FCX research

Overview

Company profile and research snapshot.

Company profile

Freeport-McMoRan owns stakes in 10 copper mines, led by its 49% ownership of the Grasberg copper and gold operations in Indonesia, 55% of the Cerro Verde mine in Peru, and 72% of Morenci in Arizona. It sold around 1.2 million metric tons of copper (its share) in 2024, making it the one of the world's largest copper miners by volume. It also sold about 900,000 ounces of gold, mostly from Grasberg, and 70 million pounds of molybdenum. It had about 25 years of copper reserves at the end of December 2024. We expect it to sell similar amounts of copper midcycle in 2029, though we expect gold volumes to decline to about 650,000 ounces then due to falling production at Grasberg.

Why Is FCX Down 5.58% Today?

Freeport-McMoRan shares fell sharply today as copper markets face headwinds from a cooling AI trade and disappointing response to supply-side developments. Despite industry recognition of FCX as a stock to watch, broader market pessimism around non-ferrous metals is weighing on the mining giant's valuation.

    Bottom line: FCX's 5.58% decline reflects broader market skepticism about near-term copper demand as the AI trade cools and mega-mine supply relief fails to impress. While FCX's fundamental value proposition remains sound for long-term investors, near-term volatility is likely until macro demand signals stabilize and copper prices find support.

    Freeport McMoRan (FCX) Stock Faces Q3 Earnings Valuation Questions

    Freeport-McMoRan stock inched up about 1% to US$66.60 after posting its Q3 2026 report, a muted move for a miner that just reported strong profits. The real story sits in earnings power. Basic earnings per share came in at US$0.81 on revenue of US$7.55b, supported by stronger copper economics and wider net margins. In the short term, the price reaction looks cautious. Over a longer horizon, a 13% trailing net profit margin and a P/E near 27.8x keep the conversation focused on how much future...
