Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold (FCX) is experiencing mixed sentiments from analysts, driven by its positioning in the copper market and the impact of recent events like the mudslide at its main mine. The company benefits from strong demand for copper, particularly as electrification trends rise, and has gold byproducts that are selling well amid elevated prices. However, concerns linger regarding supply, global inventories, and the effects of tariffs, particularly in relation to China’s purchasing behavior. Some experts see the current price as a reasonable entry point despite short-term volatility and predict long-term growth, while others advise caution due to recent price fluctuations and uncertainties in the market. Overall, analysts express a cautious optimism about FCX's potential in future markets.

BUY

Has broken out of a multi year consolidation. Had some operational problems a couple of years ago that are getting resolved, so the earnings are getting much better. A pure play on copper and gold.

TOP PICK

A great play on copper and gold. Have an enormous resource. Pays 2.2%. There's often a tie between energy and the metal stocks. Metals have lagged the energy to date, but have really started to put on some strength in the last little while.

TOP PICK

Had some difficulties last year with a major mine and have now come through that. Has traded sideways and looks like it is launching into another move. Has had a pickup in earnings/revenues. Will be paying a special dividend at the end of March. Has a nice yield.

HOLD

FMV is $69 which is probably due as much to the copper as to gold.

BUY

Feels gold will go higher. Also a copper play and the demand for copper is greater than the supply.

BUY

The US$ is the single most important linch pin in the market. Likes the precious metals.

WEAK BUY

Produced copper and gold. Has political risk attached. Shortage of copper. Hording of copper in certain regions. Come off recently. Like the sector. Pay attention to Chinese economy.

BUY

Had been stopped out but have gotten back in. The company looks quite strong. Their strength is in copper and gold. The second leg of the base metals bull market may be getting underway.

TOP PICK

During the summer, there will be a reason for gold to rise again. The stock is very volatile and moves with gold.

HOLD

As investors get more and more confident in the global recovery, this should do well.

PAST TOP PICK

(A top pick Dec 3/03. Down 10%.) Got stopped out. Would consider buying back. Huge reserves in copper and gold.

PAST TOP PICK

(A past top pick Nov 17/03. Up 4%.) Have pared back. The Company had a rock slide. Will buy on dips.

BUY

Gold and copper look pretty good. Have the biggest mine in the world in Papua, New Guinea. A good way to play Gold and copper.

TOP PICK

(A past top pick Nov 3/03. Up 16%.) Benefits from a weak US dollar. They have virtually the richest deposit of copper and gold in the world.
