Southern Copper Corporation is embarking on an ambitious $20.5 billion investment plan over the next decade, even as it anticipates a 3% decline in copper production through 2027. The company reported a strong third-quarter 2025 earnings of $1.35 per share, beating analyst expectations, and achieved a year-over-year sales increase of 15% to $3.38 billion. However, the firm has faced production challenges, including a drop in copper output in 2025, and forecasts a further reduction to around 911,400 tons in 2026, though it aims to ramp up production to about 1.6 million tons by 2033.
“BofA said the company’s valuation has become 'difficult to justify' following the recent rally in its shares. The firm expects Southern Copper’s production to decline by 3% through 2027.”
“It raised its price target on the stock to $175 from $162.”
