Wheaton's Market Cap at CA$79.57 Billion

Despite the recent drop, Wheaton Precious Metals still has a substantial market cap, showing its significant presence in the industry.

Bull case

Wheaton's strong profit margin of 65.55% suggests it operates efficiently. This could help the company rebound if market conditions improve.
