Latest Earnings Insight

As Freeport-McMoRan approaches its earnings announcement on October 23, all eyes are on the company's ability to capitalize on the recent uptick in copper prices, a crucial factor for this mining giant. With an EPS estimate of $0.41 and a revenue forecast of $6.70 billion, the market is keenly observing whether Freeport-McMoRan can exceed these expectations, especially with the whisper number hinting at a more optimistic $0.51 per share.

Dec 31, 2025 • Insider Monkey SOMEWHAT-BEARISH
Here’s Why Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) Slipped in Q3
Diamond Hill Capital's "Mid Cap Strategy" Q3 2025 investor letter highlighted Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX) as a bottom contributor, primarily due to a significant mudslide at its Grasberg Block Caves mine in Indonesia. This incident is expected to impact Q3 production and delay a return to pre-incident levels until 2027. Despite the challenges, the company's shares gained 35.01% over the last 52 weeks, closing at $51.41 per share on December 30, 2025.

Here’s Why Diamond Hill Mid-Cap Strategy Sold Fidelity National Information Services. (FIS)
Diamond Hill Capital's Mid-Cap Strategy sold its position in Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) during the third quarter of 2025 due to concerns over slowing revenue growth and management's execution. The investment management company highlighted that the financial services technology company showed little progress in improving free cash flow conversion and its longer-term growth prospects in a changing banking technology environment became questionable. Despite Fidelity National Information Services being held by 57 hedge funds, Diamond Hill's conviction lies in more promising AI stocks with higher return potential.

Southern Copper stock today: SCCO pares early jump as copper nears $13,000
Southern Copper (SCCO) saw a slight gain of 0.1% to $145.48, after earlier fluctuations, as copper prices neared $13,000 per metric ton due to supply concerns and potential tariffs. An analyst upgrade to "buy" also provided a company-specific boost, though broader market sentiment remains mixed. Traders are now monitoring upcoming economic data and copper tariff headlines as the year ends.

Everus Stock Up 31% This Past Year -- but One Major Holder Cut Exposure by $1.5 Million
Mountaineer Partners Management reduced its stake in Everus Construction Group by 36,374 shares, decreasing its position value by $1.46 million according to a November 14 SEC filing. Despite this, Everus Construction Group's stock is up 31% over the past year, outperforming the S&P 500, and the company recently posted record revenue and raised guidance. The fund's move is characterized as risk management rather than a loss of conviction, as Everus still represents a significant portion of its assets.
