Freeport-McMoRan Stock Eases Back After Record-Breaking Run

Freeport-McMoRan's stock has cooled down slightly from its recent highs after a record-breaking run, trading at $78.06 on August 28, 2026, down 0.62% from the prior close of $78.42.

The company's Q2 2026 earnings beat expectations, with adjusted earnings per share coming in at $0.74, beating consensus forecasts by $0.15 per share.
