This summary was created by AI, based on 2 opinions in the last 12 months.

Experts have mixed opinions about Southern Copper Corp (SCCO-N). One expert points out that while SCCO is more expensive and less efficient than its competitors, the overall copper market is expected to thrive due to significant demand, predicting a doubling of copper prices over the next decade. Despite this optimism, the other expert expresses caution, noting that SCCO has recently seen a notable price increase—up by 3.38% in a single day—and that its price-to-earnings ratio is no longer attractive. Additionally, SCCO's dividend is relatively low at 1.8%, which may not appeal to income-focused investors. The stock's performance this year, showing a 25% increase, suggests that it may be too late for new investors to enter. Overall, while there are positive long-term signals regarding copper demand, current valuation metrics raise concerns over the timing for investment in SCCO.

DON'T BUY

It is more expensive and less effective in terms of operations than others. Copper has done well and should continue to do so since there is huge demand. It should double over the next ten years. He owns Freeport-McMoRan in the space which produces one million pounds out of the US and has other production, for example its mine in Indonesia.

DON'T BUY

He doesn't mind this stock, but copper itself has run up. Also, SCCO jumped 3.38% today and its PE is no longer cheap and pays only a 1.8% dividend. SCOO is up 25% this year. Too late to enter this.

HOLD
A copper stock. Stick with it. Copper is a barometer of this country and Americans are using a lot of it.
PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Dec 13/12, Down 21.92%) Tried to break out and failed. He will cut and run if he doesn’t get some action by the end of quarter.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 14/12. Down 30.62%.) Material stocks have not been a great place to be but he thinks this will work this year. This is a low-cost copper producer with the longest life reserves. Good yield.

DON'T BUY

Southern Copper (SCCO-N) or Teck Resources (TCK.B-T)? Chart shows a downtrend from the beginning of this year with a possible level of support at around $25. He would wait for a consolidation and a breakout on this.

TOP PICK

Largest copper company in the world in terms of reserves. Will feed China with what they need for the infrastructure build out. The parent company needs the dividend so it is safe.

TOP PICK

BUY
One of the major copper producers in the world. It wouldn't be beyond the realm of possibility that it could be taken out.
