Freeport-McMoRan демонстрирует смешанную фундаментальную картину. С одной стороны, компания имеет высокие мультипликаторы, такие как P/E (42.36), что указывает на возможную переоцененность по сравнению со средней по отрасли. Однако, несмотря на высокие показатели, наблюдается положительная динамика по выручке и чистой прибыли, а также относительно низкое соотношение долга к капиталу (0.29), что является положительным знаком. Дивидендная доходность снижается, что может вызвать опасения у инвесторов. Показатели рентабельности, такие как ROE и ROA, ниже медианных значений по отрасли, что также указывает на некоторые проблемы с эффективностью. В то же время уровень операционной маржи (26.73) остается высоким, что говорит о способности компании генерировать прибыль. Общая картина указывает на то, что, хотя Freeport-McMoRan имеет сильные позиции в некоторых областях, высокая оценка по мультипликаторам и низкие показатели рентабельности могут вызвать необходимость пересмотра целевой цены в сторону снижения.

Soaring crude oil prices are boosting inflation expectations, pushing bond yields higher, and weighing on stocks. WTI crude oil jumped to a 2-week high on Tuesday after the New York Times reported that President Trump is not satisfied with Iran’s latest proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war, which includes postponing nuclear negotiations. Mr. Trump has said any deal must include agreements to curb Iran’s nuclear activities. The 10-year T-note yield climbed to a 3-week high of 4.38% on Tuesday.

WTI crude oil prices (CLM26) rose by more than +3% on Tuesday as the US and Iran are locked in a battle for control of the Strait of Hormuz, with both sides blocking the waterway to gain leverage during an extended ceasefire. The Strait of Hormuz remains essentially closed, threatening to deepen the global energy crisis. The ongoing blockade could exacerbate global oil and fuel shortages, as about a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas transits through the strait. Goldman Sachs estimates that crude output in the Persian Gulf has been curtailed by about 14.5 million bpd, or more than 50%, so far in April, and that the current disruption has drawn down nearly 500 million bbl from global crude stockpiles, which could hit a billion bbl by June.

Mr. Tillis views the investigation into Fed Chair Powell as an attempt to force the Fed to cut interest rates. The Senate Banking Committee is due to vote on Mr. Warsh’s appointment this Wednesday and then send the nomination to the full Senate for a vote.

AI Fears and Surging Crude Oil Prices Weigh on Stocks

Teck Resources TECK reported first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.28, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 72 cents. The bottom-line figure marked a 207% year-over-year surge driven by record copper sales, higher prices and increased by-product revenues.
Including one-time items, the company reported EPS of $1.22 in the quarter compared with the year-ago quarter’s earnings of 51 cents.
Teck Resources Ltd Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
TECK’s Revenues & Margins Climb on Higher Volumes & Prices
Teck Resources’ revenues rose 80% to $2.87 billion, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.232 billion. The copper segment remained the key growth driver, accounting for roughly 74% of total revenues and posting a 92% year-over-year increase.
Gross profit rose 22% year over year to CAD$1.715 billion ($1.25 billion). Gross margin was 43.5% compared with the year-ago quarter’s 23.4%.
Adjusted EBITDA was CAD$2.088 billion ($1.52 billion), which was up 92% compared with the year-earlier period, reflecting stronger realized pricing, higher volumes and increased by-product contribution. EBITDA margin expanded to 53% in the quarter under review from the year-ago quarter’s 40.5%.
Teck Resources’ Q1 Segment Performances
The Copper segment’s reported revenues of CAD2.903 billion ($2.119 billion), up 125% year over year, are attributed to higher copper prices and record sales volumes.
Copper production rose 32% to about 140,000 tons in the quarter, aided by improved output at QB, higher throughput and grades at Highland Valley Copper and improved grades at Antamina. Production at QB was 55,500 tons, a 31% increase from the last year quarter. Copper sales increased 46% to around 155,100 tons. QB delivered record quarterly copper sales of 70,300 tons, exceeding production as prior inventory was shipped. The copper segment’s gross profit surged 295% year over year to CAD$1.356 billion ($0.99 billion), backed by higher copper prices and volumes.
The Zinc segment’s net revenues rose 33% year over year to CAD$1.04 billion ($0.76 billion). The segment’s gross profit was CAD$359 million ($262 million), 86% higher than the last year quarter. Higher zinc prices and higher by-product revenues at both Red Dog and Trail operations were offset by lower zinc sales volumes from Red Dog due to the timing of sales.
Operationally, refined zinc production at Trail Operations rose 26.6% year over year to 73,800 tons as the zinc electrolytic plant ran at full capacity for most of the quarter. At Red Dog, zinc in concentrate production declined to 106,200 tons from 116,800 tons in the year-ago quarter on lower grades, consistent with the mine plan. Zinc in concentrate sales volumes at Red Dog was 42% lower on a year-over-year basis at 52,400 tons, but above the company’s expected range of 40,000-50,000 tons.
Teck Resources’ Cash Flow & Balance Sheet
Teck Resources generated CAD$1.024 billion ($0.75 billion) of cash from operating activities in 2025 against a use of C$0.515 billion ($0.376 billion) in the year-ago quarter. The improvement reflected higher profitability owing to improved commodity prices and copper sales volumes as well as lower smelter processing charges.
Due to the proposed merger with Anglo American plc, the company did not repurchase shares in the quarter.
The company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of C$5.427 billion ($3.96 billion). As of April 22, 2026, management stated that liquidity was at C$9.8 billion ($7.15 billion), including C$5.7 billion ($4.16 billion) of cash.
TECK Maintains Guidance for 2026
Teck Resources reaffirmed its 2026 outlook, with copper production expected at 455,000–530,000 tons. Zinc production is projected at 410,000–460,000 tons, with refined zinc at 190,000–230,000 tons. For the second quarter, Red Dog zinc sales are forecast at 30,000–40,000 tons.
Update on Pending TECK and Anglo American plc Merger
Teck Resources entered into a merger agreement with Anglo American plc to form the Anglo Teck group in September 2025. The combined entity, Anglo Teck, will derive more than 70% of its exposure from copper and rank among the top five global producers.
Within four years of completion, it is expected to yield around $800 million in annual pre-tax synergies. The merger is also expected to generate an additional $1.4 billion in EBITDA synergies from 2030 to 2049 by optimizing adjacent assets, Collahuasi and Quebrada Blanca, through operational integration. The transaction has so far received shareholder approval and clearance under Canada’s Investment Canada Act, with remaining regulatory approvals pending.
TECK Stock’s Price Performance & Zacks Rank
The company’s shares have gained 70.8% in the past year against the industry’s 57% decline.

A Look at How Teck Resources’ Peer Performed in Q1
Freeport-McMoRan Inc. FCX recorded earnings of 57 cents per share for first-quarter 2026, marking a 138% increase from 24 cents in the year-ago quarter and surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 47 cents per share. Freeport-McMoRan’s revenues rose roughly 9% year over year to $6.23 billion. Higher prices for copper, gold and molybdenum helped offset the impact of lower volumes. The figure surpassed the consensus estimate of $5.61 billion.
Copper production declined around 24% year over year to 662 million pounds in the reported quarter. The downside primarily resulted from lower operating rates at PTFI following the September 2025 mud rush incident. Sales declined around 25% year over year to 657 million pounds of copper. The company sold 121,000 ounces of gold, down around 6% year over year. FCX also sold 22 million pounds of molybdenum, a 5.5% dip year over year, in the reported quarter.

Copper production fell around 23.7% year over year to 662 million pounds in the reported quarter.
Consolidated sales also fell approximately 24.7% year over year, reaching 657 million pounds of copper.

This includes an estimated 690 million pounds of copper, 140,000 ounces of gold, and 22 million pounds of molybdenum expected to be sold in the second quarter.
FCX’s guidance revisions reflect timing adjustments to the Grasberg Block Cave ramp-up schedule.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

What's Next for Freeport-McMoRan?
While Freeport-McMoRan has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Freeport-McMoRan was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.58 on $6.6 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $2.54 on $28.05 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Mining - Non Ferrous is currently in the bottom 37% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Another stock from the same industry, Lundin Mining (LUNMF), has yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026. The results are expected to be released on May 6.
This base metals mining company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.28 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +154.6%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Lundin Mining's revenues are expected to be $1.12 billion, up 16% from the year-ago quarter.
