Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE:FCX) shares are trading higher after BofA Securities analyst Lawson Winder upgraded the stock to Buy (from Neutral) with a price target of $59.

The bullish stance was due to expected higher quality copper leverage, robust and rising free cash flow, and material gold revenue (15% of the total).

Transition to Underground Mining

The analyst’s rating reflects the company’s successful transition to underground, block cave mining at Grasberg, more normalized copper production in the future and value-enhancing growth options, including low-grade leaching.

Positive Outlook on Metals

The BofA Commodities team is now materially more bullish on gold prices and gave a constructive outlook on copper given robust energy transition demand and constrained supply. The analyst estimates FY24 average price for gold to increase by 17% to $2,317 per ounce (/oz), silver to rise 14% to $26.5/oz, and copper to be higher by 8% to $9,321 per tonne (/t) or $4.23 per pound (/lb).

Earnings Estimates

The analyst estimates EPS of $1.43 in FY24, $2.39 in FY25 and $2.45 in FY26 for the company.

Investment Opportunities

Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Exchange Traded Concepts Trust Optica Rare Earths & Critical Materials ETF (NYSE:CRIT) and VanEck Green Metals ETF (NYSE:GMET).

Current Price Action

Price Action: FCX shares are up 2.02% at $51.01 on the last check Tuesday.

It is crucial for investors to consider diversification and risk management strategies when investing in this sector.
