Wells Fargo initiated coverage of Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) with an Overweight rating and $47 price target as part of a broader research note launching firm coverage on Mining names. The firm anticipates a tight 2026 copper mkt as a result of production disappointments from large mines, including QB2, Kamoa-Kakula, and Grasberg, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
