Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openAn analyst argues that FCX's current valuation looks cheap, trading at 5.5 times forward earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (a measure of operating profit) versus a historical average of 8.25 times, with projected free cash flow yield (the cash the business generates relative to its price) rising toward 8%. The piece highlights operational recovery at the Grasberg mine in Indonesia and credit from by-products like gold as supportive factors, while flagging license renewal and copper price risks.
An investment firm called Van Hulzen Asset Management cut its FCX holding by 46.6% during the second quarter, according to its latest SEC filing (a Form 13F, the quarterly report large investment managers must file showing their stock holdings). It still owns 51,590 shares. The article body is cut off and does not provide further detail.
The law firm Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC has launched an investigation into the officers and directors of Freeport-McMoRan, following the company's September 24 disclosure about a mud rush incident at its PT Freeport Indonesia operations.
The piece notes FCX is the largest U.S. copper producer, supplying roughly 70% of domestically refined copper, and that more than 65% of global copper is used for electrical applications.
On Friday, traders bought an unusually large number of call options on Freeport-McMoRan, with 87,555 calls changing hands. That volume was 49% above the stock's recent daily average of about 58,600 calls.
