Freeport McMoran Copper & Gold (FCX) is experiencing a mix of bullish and cautious opinions among analysts. Many experts emphasize the strong demand for copper, particularly driven by trends such as electrification and data center growth, while some highlight potential headwinds due to economic uncertainties and recent operational challenges, including a tragic mudslide at a major mine. The stock has shown strong technical patterns, and several analysts see potential for substantial upside in the price, with targets as high as $100, backed by strong volumes and significant cash flow generation. However, concerns about global inventory levels and rate hikes loom over the outlook, with some experts advocating for a cautious approach or diversifying investments. Overall, long-term sentiment remains optimistic, particularly regarding copper's role in the evolving energy landscape.

DON'T BUY

Doesn’t love copper at this time. A little cautious with the cyclicality of it. A high beta stock that is going to trade up and down with the Chinese market.

SELL

You want to own commodity stocks when the commodity is going up. This is a pure copper company and the price is going down. The reason to own it disappears. It’s dead money at best.

COMMENT

Gold is a good diversifier and plays a role in any good equity portfolio but be cautious and don't have too much exposure. He prizes geopolitical stability and certainty so prefers something like Barrick (ABX-T) instead of this company.

TOP PICK

Huge copper and gold producer and basically supply the Chinese market. Has had big pullback. Good trading stock. Had blowout earnings.

HOLD

Likes the copper market. This is his top holding in copper. Great growth company and the valuation is good. Undervalued.

TOP PICK

Largest pure play copper name around. Almost like an ETF for copper. Diversified in terms of its assets and mines. It’s cheap compared to ABX. There is considerable upside for pure play copper names.

BUY

Likes the copper space. Copper has come down in response to some of the fears of the softness, but longer-term this is a great name to own. Over summer, it will be a bit wobbly because cyclicals do not do well in the summer.

TOP PICK

Largest copper producer on the planet. Copper production remains in deficit in the future. Tremendous upside. A very good way to play copper.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 2/10. Down 5.14%.) The marquee stock on copper. Still a hold.

COMMENT

Prefers BHP Billiton (BHP-N), which has no debt and more integrated assets. (See Top Picks.)

SELL

Wonderful company but he is now almost out of it. Will make a lot of money in the next little while but he wonders if copper is going to roll over a little. If you own don’t be afraid to take profits.

BUY

Copper. Gone from $1 to roughly $4 a pound. If you think copper is going significantly higher, you want a company with highest costs and worst balance sheets where earnings will be most sensitive to higher prices. But if you believe copper will stay where it is (or fall), you want lowest costs and cleanest balance sheets such as this, which is dirt-cheap.

TOP PICK

“The” copper company globally. (Copper/gold.) Low cost producer. Wouldn’t be surprised if someone doesn’t take a run at them as an acquisition.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Sep 3/09, Up 6% one month) Covered Calls.

DON'T BUY
