On October 30, Freeport-McMoRan fell 3.08% in Pre-Market Trading, trading at $64.5 per share, with turnover of $144,900.
The clearest recent catalyst is an analyst action: UBS lowered its price target on Freeport-McMoRan to $85 from $88 while maintaining a Buy rating, a move that may weigh on short-term sentiment even though the rating was unchanged.
That target revision followed a strong quarterly report released earlier this week. Freeport-McMoRan posted third-quarter revenue of $7.55 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.88, both above consensus, with copper production of about 832 million pounds and gold production of about 234,000 ounces. Management also said the world requires significantly more copper, underscoring a constructive longer-term industry backdrop.
