Southern Copper's Strong Market Position and Growth Prospects Justify Buy RatingOur fireside chat with SCCO's CFO Raul Jacob confirmed the operational strength of the company and progress in its Tia Maria copper mine development in Peru. Management appears positive on the outlook for copper but is monitoring the tariff situation, and the company has flexibility to reallocate sales. FY25 prod guidance (broadly flat) looks conservative to us, and we see some upside to it. We reiterate our Buy call on SCCO and US$130 PT. Copper tariffs – Flexibility to reallocate sales volumes. SCCO looks optimistic about the copper market, expecting demand to grow by 3-4% in 2025, with tighter inventories and potential increased consumption from China in the coming months. Management is monitoring the debate of US tariffs on copper imports.

Sell Rating on Southern Copper Due to Unattractive Valuation and Growth ConcernsWe calculate that FCFE came in at $1.2bn for SCCO. We maintain our U/P on SCCO given unattractive valuation (11.3x EV/EBITDA, FCF yield of ~4% 2025). EBITDA miss amid lower copper volumes SCCO reported 4Q24 adjusted EBITDA of $1.5bn and missed BBG consensus by 8.5%, and was 13.1% below our estimate given lower copper volumes and higher-than- expected cash cost/lb. EBITDA dropped 10.6% q/q mostly on lower copper and molybdenum volumes and slightly lower copper and molybdenum prices, offsetting higher zinc and silver volumes and prices, which were up q/q. Cash cost/lb ex-byproduct revenue came at $2.33/lb (+18.9% q/q and +4.2% y/y) and were above our forecast by 18.9%. Cash cost/lb net of byproducts came in at $0.96/lb, up 26.8% q/q and above ours.
