Freeport Mc-Moran (FCX) - Copper Play

Seven Of Nine

Nuovo forumer
Con il Copper sui massimi mi pareva giusto aprire un thread su FCX, la regina dei titoli del settore. Il titolo ovviamente è in trend e continuerà ad esserlo seguendo il metallo industriale color rossiccio.



Il Copper ha rotto i massimi multiannuali, non sono bruscolini :cool:



Nonostante FCX abbia raddoppiato di valore da Giugno, non c'è sopravvalutazione eccessiva, ma solo l'adeguamento ai prezzi del "sottostante". Ora, benchè una correzione è sempre possibile; con il double-dip evitato, fragilità dei debiti sovrani e innondanzioni di liquidità delle banche centrali, il long-term trend sembra segnato.
 
Copper sempre più su, FCX ha il suo massimo storico a 126.64$, a mio avviso non avrà problemi a raggiungerlo. Sarei contento però se stornasse un po' prima di arrivarci cosi da trovare un buon punto d'entrata..

Copper in New York Climbs to a Record on Global Recovery Outlook

Copper jumped to a record in New York on optimism the global economic recovery is gaining momentum and as investors sought commodities as alternatives to declining currencies.
The metal for March-delivery on the Comex in New York gained as much as 0.8 percent to $4.3960 a pound, the highest ever for a most-active contract, surpassing the previous peak of $4.3790 a pound reached yesterday. It traded at $4.3815 a pound by 8:32 a.m. Singapore time
 
FCX ha battuto le stime, sell on news su volumi produttivi previsti in calo.

Freeport cashes in on higher metals prices
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. said Thursday it rode soaring metals prices to a 60% surge in fourth-quarter profit but also warned that demand is weakening.
Shares of the Phoenix-based miner declined with the broader market to drop almost 4% to $110.90. Still, over the past year, the stock has added a third of its value.
Freeport, which operates mines in the Americas as well as Africa and Indonesia, posted a profit of $1.5 billion, or $3.25 a share, up from $971 million, or $2.15 a share, in the year-ago period.
Commodity prices start to hurtRising commodity prices might well reflect growing global demand as the recovery gets under way. But inflation in emerging markets is forcing central banks to slam on the brakes, while, in the developed world, it's acting like a tax on consumers.
Total revenue rose 21.5%, to $5.6 billion. Freeport’s average copper prices rose 31% to $4.18 a pound while gold prices jumped to $1,398 an ounce from $1,115 a year ago.
Analysts surveyed by FactSet Research had expected, on average, profit of $2.97 a share on revenue of $5.35 billion.
Freeport said it expects copper sales to edge lower this year to 3.85 billion pounds from 3.9 billion in 2010.
Gold sales are seen dropping to 1.4 million ounces from 1.9 million a year

Analizzando il bilancio ufficiale: NASDAQ | SEC Filing Si vede come il 2010 sia stato un anno ottimo per FCX. Generati 4.4 miliardi di Free Cash Flow, indebitamento ridotto. Capitalizzazione attuale 52.2 miliardi. P / FCF 11.9. Con la prossima diminuzione dell'indebitamento, consideranto che il mercato è all'inizio deve ancora incorporare la potenzialità del nuovo ciclo economico può arrivare a quotare 15 volte il FCF, quindi non è ciclicicamente sopravvalutata; l'apprezzamento del titolo tuttavia ha bisogno di crescita dei flussi. FCX come per altri titoli minerari dipende dal prezzo del rame, ipotizzando un calo della produzione del 5% e un rialzo nei costi del 6,5% (ipotesi pessimistica), FCX riuscirà a migliorare i risultati del 2010 se il prezzo del rame medio durante l'anno non scenderà sotto i 4$. E' mia opinione che il titolo FCX potrà superare nei prossimi mesi i massimi annuali a 122.69$, attualmente sta a 110.90$, il titolo è molto volatile, spero di trovare un buon punto di entrata su eventuali ribassi. ;)
 
Buona la trimestrale di FCX, che c'è anche per uno special dividend!:)
