Freeport-McMoRan

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 end 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.

<h3>Freeport-McMoRan: Delving into Financials</h3>
<p><strong>Market Capitalization:</strong> Boasting an elevated market capitalization, the company surpasses industry averages. This signals substantial size and strong market recognition.</p>
<p><strong>Negative Revenue Trend:</strong> Examining Freeport-McMoRan's financials over 3 months reveals challenges. As of 31 December, 2024, the company experienced a decline of approximately <strong>-3.13%</strong> in revenue growth, reflecting a decrease in top-line earnings. In comparison to its industry peers, the company trails behind with a growth rate lower than the average among peers in the Materials sector.</p>
<p><strong>Net Margin:</strong> Freeport-McMoRan's net margin falls below industry averages, indicating challenges in achieving strong profitability. With a net margin of <strong>4.79%,</strong> the company may face hurdles in effective cost management.</p>
<p><strong>Return on Equity (ROE):</strong> The company's ROE is below industry benchmarks, signaling potential difficulties in efficiently using equity capital. With an ROE of <strong>1.56%,</strong> the company may need to address challenges in generating satisfactory returns for shareholders.</p>
<p><strong>Return on Assets (ROA):</strong> The company's ROA is below industry benchmarks, signaling potential difficulties in efficiently utilizing assets. With an ROA of <strong>0.5%,</strong> the company may need to address challenges in generating satisfactory returns from its assets.</p>
<p><strong>Debt Management:</strong> Freeport-McMoRan's debt-to-equity ratio stands notably higher than the industry average, reaching <strong>0.55</strong>. This indicates a heavier reliance on borrowed funds, raising concerns about financial leverage.</p>
<h2>Analyst Ratings: Simplified</h2>
<p>Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.</p>
<p>Some analysts will also offer forecasts for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide further guidance on stocks. Investors who use analyst ratings should note that this specialized advice comes from humans and may be subject to error.</p>

<h3>About Freeport-McMoRan</h3>

It had about 25 years of copper reserves at end 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.</p>

<p>Looking into the current session, <strong>Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>)</strong> shares are trading at $38.06, after a <strong>1.04%</strong> drop. Over the past month, the stock fell by <strong>2.26%</strong>, but over the past year, it actually went up by <strong>3.39%</strong>.

<h3>Freeport-McMoRan P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
<p>The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. </p>
<p>Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of <strong>28.97</strong> in the Metals &amp; Mining industry, Freeport-McMoRan Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of <strong>29.58</strong>. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Freeport-McMoRan Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1739278812_1.png" alt="Guage" /></p>

<p>In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions. </p>
