. This is the fifth purchase by this insider in rapid succession (four additional buys on 2026-01-26, 2026-01-14, 2026-01-09, and 2026-01-08), suggesting sustained accumulation over a compressed timeframe. However, the stock has declined 31.9% from its 52-week high of $54.85 to the current price of $37.35, reflecting a sharp reversal despite the insider's continued buying activity. The company's fundamentals remain challenged: revenue stands at $0.00 for the latest quarter and full-year net income was negative at $-9,376,000.00, with annual revenue growth at -100.0%. This presents a tension between the insider's accumulation pattern and the stock's recent underperformance alongside deteriorating operational metrics.

Significance 7/10

10% owner Sprott Eric bought 100.0K shares of HYMC at $49.96 on 2026-01-26; stock now at $54.85 (+30d: +119.3%)

Sprott Eric, a 10% owner, purchased 100,000 shares at $49.96 for $5.0M on 2026-01-26, expanding holdings from 36.45M to 36.55M shares. The stock has surged +119.3% over the prior 30 days and +601.4% over 90 days, now trading at $54.85 near its 52-week high of $54.85. Critically, HYMC reported zero revenue in its latest quarter and a negative net income of $-9.4M, with annual revenue declining -100.0% year-over-year; the company remains unprofitable. This purchase is the insider's fourth consecutive buy at HYMC within a 24-day window (2025-12-26 through 2026-01-26), following a pattern of rapid accumulation in a fundamentally distressed asset that has experienced extreme volatility. The company has a $4.4B market cap despite operational losses and no revenue, raising questions about the basis for conviction in this accumulation strategy amid such stark fundamental deterioration.

Significance 7/10

Eric Sprott (10% owner) buys 200,000 HYMC shares at $33.21; stock now $34.59 after 161.4% in 30 days. Fifth buy in 10 days. Unprofitable company ($-9.4M net income) with zero revenue.

Eric Sprott, a 10% owner of Hycroft Mining, purchased 200,000 shares at $33.21 on 2026-01-14, the latest in a series of five separate purchases within a 10-day window (2025-12-26 through 2026-01-14). The stock has rallied sharply—up 161.4% over 30 days and now trading at $34.59, near the 52-week high of $34.59. However, the company fundamentals are deeply concerning: it reported zero revenue in the latest quarter, a net loss of $-9.4M, and annual revenue has contracted 100.0% year-over-year. The company operates with negative profitability on a market cap of $2.8B, indicating highly speculative valuation. While Sprott's cross-ticker buy track record shows a 97.4% average 30-day return and 100% 90-day win rate across 20 prior trades, none of his five recent HYMC purchases have yet reached measurable 90-day outcomes, and his prior HYMC trades show zero well-timed entries at the 90-day mark. The rapid accumulation into a financially distressed, zero-revenue company at inflated valuations presents a distinctive risk pattern for investors monitoring this holding.

Significance 7/10

10% owner Sprott Eric buys 125,000 HYMC shares in 2 transactions totaling $3.3M (avg $26.27) on Jan 8–9, 2026.

Eric Sprott, a 10% owner, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 125,000 shares for $3,284,250.00 at a blended average price of $26.27, increasing his stake to 31,581,352 shares. This comes during a period of pronounced recent momentum: the stock has risen 132.7% over 30 days and 264.2% over 90 days, trading at $27.13 currently (-8.8% from its 52-week high of $29.74). Sprott's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market buys with a 100% 90-day win rate and average 90-day return of +121.0%, though his 5 most recent trades at HYMC (Dec 19–29, 2025) are still within their measurement windows. The company itself remains fundamentally challenged: it reported zero revenue in its latest quarter, a negative annual net income of $-9,376,000.00, and 100% year-over-year revenue decline, with a $2.2B market cap. The accumulation pattern—five consecutive buys within 11 days in late December followed immediately by these two January purchases—suggests persistent conviction, yet the timing relative to the stock's sharp recent rally and the company's deteriorating financial condition warrant scrutiny.

Significance 7/10

Sprott Eric (10% Owner) bought 700,000 shares across 4 transactions for $16,545,000.00 (avg $23.64/share) at HYMC 2025-12-24 to 2025-12-29.

Sprott Eric, a 10% shareholder, executed 4 separate purchases totaling 700,000 shares for $16,545,000.00 over a 6-day window (2025-12-24 through 2025-12-29), with a blended average price of $23.64, increasing his holdings to 31.46M shares (+2.3% vs pre-transaction). The timing is notable: stock closed 2025-12-29 at $22.70 (the final transaction price), then rallied to $23.48 current (+100.7% over 30 days, +258.5% over 90 days), placing current price 13.5% below the 52-week high of $27.14. Across his entire cross-ticker open-market history, this insider's 16 prior buy transactions have averaged +44.3% 30-day returns and +121.0% 90-day returns with a 100% win rate; however, his 5 most recent trades at HYMC (2025-12-12 through 2025-12-19) have no measurable outcomes yet. The company remains unprofitable (net income: $-9.4M most recently, -100.0% annual revenue growth), warranting scrutiny of the timing and conviction behind a $16.5M accumulation by a major shareholder.
