About: 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 700,000 ounces then due to falling production at Grasberg.

Freeport-McMoRan: Teed Up To Benefit As Copper Shortage Is Set To Expand Soon
Freeport-McMoRan stands as a global copper leader, well-positioned to benefit from rising copper demand and persistent supply constraints. Copper's strategic importance is surging, driven by green energy, AI data centers, and infrastructure, while supply growth is limited by geological and geopolitical factors. We forecast strong revenue and EBITDA growth through 2026, supported by stable production, higher copper and gold prices, and positive operating leverage.
