FREEPORT-MCMORAN INC (FCX) Form 10-Q — Aug 6, 2026
Freeport-McMoRan reported Q2 2026 net income attributable to common stockholders of $984 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, up 27% from $772 million, or $0.53, a year earlier, on revenues of $7.0 billion versus $7.6 billion. Higher realized prices did the heavy lifting, with copper at $6.17 per pound, gold at $4,520 per ounce and molybdenum at $28.75 per pound, each roughly 36-37% above year-ago levels. Volumes fell sharply as PT Freeport Indonesia ramps up the Grasberg Block Cave mine after the September 2025 mud rush incident, and unit net cash costs rose to $1.97 per pound from $1.13, including $0.40 per pound of idle facility charges.
