On July 28, Freeport-McMoRan declined 3.44% in regular trading, trading at $60.53/share, with turnover of $93.18 million. The stock fell alongside a broad copper sector selloff, with post-Q2 earnings profit-taking pressure persisting.

The copper sector experienced widespread declines, with peers TREKOR METALS down 4.51%, Southern Copper Corp down 3.29%, and Ero Copper down 3.32%. The selling pressure comes despite Freeport-McMoRan reporting strong Q2 results on July 23, with adjusted EPS of $0.74 beating the consensus estimate of $0.59 by over 25%, and revenue of $7.03 billion surpassing expectations of $6.71 billion. Net income rose 37% year-over-year from $0.54 per share.

Post-earnings, multiple institutions adjusted price targets. Goldman Sachs trimmed its target slightly to $73 while maintaining a Buy rating, RBC raised its target to $73, and Barclays set its target at $80 with an Overweight rating. The analyst consensus mean target of $73.47 implies approximately 18% upside from current levels, with an overall Overweight rating maintained.
