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 650,000 ounces then due to falling production at Grasberg.

Freeport-McMoRan: Re-Rating Ahead On Strong Fundamentals
Freeport-McMoRan is a compelling buy, due to strong copper demand, limited new supply, and a leading market position supporting a long-term bull thesis. Financial performance is robust, with rising margins, solid profitability, and shares trading at a discount to peers, despite superior scale and asset quality. My DCF and comparative analysis indicate a fair value of $50 per share, offering 11-12% upside, supported by conservative guidance and potential outperformance.

Freeport-McMoRan: Why I Was Not Impressed With Q2 Results
Freeport-McMoRan delivered a strong Q2 earnings beat, but results fell short of the blowout I expected, given extremely bullish copper and gold fundamentals. Despite favorable catalysts like 50% copper tariffs and a big increase in sequential gold sales, FCX remains stuck in the $30-$50 trading range it's been in for four years. Sales guidance for Q3 is flat on copper and significantly weaker on gold and moly, raising concerns about near-term growth.
