Freeport-McMoRan: Grasberg Headwinds Priced In, Recovery Likely Prolonged
FCX's stock prices remain notably disconnected against the rising commodity prices, despite the potential accretion on its top/ bottom-line performance metrics. Part of the headwinds may be attributed to the mud rush incident at the Grasberg Block Cave mine in Indonesia, with it jeopardizing its production volumes in the mean time. FQ4'25/ FQ1'26 may bring forth FCX's rather underwhelming performance, pending the full ramp up of its mining/ smelting operations in Grasberg.
Freeport-McMoRan: Resilient Q3, But Cautious Outlook Ahead (Rating Downgrade)
Freeport-McMoRan faces production setbacks after the Grasberg mine accident, prompting a revised fair value of $42 and a Hold rating. Despite strong Q3 results driven by high copper and gold prices, FCX's future earnings are clouded by operational uncertainty and reduced 2025 guidance. Management expects a phased recovery, with Grasberg Block Cave resuming in 2026 and mitigation efforts underway to offset lost production.
