Freeport-McMoRan Inc. is facing significant financial strain after a fatal accident at its Grasberg mine, prompting a 50 million-pound reduction in its copper production outlook for 2026 and a staggering 38.5% year-over-year plunge in copper output. The company's stock is now trading around 22.6% below its estimated fair value of $110, despite reporting a full-year net income of $2.2 billion that exceeded expectations. Operational and safety risks remain high, casting doubt on the company’s long-term outlook even as plans for a phased mine restart are underway next quarter.
