Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX) is proving both promising and worrying with a notable dip in short interest, even as its 85% institutional ownership indicates significant stakeholder interest in the business. The firm has remained robust during broader market downturns and continues to attract investor attention, causing the stock to rally as copper and gold prices rise. Despite recent market fluctuations,
Freeport-McMoRan has shown resilience, largely due to favorable copper prices that buoyed the company's positive performance in
Q1. Analysts suggest it's a strong value stock with potential for long-term gains, especially as it looks to expand copper production further. It's also attracted substantial investment from various entities, including
Doheny Asset Management CA and
Point72 Hong Kong Ltd. However, the recent large market value drop seems to be overlooked, suggesting investors may require further assurances of its stability amidst volatility. The firm's ability to surpass analyst revenue forecasts and record a 10% revenue beat provides optimism.
Raymond James has issued Q3 and Q4 2024 earnings estimates, indicating a long-term positive outlook.
