Hudbay Minerals Reaches Final Settlement With All Plaintiffs In Three Civil Lawsuits Regarding Former Guatemala Operations

Shares of copper companies are trading higher following a report suggesting China will issue up to $284 billion of sovereign debt as part of a stimulus.

Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>) shares, among other metal and mining stocks, are moving higher Tuesday after China Central Bank announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/41007724/gold-breaks-records-on-chinas-policy-stimulus-mining-metal-stocks-exhibit-strongest-1-day-rally-in-2">new stimulus package.</a>
What Happened: The stimulus package includes cutting the reserve requirement ratio (RRR) by .5 percentage points and lowering both the loan prime rate and deposit rates by 0.2 to 0.25 percentage points.
In addition, the central bank cut the seven-day reverse repurchase rate to 1.5% and lowered the minimum down-payment ratio to 15%. The announcement of these economic measures comes amid a slowdown in China&#8217;s markets and could help support investment and support metals demand. 
Larry Hu, head of China economics at Macquarie Group Limited, told Bloomberg, "The purpose of today's briefing is to inject confidence into the market, judging by the fact that the authorities revealed measures in one go. The stimulus push will still need coordination from other policies — particularly follow-up policies from the fiscal side.&#8221;
Other copper related stocks that are trading higher following the bank&#8217;s announcement include Hudbay Minerals Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HBM#NYSE">HBM</a>) and Rio Tinto Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIO#NYSE">RIO</a>).
How To Buy Freeport-McMoRan Shares
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>)'s case, it is in the Materials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

Hudbay Minerals (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HBM#NYSE">HBM</a>) has secured the second-last permit to begin constructing its Copper World project in Arizona.
The Aquifer Protection Permit, granted by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, inches the company closer to opening Copper World, a project with the potential to be one of the largest domestic sources of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/copper" rel="noreferrer noopener">copper cathode</a>.
"Receiving the aquifer protection permit is a significant de-risking event for Copper World as it brings us one step closer to being fully permitted," <a target="_blank" href="https://hudbayminerals.com/investors/press-releases/press-release-details/2024/Hudbay-Receives-Aquifer-Protection-Permit-for-Copper-World/default.aspx" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> Hudbay's president and CEO Peter Kukielski.
Now read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40577535/bhp-reports-13-7b-profits-eyes-additional-copper-expansion" rel="noreferrer noopener">BHP Reports $13.7B Profits, Eyes Additional Copper Expansion</a>
The final hurdle before construction can commence is the acquisition of an air quality permit, which Kukielski expects to be completed by the end of the year. Then, Hudbay plans to conduct a definitive feasibility study by 2025 and seek a joint venture partner to share costs and expertise, ensuring the project is financially and operationally robust.
Copper World, located in Pima County, Arizona, around 30 miles southeast of Tucson, is set to be a transformative project for Hudbay and the U.S. copper industry.
The project, encompassing seven deposits discovered in 2021, is expected to produce 85,000 tons of copper annually over a 20-year mine life. This output would increase Hudbay's annual copper production by more than 50%, making Copper World the third-largest copper cathode producer in the United States once operational in 2029.
The company estimates that the project would contribute over $850 million in taxes throughout its mine life and create more than 400 direct jobs, alongside up to 3,000 indirect jobs.
While Hudbay's adjacent Rosemont project stalled in 2019 following a federal court ruling that cited concerns about its potential impact on federal lands and local water resources, Copper World's advantage is that it is primarily developed on private land.
In 2023, the U.S. <a target="_blank" href="https://pubs.usgs.gov/periodicals/mcs2024/mcs2024-copper.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">produced</a> approximately 1.1 million tons of recoverable copper. Thus, by adding 85,000 tons annually, Copper World could increase domestic production by about 8%, reinforcing the U.S. supply chain and reducing dependency on foreign sources—an increasingly important fact in a world where mineral development slowly becomes a matter of national security.

COPX: Copper Mining ETF A Hold Amid Commodity Price Slide

As industries evolve and economies expand, materials like gold, copper, and steel are key to driving progress. From infrastructure to innovative technologies, the materials industry is vital for global development. Thus, investors looking to capitalize on this growth could explore stable stocks Freeport-McMoRan (FCX), Nucor (NUE), and Hudbay Minerals (HBM). Read on… The materials industry has experienced robust growth, driven by increasing demand across key sectors like construction, technology, renewable energy and more. As infrastructure projects expand globally and urbanization accelerates, materials such as steel, copper, and gold are in high demand.
Against this backdrop, stocks of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/FCX/">FCX</a>), Nucor Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/NUE/">NUE</a>) and Hudbay Minerals Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/HBM/">HBM</a>) are in prime positions to benefit.
Gold, a symbol of financial stability, continues to be a top investment choice, especially amid economic uncertainty. Experts predict that gold prices could surge to <a href="https://www.goldmansachs.com/insights/articles/gold-predicted-to-climb-higher-than-expected-as-records-shatter">$3,000 per troy ounce</a> by 2025. Moreover, the jewelry sector also plays a significant role in this, as demand for gold continues to climb, contributing to its robust market performance.
Copper is another key driver for the materials sector's growth. The market for copper is expected to grow significantly. As the world pushes toward renewable energy, copper's role becomes even more vital. With prices expected to <a href="https://www.mining.com/copper-prices-to-hit-record-high-in-q4-2024-on-fed-cuts-and-china-stimulus-fastmarkets/">hit $10,265 per tonne</a> in the fourth quarter of 2024, it is poised for strong growth.
Furthermore, steel, the backbone of construction, continues to see immense demand. The U.S. Census Bureau reported <a href="https://www.census.gov/construction/c30/current/index.html">a 4.6% rise</a> in construction spending in September 2024, underscoring the booming sector. That said, steel is crucial for large-scale infrastructure projects, and this demand is set to continue.
Now, let us dive deep into the fundamentals of three materials stocks, starting with #3.
Stock #3: Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/FCX/">FCX</a>)
FCX is an international mining company with significant copper, gold, and molybdenum reserves. The company's three operational segments include Morenci, Cerro Verde and Grasberg (Indonesia mining) copper mines; the Rod &amp; Refining operations; and Atlantic Copper Smelting &amp; Refining.
On July 2, FCX <a href="https://investors.fcx.com/investors/news-releases/news-release-details/2024/Freeport-Commences-Commissioning-of-New-Indonesian-Smelter-and-Provides-Update-on-Second-Quarter-2024-Copper-and-Gold-Sales/default.aspx">announced that its Indonesian subsidiary</a>, PT Freeport Indonesia, completed construction of the Manyar smelter in Gresik. The achievement fully integrates PT-FI's operations in Indonesia, strengthening its position and securing a foundation to extend long-term operating rights, enhancing FCX's growth and stability.
For the fiscal third quarter that ended September 30, 2024, FCX's revenues increased 16.6% year-over-year to $6.79 billion. Its operating income rose 29.9% from the year-ago value to $1.94 billion.

Moreover, its total current assets came in at $14.55 billion, up from $14.07 billion as of December 31, 2023.
Analysts expect FCX's revenue and EPS for the fiscal fourth quarter ending December 2024 to increase 3.9% and 25.3% year-over-year to $6.14 billion and $0.34, respectively. Moreover, the company topped the consensus revenue and EPS estimates in all of the four trailing quarters, which is impressive.
Shares of FCX have surged 11.6% over the past nine months and 18.6% over the past year to close the last trading session at $42.70.

By leveraging Rytec's expertise, NUE is diversifying its portfolio, offering broader solutions that strengthen customer relationships and unlock new revenue streams in related industries.
On April 1, NUE acquired Southwest Data Products, Inc. for $115 million and launched Nucor Data Systems. The <a href="https://investors.nucor.com/news/news-details/2024/Nucor-to-Acquire-Manufacturer-of-Data-Center-Infrastructure/default.aspx">venture into data center infrastructure</a> could position NUE as a key player in a high-demand sector. It could allow NUE to better serve customers while capitalizing on rapid growth opportunities in tech-driven infrastructure markets.
For the fiscal 2024 third quarter that ended September 28, NUE's net sales came in at $7.44 billion. Its EBITDA was reported to be $869.02 million. Additionally, adjusted net earnings and adjusted EPS attributable to NUE stockholders came in at $352.99 million and $1.49, respectively.
