On August 26, Wheaton Precious Metals fell 3.05% in regular trading, trading at $158.995/share, with turnover of $77.07 million.

On the news front, rising long-end US Treasury yields combined with warming Federal Reserve rate hike expectations have weighed broadly on the precious metals sector. Gold mining stocks declined across the board, with Newmont Mining down 2.09%, Agnico Eagle Mines down 2.28%, AngloGold Ashanti down 3.54%, Barrick Mining down 1.58%, and Coeur Mining down 1.16%.

Adding to selling pressure, the company's Q2 earnings reported earlier this month showed adjusted EPS of $1.19, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $1.23 by 3.25%. Revenue came in at $929.2 million, also falling short of the consensus estimate of $947.7 million. The combination of a hawkish macro backdrop and softer-than-expected fundamentals appears to have intensified capital outflows from the stock.
