A free account reveals FCX's entry zone, price target & stop loss. Full 1-week to 1-year price forecasts are included with Pro.
The Thesis
▲ Bull Case
In a bull scenario, progress on the reported Grasberg recovery could support copper output and earnings. The current price is below the supplied 52-week high of $80.24, leaving room for a retest if operations improve.
▼ Bear Case
In a bear scenario, recovery disappoints or earnings soften. Trailing P/E is 35.63x, forward P/E is 47.61x, and price-to-free-cash-flow is 64.65x; those multiples leave less room for setbacks. Cash-flow and balance-sheet statements were not supplied.
Valuation
elevated — score 30/100
Earnings and free-cash-flow multiples look demanding against supplied revenue growth of 4.39% and EPS growth of -13.87%; no peer data was supplied.
Technical Levels
Support · $71.42 (Supplied day low; not confirmed support) · $38.19 (Supplied 52-week low)
Resistance · $73.52 (Supplied day high; not confirmed resistance) · $80.24 (Supplied 52-week high)
Financial Health
Score 55/100. Supplied liquidity ratios and operating margin are supportive; debt, cash flow and full financial statements are unavailable.
Catalysts
| Grasberg recovery progress | Timing not supplied | Potentially high; progress is referenced in a supplied headline, without output figures. |
| Further operating and earnings disclosures | Dates not supplied | Could clarify whether recovery supports the current valuation. |
