We recently published 10 Trending Stocks Moving These Days. Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE:FCX) is one of the trending stocks moving these days.

Steven Grasso, the CEO of Grasso Global, said in a recent program on CNBC that he likes Freeport-McMoRan.

“I’m going to finish where we started. I’m going to go with Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE:FCX). We talked about copper. I’m long it—I’m staying long. And who knows, maybe Lutnick (US Commerce Secretary) announces something.”
 

Diamond Hill Large Cap Concentrated Fund stated the following regarding Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE:FCX) in its Q4 2024 investor letter:

“Among our bottom individual contributors in Q4 were HCA Healthcare and Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE:FCX). Copper-focused mining company Freeport-McMoRan faced declining copper prices amid a generally challenging macroeconomic environment, including a strong US dollar, ongoing US-China trade tensions, the potential for increased tariffs under President-elect Trump’s administration and general post-election uncertainty.”
