Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) stock slides after earnings as Grasberg restart timing dominates the story
Freeport-McMoRan shares fell 2.9% to $58.85 after hours Thursday despite better-than-expected Q4 profits, as investors focused on a 2026 sales outlook weighted toward the year’s second half due to the Grasberg mine restart. The company reported net income of $406 million and sold 709 million pounds of copper, but traders remain wary of timing risks and recent declines in copper prices.
