Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX)

The Base scenario represents the modal operating expectation, assigning a probability of 55.0% and projecting a target of $32.53, reflecting a return of -55.0% relative to $72.31 toward Fair value of $32.53. In this scenario, global copper demand expands steadily in line with secular electrification trends, while consensus revenue and earnings growth materializes as modeled across FY2026 and FY2027. Smelter commissioning concludes in an orderly manner, allowing capital expenditures to taper from peak build levels toward normalized sustaining maintenance outlays. While free cash flow expands meaningfully over the multi-year projection horizon, the prevailing share price of $72.31 already discounts growth well ahead of fundamental cash flow support, leaving upside constrained.

• Consensus revenue ramps in line with expectations across FY2026 and FY2027 as downstream smelting capacity comes online.
• Operating margins normalize near historical mid-cycle levels, balancing high-margin mine output against downstream processing.
• Capital expenditures taper gradually from peak transformation spending toward normalized sustaining maintenance levels.
• Indonesian export authorizations and IUPK regulatory operating conditions remain stable.
