Freeport-McMoRan stock tumbles after Trump imposes copper tariffs Investing.com -- Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE:FCX) stock fell as much as 7% on Tuesday after President Donald Trump signed a proclamation imposing significant tariffs on copper imports, citing national security concerns. The mining giant’s shares dropped alongside copper prices following the announcement of a 50% tariff on semi-finished copper products and copper-intensive derivative products, set to take effect on August 1. The tariffs will apply to items such as copper pipes, wires, rods, sheets, tubes, pipe fittings, cables, connectors, and electrical components. The proclamation follows the completion of a Section 232 investigation under the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, which was initiated through Executive Order 14220 in February 2025. The investigation determined that copper is essential to U.S. national and economic security as the Department of Defense’s second-most used material. In addition to the tariffs, the President directed the Secretary of Commerce to establish measures under the Defense Production Act to support the domestic copper industry. These include requiring 25% of high-quality copper scrap produced in the U.S. to be sold domestically, with similar requirements for copper input materials starting at 25% in 2027 and increasing to 40% by 2029. The proclamation excludes copper input materials such as copper ores, concentrates, mattes, cathodes, and anodes, as well as copper scrap from the tariffs. The administration stated that these actions aim to level the playing field for U.S. copper businesses and strengthen the domestic copper industry.

Freeport-McMoran stock falls amid Chile’s copper tariff negotiations Investing.com -- Freeport-McMoran (NYSE: FCX) stock fell as much as 5% Monday before paring the decline to 3% as Chile’s Finance Minister expressed optimism about securing an exception to potential U.S. copper tariffs. Chilean Finance Minister Mario Marcel indicated during a Radio Duna interview that he expects copper to be excluded from U.S. tariff plans during ongoing negotiations in Washington. Marcel noted that similar exceptions have been made for raw materials in other trade agreements, citing precedents with the United Kingdom regarding steel and Indonesia concerning copper. "We expect these conversations starting today in Washington to also cover the copper issue, because it wouldn’t be very useful to have a trade agreement that excludes more than half of our exports to the U.S., such as copper and wood," Marcel stated. The potential 50% tariff on copper imports to the United States has created uncertainty for major producers like Freeport-McMoran, which operates significant copper mining assets globally. The Chilean government’s stance appears focused on diplomatic solutions rather than retaliatory measures. Marcel explicitly ruled out implementing counter-tariffs on U.S. imports, explaining that "a tariff is a tax on imports that local consumers have to pay... We are not going to punish our taxpayers by applying a tariff on imports from the U.S." The outcome of these negotiations remains crucial for Freeport-McMoran and the broader copper market, as Chile represents one of the world’s largest copper producers. Any resolution regarding the proposed tariffs could significantly impact global copper trade flows and pricing.

Freeport-McMoRan beats quarterly profit on higher copper and gold prices (Reuters) -Miner Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE:FCX) beat Wall Street estimates for second-quarter profit on Wednesday, as higher copper and gold prices helped offset lower production. The company’s shares rose 1.6% to $40.54 in pre-market trade. The results come against the backdrop of U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to impose a 50% tariff on copper imports, from August 1. Freeport could be a big beneficiary, seeing as much as $1.6-billion boost to annual profit, given its position as the largest U.S. producer with more expansion options than rivals. Following the announcement, COMEX copper prices jumped roughly 25% above global benchmarks, widening the price spread between domestic and international markets. Freeport, which supplies about 70% of U.S. refined copper, said it expects to sell 1.3 billion pounds from its domestic mines in 2025. The company said U.S. tariffs in effect and announced so far have not had a material impact on second-quarter, but warned of a roughly 5% increase in the cost of U.S. purchases if suppliers pass along tariff-related expenses. Quarterly average realized price for copper was $4.54 per pound, up 1.3% from a year earlier, while average realized price for gold was $3,291 per ounce, up about 43%. The company reported an adjusted profit of 54 cents per share for the three months ended June 30, compared with analysts’ average estimate of 45 cents, according to data compiled by LSEG.

UBS downgrades Freeport-McMoRan as copper price risks offset tariff boost Investing.com -- UBS downgraded Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE:FCX) to Neutral from Buy, saying the recent rally has priced in much of the upside from U.S. copper tariffs and widening Comex-LME price spreads, while softening fundamentals may pressure global copper prices in the near term. The brokerage lifted its price target on the stock to $50 from $45, but said the risk-reward is now balanced after shares surged 50% over the past three months. While UBS sees potential earnings upside from the 25% Comex premium linked to proposed U.S. tariffs on imported copper, it cautioned that the market remains skeptical about the durability of the policy. Tariff-inflated earnings may not be sustainable medium term, according to analyst saying that Freeport could trade at a lower valuation multiple as a result. UBS estimates that at current premium levels, the tariff-related pricing gap could lift Freeport’s 2026 EBITDA by around $1.4 billion, or 18% on an attributable basis. However, it also flagged the build-up of U.S. copper inventories, estimated at 500,000 to 700,000 tonnes, and the risk of tariff carve-outs or reductions that could cap further gains. Despite the downgrade, UBS remained positive on several stock-specific drivers, including a de-risking of its Indonesian operations, potential upside from U.S. clean energy tax credits, and greater leverage to rising gold prices versus peers. It expects positive earnings revisions as consensus increasingly reflects tariff-linked premiums. Still, UBS pointed to near-term pressure on LME copper prices due to a softening demand outlook, which could limit upside even as Freeport benefits from U.S. market dislocations. The firm now values the stock at 8.0x 2026 EV/EBITDA, down from 9.0x previously.

Freeport-McMoran: Citi hikes PT, sees near-term upside on possible copper tariffs Investing.com-- Citi analysts added Freeport-McMoran Copper & Gold (NYSE:FCX) to their 90-day “catalyst watch” list, saying the stock could rise in the near term if the U.S. government announces new tariffs on imported copper. Citi analysts said Freeport would likely benefit the most among copper producers because of its strong U.S. operations. A decision on the tariffs is expected before November, analysts noted. The brokerage raised its price target for the stock to $48 from $44, maintaining a "neutral" rating. In a separate research note, Citi said Freeport’s earnings could improve in the second quarter, helped by strong copper prices and good performance at its U.S. mines. The bank now expects Freeport to report $3.1 billion in adjusted EBITDA, up from $2.7 billion in the first quarter. Citi also raised its full-year EBITDA forecast by 3% to $11.4 billion. Citi believes copper prices may dip in the short term as the U.S. sells off some of its supplies but expects prices to rise again next year. The bank sees copper topping $10,000 per ton in 2026, driven by strong long-term demand.
