On July 29, Freeport-McMoRan declined 3.21% in regular trading, trading at $59.685/share, with turnover of $176 million. The stock extended its post-earnings slide as profit-taking pressure continued following its Q2 report released on July 23.

Despite delivering a strong Q2 beat — adjusted EPS of $0.74 surpassed the consensus estimate of $0.59 by over 25%, while revenue of $7.03 billion exceeded the $6.76 billion forecast — the stock has fallen in consecutive sessions, exhibiting a classic sell-the-news pattern. The copper sector broadly weighed on sentiment, with Southern Copper down 1.7%, TREKOR METALS down 1.6%, and Ero Copper down 1.45%.

On the operational front, management outlined a target of extracting 300 million pounds of copper via leaching at its U.S. operations by year-end, while the Grasberg mine remains on track for restart with the Indonesian smelter on standby. Analysts maintain an average overweight rating with a mean price target of $73.47, implying approximately 23% upside from current levels.
