Carlos De Alba has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, primarily centered around Freeport-McMoRan’s strategic operational developments and favorable market conditions. The company has successfully restarted operations at key mining sites, Big Gossan and Deep MLZ Mines, which contribute significantly to its output in Indonesia. This move aligns with the company’s earlier plans and signals a positive trajectory for production capabilities.
Moreover, the phased restart of the Grasberg Block Cave is scheduled to begin in 2026, which is expected to enhance production further. The company’s proactive approach in addressing safety and operational recommendations from the Indonesian government also supports a positive outlook. These strategic initiatives, coupled with a robust reserve life and a favorable market environment, underpin Carlos De Alba’s optimistic Buy rating for Freeport-McMoRan.
