Recently, Zacks.com users have been paying close attention to Freeport-McMoRan (FCX). This makes it worthwhile to examine what the stock has in store.

Freeport-McMoRan is rated Buy, supported by resilient U.S. operations, a robust expansion pipeline, and discounted valuation at 7.6x EV/EBITDA FWD.
