Freeport-McMoran stock price 2026–2030: scenariosHow are the stock price scenarios calculated? Bear, base and bull prices for the years ahead: the analysts' EPS estimates times the lowest, average and highest P/E of the stock today and at its last five year ends, or of its peers.
If Freeport-McMoran's earnings grow at the 40.9% a year analysts expect to FY2028, then 15.0% a year, it would earn about 6.47 a share in FY2030. At the P/E it has traded at over the last five years (14.2 to 33.3) that is 92.20 to 215.29 a share, or 162.32 at its average P/E of 25.1. This is arithmetic on the analysts' estimates, not a prediction.
| Fiscal year | EPS | Bear | Base | Bull |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | 3.13 | 44.59 | 78.50 | 104.12 |
| FY2027 | 4.32 | 61.59 | 108.44 | 143.83 |
| FY2028 | 4.89 | 69.71 | 122.74 | 162.79 |
| FY2029 (extrapolated) | 5.63 | 80.17 | 141.15 | 187.21 |
| FY2030 (extrapolated) | 6.47 | 92.20 | 162.32 | 215.29 |
Each year's EPS is the analysts' consensus to FY2028; the years after grow 15.0% a year (the analysts' growth, at most 15%). Bear, base and bull apply the lowest, average and highest P/E of today and the last five fiscal year ends, leaving out any above 60, the mark of a year of collapsed earnings (14.2, 25.1, 33.3).
Is Freeport-McMoran stock undervalued or overvalued?How does Arincen work out a stock's fair value? Fair value is our estimate of a share's price at the P/E the company usually trades at, with a low to high range around it.
Freeport-McMoran's P/E of 24.9 is below the middle of its 5-year range (7.2 to 47.7, median 28.5). Analysts do not expect slower growth than in recent years, so it is cheaper than its usual level. Buyers pay less for each point of growth than usual: a PEG of 0.5 on expected growth against 1.0 on its median P/E and past five years' growth. Growing 47.7% a year, Freeport-McMoran earns a P/E of 25.0 at a PEG of 1 (at most 25): × the next twelve months' EPS of 4.17, a fair value of 104.19; the price, 59.15, is 43.2% below it. Its forward P/E, on the consensus for FY2026, is 18.9.
Fair value on growth is a P/E equal to the EPS growth analysts expect a year (a PEG of 1, at most 25) times the earnings per share of the next twelve months; the ends of the bar are a PEG of 0.75 and 1.25 (a P/E of 18.8 and 31.3). The price against its P/E range
