Deutsche Bank Upgrades Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) to Buy; More Positive on Stock After 2 Strong Quarters
Deutsche Bank upgrades Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE: FCX) to Buy. Price target increased from $72 to $100.
Deutsche analyst says, "After 2 quarters of FCX handily beating ours (and consensus estimates) we are now reflecting a more “fully loaded” volume outlook. This has led us to significantly revise earnings upwards and derive a new 12-month Price Target of US$100/share which has led us to upgrade FCX to a Buy. Re-instated annual cash dividend of US$0.60/share has higher to go in our view...While our EPS estimates (US$8.49) are 42% higher and 76% higher than Bloomberg consensus of US$5.99 and US$7.15 we believe consensus has yet to play “catch up” given rate of recovery in FCX’s results."
