While sales volumes were lower, significantly higher realized copper prices boosted the company's second-quarter earnings performance. Freeport has underperformed the Zacks Mining - Non Ferrous industry's 16.1% rise, but topped the S&P 500's 2.9% increase over the same period. Its peers, Southern Copper Corporation SCCO and BHP Group Limited BHP, have gained 11.5% and 10.7%, respectively. Freeport's One-month Price PerformanceZacks Investment Research Image Source: Zacks Investment Research FCX stock broke above its 50-day simple moving average (SMA) on Aug. 4, 2026, driven by a spike in copper prices. FCX has been trading above the 200-day SMA since late November 2025, suggesting a long-term uptrend. Following a golden crossover on July 8, 2025, the 50-day SMA is higher than the 200-day SMA, indicating a bullish trend. FCX Stock Trades Above 50-Day SMAZacks Investment Research Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Let's take a look at FCX's fundamentals to analyze the stock better. Freeport's Growth Actions to Drive Capacity & Production Freeport continues to leverage its portfolio of high-quality copper assets, emphasizing disciplined execution and organic growth initiatives to strengthen its production profile. FCX has completed the evaluation of a large-scale expansion at El Abra in Chile to define a large sulfide resource that could potentially support a major mill project similar to the large-scale concentrator at Cerro Verde, with an estimated resource of approximately 20 billion recoverable pounds of copper. The expansion is expected to result in the addition of more than 700 million pounds of copper production annually. In Arizona, FCX is progressing with pre-feasibility studies at its Safford/Lone Star operations, with completion targeted for 2026, to assess a sizable sulfide expansion opportunity. It has expansion opportunities at Bagdad in Arizona that can more than double the concentrator capacity of the operation. Technical and economic studies have revealed the potential to build concentrating facilities to boost copper production by 200-250 million pounds annually. PT Freeport Indonesia (PT-FI) is developing the Kucing Liar ore body within the Grasberg district with a targeted ramp-up to commence in 2030. FCX completed studies in 2025 that showed an opportunity to increase Kucing Liar's design capacity to 130,000 metric tons of ore per day and reserves by roughly 20% at low costs. Story Continues FCX's Solid Financial Health & Capital Discipline Bode Well FCX has a strong liquidity profile and generates substantial cash flows, providing ample flexibility to fund expansion projects, reduce debt and enhance shareholder returns. It generated solid operating cash flows of $5.6 billion in 2025. Cash flows provided by operations were around $2 billion in the second quarter of 2026. Freeport ended the second quarter with strong liquidity, including $4.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents, $3 billion in availability under the Freeport revolving credit facility, and $1.5 billion in availability under the PT-FI credit facility. At the end of the second quarter, Freeport had a net debt of $2.1 billion, excluding PTFI's new downstream processing facilities. Its net debt is below its targeted range of $3-$4 billion. Freeport has a policy of distributing 50% of the available cash to its shareholders and the balance to either reduce debt or invest in growth projects. FCX has no significant debt maturities until 2027. Its long-term debt-to-capitalization is around 20.2% compared with 38.6% for Southern Copper and 29.3% for BHP Group. FCX offers a dividend yield of roughly 0.4% at the current stock price. Its payout ratio is 13% (a ratio below 60% is a good indicator that the dividend will be sustainable).

(\"Amarc\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:AHR)(OTCQB:AXREF)(FSE:AQ5) is pleased to announce that AuRORA Minerals Ltd, (\"AML\"), a private joint venture company owned 60% by Freeport-McMoRan Mineral Properties Canada Inc. (\"Freeport\") and 40% by Amarc, is identifying major new sulphide systems east of the high grade AuRORA Porphyry Gold-Copper (\"Au-Cu\") deposit discovery through on-going Induced Polarization (\"IP\") ground geophysical surveys at the JOY Copper-Gold District. These surveys are one component of the $20 million JOY 2026 exploration program underway at JOY which is funded by Freeport (see Amarc release July 21, 2026). Amarc is the primary contractor managing AML's programs under a separate Services Agreement. Recent IP Results (see Figures 1 and 2)Expand JOY's Potential: Expanded the original 4.5 km2 NWG sulphide system that hosts the AuRORA Au-Cu deposit eastwards over an area that now covers 7 km2; Discovered a new and still open 4.5 km2 sulphide system named the ROE Target, adjacent to the east of the expanded NWG sulphide system; and Expanded the White Pass sulphide system that hosts the historical Brenda Au-Cu deposit from 3.0 km2 to 5.0 km2. The eastward expansion of the NWG sulphide system together with the ROE and White Pass sulphide systems lie within the Brenda Property. AML, through Amarc, has a mineral property option agreement with Canasil Resources Inc. pursuant to which it can acquire a 100% interest in this tenure (see Amarc releases February 11, 2025 and August 26, 2025). The Brenda Property is considered by Amarc to be underlain by similar highly prospective volcanics and transitional porphyry Cu-Au and epithermal Au-Ag geological setting as at the AuRORA and TWINS Porphyry Au-Cu Discoveries. Historical exploration of the Brenda Property identified both epithermal and porphyry related rock alteration assemblages hosting Cu, Au and Ag mineralization, including an historical drillhole intersection of 78 m grading 0.61 g/t Au and 0.10% Cu from 110 m in hole BR-07-05 (see Canasil National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report at https://www.canasil.com/projects/bc-canada-properties/brenda/). \"This season's on-going exploration programs include core drilling with three rigs and extensive geophysical, geological, and geochemical surveys, which continue to unlock what Amarc considers to be the Tier 1 potential of the JOY Gold-Copper District in the Toodoggone Region of British Columbia,\" said Amarc President and CEO Diane Nicolson. \"The initial IP survey results suggest the possibility that the NWG sulphide system hosting the AuRORA deposit, and the ROE and the White Pass mineralized systems (the latter of which hosts the Brenda deposit) plus another target-area called NUB could potentially form a 12 km long east-northeast oriented cluster of porphyry gold-copper deposits exposed at different levels: the AuRORA Trend. If so, this trend would be sub-parallel to JOY's northeast-oriented PINE Trend, which is located some 11 km to the south. The PINE Trend is defined by the PINE deposit, and the TWINS and Canyon Discoveries. The new AuRORA Trend is also located some 22 km to the north of the east-northeast striking trend of Kemess Au-Cu deposits owned by Centerra Gold Inc. Amarc is excited about this new potential and continues to believe that we have just scratched the surface of this extensive copper-gold district, with the strong gold and copper endowment of the AuRORA deposit discovery that remains open to expansion, being the key cornerstone to the development of not only the JOY District but to the entire Toodoggone Region.\" Story Continues Figure 1: JOY District: Large-Scale Mineral Systems Host the AuRORA, CANYON and TWINS Discoveries, PINE Deposit, Brenda deposit, NWG, ROE, MEX and Other Sulphide Systems Figure 2: JOY District AuRORA Trend: Second Emerging Classic Porphyry Au-Cu Deposits Trend at JOY District Expansion of the NWG Sulphide Sy", "date_published": "2026-08-12T11:45:00+00:00", "authors": [{"name": "finance.yahoo.com"}], "tags": ["Market update", "FCXO34"], "_sharemaestro": {"country": "Brazil", "coverage": "Provider-linked mention", "market_context": null, "companies": [{"symbol": "FCXO34", "name": "Freeport-McMoRan Inc.", "sentiment_url": "https://sharemaestro.com/sentiment/80f2fe24-19b5-45e2-b223-22a208f36bf1/"}]}}, {"id": "source:a832e01d1826585a72903f995b74380d79c503d27ccba544436b4d1d76409548", "url": "https://finance.yahoo.com/m/abb19379-19a9-3c51-97a8-6ac09e74a14e/nucor%2C-asml-lead-five-stocks.html", "external_url": "https://finance.yahoo.com/m/abb19379-19a9-3c51-97a8-6ac09e74a14e/nucor%2C-asml-lead-five-stocks.html", "title": "Nucor, ASML Lead Five Stocks Near Buy Points Without This Big Risk", "content_text": "Steelmaker Nucor and chip-gear giant ASML are among five stocks near buy points with earnings in the rearview mirror.

Trump said the investments included a $1.4 billion loan agreement with Sila Nanotechnologies Inc. from the Defense Department's Office of Strategic Capital. Other investments include $400 million by the Pentagon to expand production in Australia of scandium, which is critical to aerospace and defense industries, and $150 million with Niron Magnetics Inc., a Minnesota rare-earths firm. The Export-Import Bank is also working to provide more than $1 billion in financing for Ivanhoe Electric Inc.'s Santa Cruz copper project in Arizona, along with a $25 million investment to launch a graphite mine project in Alabama. The president also hailed plans to spend over $180 million to bolster educational programs for the mining industry, saying it would \"train the next generation of American miners.\" Trump said his efforts would ensure the US \"is never again reliant on hostile foreign nations for the resources our country needs to dominate in the future.\" The president was expected to be joined by executives from prominent companies, including Rio Tinto Group, BHP Group and Freeport-McMoRan Inc., MP Materials Corp., USA Rare Earth Inc., Energy Fuels Inc., US Antimony Corp., Sunrise Energy Metals Ltd., and The Metals Company. The event showcases administration efforts to spur US critical minerals development and processing ahead of a planned visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping to Washington in September. Trump said that under his administration domestic mines were reopening at a fast pace, including what he said was the first American rare-earth mine in more than 70 years and the construction of the first new aluminum smelter since 1980. Despite a trade truce that eased export controls over critical minerals and magnets essential to a host of cutting edge industries, rare earths remain a source of tension between the world's two largest economies. The US has sought to partner with domestic companies to build out a mine-to-magnet supply chain independent of China. Story Continues The federal government has already pledged more than $10 billion of investments in a bid to jump-start nascent US markets for rare earths and permanent magnets. The Pentagon kicked off the spending spree more than a year ago, announcing it would take a $400 million preferred equity stake in MP Materials \u2014 the sole domestic rare earths producer \u2014 and the US has since announced other projects the government is championing. While the scale of the US critical minerals build-out is enormous, there have been serious challenges and slow progress in developing the domestic industry. --With assistance from Jacob Lorinc.
