## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**Wheaton Precious Metals Exceeds 2025 Production Guidance and Provides 2026 and Long-Term Outlook, Projecting Approximately 50% Growth to 1.2 Million Gold Equivalent Ounces by 2030**

VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 16, 2026 /CNW/ - Wheaton Precious Metals™ Corp. ("Wheaton" or the "Company") is pleased to report 2025 actual production of approximately 692,000 gold equivalent ounces<sup>2</sup> ("GEOs"), exceeding the upper end of the 2025 production guidance range of 670,000 GEOs<sup>2</sup>. The Company also provides 2026 production guidance of 860,000 to 940,000 GEOs<sup>3</sup> and forecasts growth of approximately 50% to 1,200,000 GEOs<sup>3</sup> by 2030. Wheaton will provide full production and financial details with the release of its 2025 fourth quarter and full year results on Thursday, March 12, 2026, after market close.

"Wheaton delivered an outstanding year in 2025, supported by the strength of our diversified portfolio of high-quality, low-cost assets," said Haytham Hodaly, President of Wheaton Precious Metals. "Production surpassed the upper end of our annual guidance, with notable contributions from several operations, including record results from Salobo. We also advanced our corporate development strategy with investments in three assets. Together with today's announcement of an additional silver stream at Antamina, these developments significantly enhance our near-term growth outlook and reinforce our confidence in the portfolio's ability to continue delivering long-term value."

"The momentum we built over the past year provides a solid foundation for what we expect to be a sector-leading growth profile," added Randy Smallwood, Chief Executive Officer of Wheaton Precious Metals. "We believe Wheaton is on track to reach unprecedented levels of precious metals production within the streaming space. With the most precious metals focused portfolio in the industry, the strength of our projected growth profile, and rising demand for streaming capital, we believe Wheaton is exceptionally well positioned to continue delivering industry-leading growth."

---

<br> In 2025, gold equivalent production exceeded the upper end of our guidance range, driven largely by stronger performance at Salobo due to higher gold grades and recoveries, higher throughput and grades at Peñasquito, and higher grades at Constancia as more material was mined from the Pampacancha deposit. These positive results were partially offset by lower production from Goose, and Mineral Park , where ramp-ups progressed slower than anticipated.

As at December 31, 2025, approximately 156,800 GEO<sup>2</sup>'s were in produced but not yet delivered ("PBND"), consistent with the average PBND over the preceding four quarters and within our guided range of two to three months.

**Commodity Price Assumptions**

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Metal** | &nbsp;&nbsp;***Previous*** ****<br> 2025 Forecast** | &nbsp;&nbsp;***Updated*** ****<br> 2026 Forecast** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Gold** ($/ oz) | &nbsp;&nbsp;$2600 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$4800 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Silver** ($/ oz) | &nbsp;&nbsp;$30.00 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$80.00 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Palladium** ($/ oz) | &nbsp;&nbsp;$950 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$1500 |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Cobalt** ($/ lb) | &nbsp;&nbsp;$13.50 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$25.00 |

---

<br> The strong performance of silver in 2025 meant it outpaced all other metals that year. As a result, the metal price assumptions for 2026 produce a lower gold-to-silver ratio, which in turn leads to higher gold-equivalent calculations for 2026 compared to 2025. The silver and gold price assumptions used in the calculation of gold equivalent ounces are based on spot prices for the period from January 1, 2026 to February 12, 2026, which averaged approximately $88 per ounce for silver and $4,809 per ounce for gold. Metal prices have been volatile during this period, and there can be no assurance that these prices will be realized by the Company in the future.

<br> **2026 Production Outlook**

The Company anticipates that 2026 GEO<sup>3</sup> production will increase by over 11% from levels achieved in 2025. This expected year-over-year growth is driven primarily by the additional stream at Antamina which is expected to add another 70,000 GEOs<sup>3</sup> to the portfolio in 2026 and begin generating production on April 1, 2026. Further contributions from newly operating assets, including Blackwater, Mineral Park, Fenix, Hemlo, Goose & Platreef are also forecast to support this growth. These increases are expected to be partially offset by lower production from Constancia following the depletion of the Pampacancha pit in late December 2025.

At the Company's cornerstone assets, after achieving record production levels in 2025, attributable production levels at Salobo are forecast to decrease slightly, with higher throughput levels anticipated to be offset by modestly lower gold grades. Attributable production is forecast to increase significantly at Antamina in 2026 due to the additional stream, with the Company receiving a combined 67.5% of silver production commencing April 1, 2026, up from the 33.75% delivered in 2025 under the existing stream. Lastly, attributable production from Penasquito is forecast to increase from 2025, driven by stronger silver grades, including contributions from stockpile material as mining progresses through planned sequencing.

**Long-Term Production Outlook**

Production is forecast to increase by approximately 50% to 1,200,000 GEOs<sup>3</sup> by 2030, due to growth from multiple Operating assets including Antamina, Blackwater, Aljustrel , Marmato, Hemlo and Goose; Development assets that are in construction and/or various stages of ramp-up, including the Koné, Fenix, Kurmuk, Platreef, Mineral Park and El Domo projects; and Pre-development assets including the Spring Valley, Copper World and Santo Domingo projects, all of which have received their major permits.

From 2031 to 2035, attributable production is forecast to be maintained at 1,200,000 GEOs<sup>3</sup> annually and incorporates additional incremental production from Pre-development assets including the Cangrejos, Kudz ze Kayah and Marathon projects, in addition to the Mt. Todd and Black Pine royalties.

Not included in Wheaton's long-term forecast and instead classified as 'optionality', is potential future production from 11 other assets including El Alto<sup>4</sup>, Navidad and Toroparu.

Mr. Wes Carson, P.Eng., Vice President, Mining Operations is a "qualified person" as such term is defined under National Instrument 43-101, and has reviewed and approved the technical information disclosed in this news release.

Cautionary Language Regarding Reserves and Resources

For further information on Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources and on Wheaton more generally, readers should refer to Wheaton's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed on March 31, 2025 and other continuous disclosure documents filed by Wheaton since January 1, 2025, available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Wheaton's Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources are subject to the qualifications and notes set forth therein. Mineral Resources, which are not Mineral Reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Cautionary Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources: The information contained herein has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. The Company reports information regarding mineral properties, mineralization and estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources in accordance with Canadian reporting requirements which are governed by, and utilize definitions required by, Canadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Standards"). These definitions differ from the definitions adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") which are applicable to U.S. companies. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as "proven mineral reserves", "probable mineral reserves", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the reserve or resource estimates under the standards adopted by the SEC.
