Southern Copper shares came under pressure as analysts warned that the stock looks expensive, even though the company boasts low production costs, strong reserves, and a steady dividend. The cautious stance has weighed on sentiment, signaling that some on Wall Street see limited upside from current levels.
Barclays initiated coverage with an Underweight rating and a $148 price target, arguing the valuation premium is stretched. UBS nudged its target up to $145 but maintained a Sell rating, reinforcing the broadly bearish view among analysts.
