On October 29, Freeport-McMoRan fell 3.32% in Regular Trading, trading at $64.705 per share, with turnover of $54.38 million.
The most direct catalyst in recent market updates was a target-price reduction from UBS to $85 from $88, while maintaining a buy rating, a change that appears to have pressured short-term sentiment despite no downgrade in stance.
The pullback came shortly after Freeport-McMoRan reported third-quarter revenue of $7.55 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.88, both above consensus, with copper production of 832 million pounds and gold output of 234,000 ounces. Management also highlighted tight copper supply conditions, reinforcing a constructive long-term industry backdrop, but the latest broker target reset provides the clearest event-linked explanation for the stock's intraday weakness.
