Freeport-McMoRan has continually been labeled a favorable investment by brokers and has an optimistic trajectory according to Citigroup and Wells Fargo, both of which have upgraded the stock to a buy rating. Citigroup posits that
copper prices may reach $12,000 by 2026; as one of the world's largest copper producers, this could heavily contribute to the company's revenue growth. Despite certain setbacks such as the tragic Grasberg mine incident that triggered the company to cut its output targets, the company's stock price rallied 11% after news about Grasberg mine's suspension and stake transfer. Multiple companies including Shikiar Asset Management, Mercuria Capital Strategies, and Villere ST Denis J & Co have significantly increased their positions in
FCX. Moreover, Freeport-McMoRan has been under investigation due to claims on behalf of investors. Despite lowering Q3 forecasts for copper and gold sales, and experiencing a dip, it is regarded as a strong value, growth, and momentum stock. Overall, the mixed sentiment borders more towards an optimistic stance due to the potential for higher copper prices and showings of increasing stake by companies.
