Freeport-McMoRan

This remains a compelling value at current trading levels, and copper pricing has been on fire. Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX) is the world’s largest publicly traded copper and molybdenum producer, and the eighth largest gold producer. Its key operating and development assets are in Indonesia, North and South America and Africa.

Highly leveraged toward copper mining, the company could be a big player in a scenario of rebuilding and repairing old and battered projects and would clearly benefit from stronger demand and higher prices for industrial commodities.

The BofA Securities has a price target of $40, and the posted consensus target is just $34.94. Freeport-McMoRan stock closed at $17.77 a share on Friday.
