May 8, 2026mda_quarterlyFreeport-McMoRan reported first-quarter 2026 net income of $881 million, a substantial increase from $352 million in Q1 2025, primarily driven by higher realized copper and gold prices and a $0.7 billion insurance settlement related to the September 2025 Grasberg mud rush incident. This gain partially offset significantly lower copper and gold sales volumes from its Indonesian operations. Consolidated copper sales guidance for 2026 was revised downward to 3.078 billion pounds and gold to 650 thousand ounces, reflecting a delayed ramp-up of the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine, now anticipated to reach full capacity by late 2027 due to required material handling system modifications. Consolidated unit net cash costs for copper are projected at $1.95 per pound for 2026, higher than previous estimates, attributed to reduced Indonesian volumes and increased energy and consumable costs, partly influenced by the Middle East conflict. The company expects $1.3 billion in non-inventoriable idle facility and restoration costs for Grasberg in 2026. FCX continues to pursue organic growth, with leaching initiatives in the U.S. and South America targeting 300 million pounds of copper by 2026, and potential major expansions at El Abra in Chile and Bagdad in the U.S. Capital expenditures are forecast at $4.3 billion for 2026, with $3.0 billion allocated to major projects, including Grasberg underground development and Kucing Liar. Copper demand fundamentals remain robust, supported by global electrification and AI growth.
Feb 13, 2026businessFreeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX) is a leading international metals company, positioned as one of the world's largest publicly traded copper producers. Its core products are copper, gold, and molybdenum, extracted from large, long-lived assets with significant proven and probable mineral reserves. Key operations include the Grasberg minerals district in Indonesia, the Morenci district in the U.S., and the Cerro Verde operation in Peru, which collectively generated 70% of 2025 copper production. As of December 31, 2025, reserves totaled 112.3 billion pounds of copper, 20.6 million ounces of gold, and 3.5 billion pounds of molybdenum. In 2025, FCX produced 3.4 billion pounds of copper, 1.0 million ounces of gold, and 92 million pounds of molybdenum. The company anticipates favorable copper demand driven by global electrification initiatives, urbanization, data centers, artificial intelligence growth, and increased defense spending. FCX is pursuing organic growth through expansion and technology enhancements in its U.S. and South American operations, targeting 300 million pounds of annual copper production by 2026, up from a 240 million pound run rate in late 2025. A significant operational risk in 2025 was the September mud rush at Grasberg, impacting Indonesian operations, with a phased restart of the Grasberg Block Cave anticipated in Q2 2026. FCX's financial results are highly sensitive to fluctuations in copper, gold, and molybdenum market prices.
