On July 31, Southern Copper Corp fell 3.02% in regular trading, trading at $179.35/share, with turnover of $13.28 million. The stock had rebounded over 4% the prior session before resuming its downward trajectory.

On the news front, CICC recently downgraded Southern Copper Corp from Buy to Neutral, maintaining a target price of $180.70, corresponding to 12.9x EV/EBITDA and 21.9x P/E, citing limited upside potential for copper prices. With the current stock price approaching the target price range, valuation recovery momentum appears insufficient.

The broader copper sector experienced systematic selling pressure. Within the Copper sector, Freeport-McMoRan fell 3.52%, TREKOR METALS fell 6.71%, and Ero Copper fell 3.18%, reflecting industry-wide weakness. The rating downgrade combined with sector-wide retreat formed dual headwinds on the stock, extending the bearish pattern that emerged earlier in the week when the stock declined nearly 7% over two consecutive sessions before a brief rebound.
