BMO Capital lowered the firm’s price target on Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) to $47 from $48 but keeps an Outperform rating on the shares.

BMO adds however that while the updated production outlook was a bit lower-than-expected, it was explainable, and while some restart risks remain, execution should be key.
