On September 1, Freeport-McMoRan fell 3.01% in regular trading, trading at $73.56/share, with turnover of $509 million. The decline came as the broader copper sector faced collective selling pressure, compounded by lingering concerns over the company's Grasberg mine disruption.

On the news front, the company had previously lowered its full-year copper and gold production guidance following a mudslide incident at the Grasberg minerals district in Indonesia, which caused significant operational interruptions. The production cut outlook has continued to weigh on market sentiment. Additionally, UBS Asset Management recently trimmed its position in the company, intensifying institutional outflows and adding to selling pressure.

Notably, the company's Q2 results were solid, with adjusted EPS of $0.74 beating the $0.59 consensus estimate by over 25%, while revenue of $7.03 billion also topped the $6.71 billion forecast. Management indicated the Indonesian smelter remains on standby for a swift restart and targets 300 million pounds of copper from U.S. leaching operations by year-end. Sector-wide, Southern Copper fell 2.93%, Ero Copper dropped 4.9%, TREKOR METALS declined 5.59%, and Idaho Copper Corporation lost 3.7%, reflecting broad copper sector weakness.
