Mixed Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

Freeport-McMoRan reported second-quarter 2026 net income attributable to common stock of $984 million, or $0.68 per share, up from $772 million, or $0.53 per share, a year earlier. Revenue fell to $7,029 million from $7,582 million and operating income fell to $2,003 million from $2,432 million, as copper sales dropped due to lower output at the Grasberg mine in Indonesia. Shareholders also face after-tax charges of $96 million tied to the September 2025 mud rush incident at PTFI.
