Earnings tone is currently no clear earnings read.
Calamos Advisors LLC boosted its holdings in shares of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX) by 13.4% during the undefined quarter, according to its most recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The institutional investor owned 927,380 shares of the natural resource company's stock after buying an additional 109,594 shares during the period.
Freeport-McMoRan remains bullish despite Grasberg mine setbacks, as reduced output supports higher copper prices amid robust demand. Q1'26 revenues rose 8.7% YoY to $6.23B, with EPS at $0.57 helped by a $700 million insurance payout, offsetting production declines. FCX now targets 2026 copper sales of 3.1 billion lbs, with Grasberg at 0.8 billion lbs and full capacity delayed to late 2027.
Freeport-McMoRan Inc. remains a Buy, supported by strong copper prices and robust EPS growth despite Grasberg mine delays. Q1 delivered a solid beat: $0.57 non-GAAP EPS and $6.2B revenue, but 2026 copper/gold sales guidance was cut due to operational setbacks. FCX stock valuation remains attractive; with a $77 intrinsic value target, FCX offers $15 upside from current levels and a low PEG ratio.

FCX has surged 48% in six months on strong copper prices and earnings, but higher costs and weaker volumes cloud its near-term outlook.
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 29, 2026) - C3 Metals Inc. (TSXV: CCCM) (OTCQB: CUAUF) ("C3 Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from 11 additional holes drilled at its 100%-owned Khaleesi copper project ("Khaleesi" or "the Project") in southern Peru. Strong copper mineralization intersected in a magnetite skarn returned 148.05m at 0.42% CuEq (0.34% copper) from approximately 265m vertical depth.
Freeport-McMoRan is navigating a mixed landscape marked by operational challenges at the Grasberg mine, which have delayed full production capacity until late 2027. Despite these setbacks, the company posted better-than-expected first-quarter earnings with an EPS of $0.57, aided by a $700 million insurance payout, and reported an 8.7% revenue increase to $6.23 billion. The reduction in copper supply is supporting higher copper prices amid solid demand, helping offset production declines. Institutional interest is evident as Calamos Advisors significantly increased its stake, signaling confidence in the company’s prospects. Traders will likely monitor copper price trends, operational recovery at Grasberg, and any revisions to 2026 sales guidance to gauge Freeport’s near-term trajectory.
