#Gold #SP500 A component of the FTSE 250, Hochschild recently produced what was described as their best results in 13 years. Better still, they restored their Dividend, something which we like to see as it generally will imply longer term confidence in an organisation. Of course, the price of Gold currently fluttering around the $3,000 level cannot be harming a company which registered 347k ounces of Gold in 2025, knocking the companies we watch via their Reality shows on Discovery into a cocked hat. For instance, hero of the Gold Rush show, Parker Schnabel, is targeting 10k ounces in the current season, making his operation an absolute minnow on the world stage. And Emily Riedels efforts to vacuum up 500 ounces from the floor of the Bering Strait starts to sound quite pathetic! But her 30 minute show on YouTube is compulsive viewing every Saturday.
Given the company share price performance this year, breaking through a downtrend since 2011 and recently achieving what we judge as an official, Big Picture higher high, our inclination is toward optimism for the future, simply from a chart perspective. Obviously, if the chart is looking good, it is a fair indication of growing market confidence rather than the usual internet chatroom room driven flurry of movements. For this reason, we dare suggest Hochschild may be worth taking a hard look at.
Presently, above 266p suggests the potential of ongoing gains to an initial 281p. In the event the share price closes a session above 281p, our secondary ambition becomes fairly confident looking at a future 352p. Such an ambition risks puncturing the visual glass ceiling which exists just over the 3 quid level, entering the realms of Big Picture calculations where a long term attraction shall be seen as coming from a distant 586p! We tend take these breaks of a glass ceiling seriously, the long term rarely proving a disappointment.
If everything intends go wrong for Hochshild Mining, their share price needs dig below 238p to give the first indication of trouble, entering a realm where an eventual reversal to a ridiculous looking 112p becomes possible.

Please remember, all prices are mid-price (halfway between the Buy and Sell). When we refer to a price CLOSING above a specific level, we are viewing the point where we can regard a trend as changing. Otherwise, we are simply speculating on near term trading targets. Our website is www.trendsandtargets.com.
UPDATE. We often give an initial and a secondary price. If the initial is exceeded, we still expect it to fall back but the next time the initial is bettered, the price should continue to the secondary. The converse it true with price drops.
