Investors interested in stocks from the Mining – Miscellaneous sector have probably already heard of Teck Resources Ltd (TECK) and Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (WPM). But which of these two stocks is more attractive to value investors? We'll need to take a closer look to find out.

We have found that the best way to discover great value opportunities is to pair a strong Zacks Rank with a great grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system. The proven Zacks Rank puts an emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions, while our Style Scores work to identify stocks with specific traits.

Teck Resources Ltd has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), while Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now. This means that TECK's earnings estimate revision activity has been more impressive, so investors should feel comfortable with its improving analyst outlook. However, value investors will care about much more than just this.

Value investors analyze a variety of traditional, tried-and-true metrics to help find companies that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.

Our Value category grades stocks based on a number of key metrics, including the tried-and-true P/E ratio, the P/S ratio, earnings yield, and cash flow per share, as well as a variety of other fundamentals that value investors frequently use.

TECK currently has a forward P/E ratio of 16.35, while WPM has a forward P/E of 22.62. We also note that TECK has a PEG ratio of 1.67. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. WPM currently has a PEG ratio of 1.93.

Another notable valuation metric for TECK is its P/B ratio of 1.43. The P/B ratio pits a stock's market value against its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. For comparison, WPM has a P/B of 5.33.

These are just a few of the metrics contributing to TECK's Value grade of B and WPM's Value grade of D.

TECK is currently sporting an improving earnings outlook, which makes it stick out in our Zacks Rank model. And, based on the above valuation metrics, we feel that TECK is likely the superior value option right now.

Zacks Investment Research

Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when Teck Resources Ltd (TECK) reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 23, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus Estimate

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.77 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +185.2%.

Revenues are expected to be $2.31 billion, up 58.2% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions Trend

The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 3.52% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings Whisper

Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model — the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Teck Resources?

For Teck Resources, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +19.61%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #2.

So, this combination indicates that Teck Resources will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?

Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Teck Resources would post earnings of $0.76 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.28, delivering a surprise of +68.42%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.

Bottom Line

An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Teck Resources appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Expected Results of an Industry Player

Another stock from the Zacks Mining – Miscellaneous industry, Reliance (RS), is soon expected to post earnings of $5.33 per share for the quarter ended June 2026. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +20.3%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $4.16 billion, up 13.7% from the year-ago quarter.

The consensus EPS estimate for Reliance has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. However, a higher Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +3.10%.

When combined with a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold), this Earnings ESP indicates that Reliance will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed EPS estimates just once.

Southern Copper (SCCO) has recently been on Zacks.com's list of the most searched stocks. Therefore, you might want to consider some of the key factors that could influence the stock's performance in the near future.

Shares of this miner have returned -5.3% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +0.5% change. The Zacks Mining – Non Ferrous industry, to which Southern Copper belongs, has lost 9.4% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term?

While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company's business prospects usually make its stock 'trending' and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making.

Revisions to Earnings Estimates

Rather than focusing on anything else, we at Zacks prioritize evaluating the change in a company's earnings projection. This is because we believe the fair value for its stock is determined by the present value of its future stream of earnings.

We essentially look at how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to reflect the impact of the latest business trends. And if earnings estimates go up for a company, the fair value for its stock goes up. A higher fair value than the current market price drives investors' interest in buying the stock, leading to its price moving higher. This is why empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.

For the current quarter, Southern Copper is expected to post earnings of $1.97 per share, indicating a change of +61.5% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed +6.3% over the last 30 days.

The consensus earnings estimate of $7.68 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of +46.6%. This estimate has changed +5.8% over the last 30 days.

For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $7.05 indicates a change of -8.2% from what Southern Copper is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed +7.6%.

Having a strong externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, offers a more conclusive picture of a stock's price direction in the near term, since it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. Due to the size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, Southern Copper is rated Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:

12 Month EPS

Projected Revenue Growth

Even though a company's earnings growth is arguably the best indicator of its financial health, nothing much happens if it cannot raise its revenues. It's almost impossible for a company to grow its earnings without growing its revenue for long periods. Therefore, knowing a company's potential revenue growth is crucial.

In the case of Southern Copper, the consensus sales estimate of $4.37 billion for the current quarter points to a year-over-year change of +43.3%. The $16.99 billion and $14.88 billion estimates for the current and next fiscal years indicate changes of +26.6% and -12.4%, respectively.

Last Reported Results and Surprise History

Southern Copper reported revenues of $4.25 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +36.2%. EPS of $1.92 for the same period compares with $1.19 a year ago.

Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.26 billion, the reported revenues represent a surprise of -0.11%. The EPS surprise was +8.47%.

The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters. The company topped consensus revenue estimates three times over this period.

Valuation

Without considering a stock's valuation, no investment decision can be efficient. In predicting a stock's future price performance, it's crucial to determine whether its current price correctly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects.

While comparing the current values of a company's valuation multiples, such as price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), with its own historical values helps determine whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of the reasonability of the stock's price.

The Zacks Value Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which pays close attention to both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics to grade stocks from A to F (an A is better than a B; a B is better than a C; and so on), is pretty helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued.

Southern Copper is graded D on this front, indicating that it is trading at a premium to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade.

Conclusion

The facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about Southern Copper. However, its Zacks Rank #3 does suggest that it may perform in line with the broader market in the near term.

BHP has approved a $900 million (100% basis) investment to develop the Ministers North iron ore project in Western Australia's Pilbara, reinforcing its strategy to sustain long-term production from its flagship iron ore operations.

The project will develop the high-grade Brockman ore deposit as a satellite extension of the company's long-running Yandi mine, leveraging existing infrastructure to reduce development costs and improve operational efficiency. Once fully ramped up, Ministers North is expected to produce 20 million tonnes per annum, helping support BHP's medium-term iron ore production target of 305 million tonnes per year on a 100% basis.

Construction activities are scheduled to begin this month, with first ore targeted in fiscal 2029.

Development plans include a 13-kilometre haul road and land bridge linking Yandi and Ministers North, alongside upgrades to existing infrastructure and the installation of new primary and secondary crushers at Yandi.

BHP Western Australia Iron Ore Asset President Tim Day said the investment would extend the life of the company's Pilbara operations by utilizing established infrastructure, workforce expertise, and operational capabilities as the Yandi mine matures.

Ministers North is owned by a joint venture comprising BHP (85%), Itochu Corporation (8%) and Mitsui & Co. (7%), highlighting the partners' continued commitment to maintaining production capacity in one of the world's largest iron ore mining regions.

The approval comes as major Pilbara producers continue investing in replacement mines to offset the natural depletion of existing operations while preserving export volumes. Leveraging existing processing facilities and transport infrastructure has become a common strategy among Australian iron ore miners to lower capital costs and sustain long-term output.

Nexa Resources S.A.’s NEXA Aripuanã mine delivered a second consecutive quarter of record zinc production in the first quarter of 2026, driven by higher grades. The mine produced 13,000 tons of zinc, a 4% increase from the previous record of 12,000 tons set in the fourth quarter of 2025.The Aripuanã mine is a long-life, tire-one asset for Nexa Resources that has been delivering steady performance. The mine began its ramp-up and achieved its first commercial sale in July 2022, reaching full operational status by July 2024. In the second half of 2025, the company commenced the fourth filter's arrival and installation. Installation of the fourth filter had concluded in the first quarter of 2026, which is expected to reduce the mine's reliance on weather conditions for tailings management.Nexa Resources is executing its long-term strategy to replace and expand its mineral reserves and resources. In sync with that, the company is moving forward with its disciplined exploration program focused on identifying orebodies and upgrading resource classifications through infill drilling campaigns. The efforts have already extended current life-of-mine plans across its portfolio, pushing Aripuanã’s life to 2041. The company expects the Aripuanã mine’s zinc production in 2026 to be 45,000-60,000 tons, indicating a 49% increase from the 2025 reported level. This will be driven by stable plant operations, the installation of the fourth filter and higher mining volumes. Zinc production is expected to increase 24% in 2027 to 60,000-70,000 tons, while it is expected to increase a further 7% in 2028, reaching 65,000-74,000 tons. Nexa Resources expects consolidated zinc production for 2026 to increase 6% from 2025. The company expects zinc production to grow 8% in 2027 from the 2026 reported level. The upside will be driven by higher production from Aripuanã, along with solid performances from the Atacocha and Vazante mines.  

Nexa Resources Peers’ Outlook

Hudbay Minerals Inc. HBM expects zinc production of 16,000-21,000 tons in 2026, indicating an increase of 5% at the mid-point.Hudbay Minerals expects zinc production to increase to 29,000-36,000 tons by 2028, suggesting a 76% increase from the 2026 reported figure at the mid-point. The upside in Hudbay Minerals’ zinc production will be driven by higher production from the 1901 deposit.

Teck Resources Limited’s TECK production of zinc in concentrate declined to 120 thousand tons in the first quarter of 2026 from 137 thousand tons a year earlier, reflecting lower grades at Red Dog in line with the mine plan. Teck Resources expects zinc production to trend lower over the next three years as the mine approaches the end of its life. Teck Resources’ 2026 zinc production guidance is 410-460 thousand tons, whereas it produced 565 thousand tons in 2025.

NEXA’s Price Performance, Valuations & Estimates

Nexa Resources’ stock has rocketed 175.6% in a year, outperforming the Zacks Mining – Miscellaneous industry’s 36.3% return. Meanwhile, the Basic Materials sector has risen 24.7% and the S&P 500 has rallied 25.8%. 

Image Source: Zacks Investment ResearchThe NEXA stock is currently trading at a forward 12-month earnings multiple of 5.08X, which is a discount to the industry average of 14.28X.

Nexa Resources S.A.’s NEXA Cajamarquilla smelter in Peru had to be temporarily suspended due to a fire on May 13. The fire damaged portions of the smelter's infrastructure. On the day of the incident, personnel were evacuated from the affected area as a safety precaution. The smelter gradually resumed production in late May,  Nexa Resources expects a lost production impact of 7,000 tons of refined zinc, indicating 2% of annual production. Even though this is expected to reflect on its second-quarter performance, the company expects to recover the lost production in the second half of 2026.NEXA has kept its 2026 sales guidance intact. It expects consolidated zinc production to increase 6% at the mid-point from the 2025 reported level. The increase will be driven by increased output at the Aripuanã, Atacocha and Vazante mines. However, it will be partially offset by lower volumes at Cerro Lindo and El Porvenir due to mine sequencing that anticipates slightly lower grades.The company expects zinc production to increase 8% in 2027 from the 2026 reported level. 2028 zinc production is expected to be flat as higher production from the Atacocha, Aripuanã and Vazante mines will be offset by lower contributions from Cerro Lindo and El Porvenir.The company expects consolidated conversion costs for 2026 to remain flat year over year at 31-34 cents per pound. Higher output at Brazilian smelters, driven by plant recovery, process stabilization and roaster improvements, will be somewhat negated by lower production at the Cajamarquilla site.

Nexa Resources Peers’ Outlook

Hudbay Minerals Inc. HBM expects zinc production of 16,000-21,000 tons in 2026, indicating an increase of 5% at the mid-point.

Teck Resources (TSX:TECK.B) is back in focus after signing a large investment agreement with Canada Growth Fund and Natural Resources Canada to expand critical mineral production at its Trail Operations facility in British Columbia.

See our latest analysis for Teck Resources.

Despite the government backed funding news at Trail Operations and an upcoming Q2 2026 earnings release, Teck Resources’ recent momentum has cooled, with the 1 month share price return down 8.16% and the 7 day return down 5.82%. However, the year to date share price return of 20.55% and 1 year total shareholder return of 52.33% still point to stronger performance over a longer horizon.

If you are interested in how critical minerals and metals stories connect across the market, it could be worth scanning other producers through the 8 top copper producer stocks

The recent pullback in Teck Resources after government backed funding news raises a simple question: is the stock just giving back some sentiment driven heat, or are investors reassessing what the underlying business is worth today?

Most Popular Narrative: 6.4% Undervalued

At a last close of CA$79.55 versus a narrative fair value of CA$85.00, Teck Resources is framed as modestly undervalued, with that gap hinging on how convincingly its copper growth story plays out under an 8.23% discount rate.

The sanctioned Highland Valley Copper Mine Life Extension project and ongoing optimization/debottlenecking at QB are set to double Teck’s copper production by decade’s end, enabling the company to capitalize on the accelerating demand for copper from global electrification and energy transition, which should materially increase revenue and long-term earnings growth.

Read the complete narrative.

Curious what kind of revenue path and margin profile it takes to call Teck Resources modestly undervalued at today’s price? The most followed narrative leans on copper heavy volumes, steady profitability and a richer future earnings multiple that is usually reserved for faster growing sectors. The exact mix of growth, margins and discounting behind that CA$85.00 figure might surprise you.

Result: Fair Value of CA$85.00 (UNDERVALUED)

Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what’s behind the forecasts.

However, the Teck Resources narrative also leans on smooth execution at projects like QB2 and assumes copper and zinc prices hold up. Both of these assumptions could easily be tested.

Find out about the key risks to this Teck Resources narrative.

Another View on Teck Resources’ Valuation

The narrative fair value for Teck Resources suggests a modest gap to CA$85.00, but the SWS DCF model paints a different picture, with an estimate of CA$68.61 versus the current CA$79.55. That points to shares trading above that cash flow based value. Which story do you put more weight on?

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – July 9, 2026) – Intrepid Metals Corp. (TSXV: INTR) (OTCQB: IMTCF) ("Intrepid" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the advancement of its integrated exploration program focused on defining high-priority porphyry copper-gold targets at its Corral Copper Project ("Corral" or the "Project") in Cochise County, Arizona. Building on the Company's successful identification of extensive carbonate replacement ("CRD") mineralization, Intrepid has continued to refine its understanding of the broader mineralizing system through an integrated exploration program undertaken with input from Teck Resources Limited ("Teck"). The next phase of work includes an approximately 65 line-kilometre induced polarization ("IP") survey, scheduled to commence in early August, ahead of the Company's planned September drill program, where approximately 5,000 metres ("m") of the planned 10,000m campaign are expected to be dedicated to testing priority porphyry targets.

"Our understanding of Corral continues to evolve with every phase of exploration," said Matt Lennox-King, Chairman and Interim CEO of Intrepid Metals. "While our previous drilling successfully demonstrated the scale and continuity of the CRD system, our 2026 work, undertaken in collaboration with Teck, has been focused on identifying the potential porphyry source that we believe drives that mineralization. While CRD mineralization can be economically significant on its own, a related porphyry system has the potential to represent a much larger mineralized system. By integrating the results of our geological, geochemical and geophysical programs, we are building the most comprehensive geological model assembled on the Project to date. This work will directly guide our first dedicated porphyry drill tests later this year."

Building the Porphyry Model

Initial drilling at Corral successfully demonstrated the presence of extensive CRD copper-gold-silver mineralization across multiple zones. CRD deposits commonly form when metal-rich fluids originating from a nearby porphyry intrusion migrate into favourable limestone host rocks, where they precipitate high-grade mineralization.

The Company's exploration model is based on geological similarities between Corral and Arizona's historic Bisbee Mining District, where extensive CRD mineralization is spatially associated with a significant porphyry copper system. Intrepid's 2026 exploration program has been designed to systematically evaluate whether a similar relationship exists at Corral through an integrated program of geological mapping, surface geochemistry, structural interpretation, drill core relogging and geophysical surveys.

Regional Analogue – Bisbee Mining District

The Corral Copper Project was acquired by Intrepid in 2023 based on its potential to host both near-surface, high-grade CRD copper-gold-silver mineralization and a related porphyry copper-gold system. This exploration model is supported by geological similarities to Arizona's historic Bisbee Mining District, located approximately 100 kilometres southeast of Corral, where high-grade CRD mineralization at the Copper Queen Mine (approximately 53 Mt grading 6% copper1) occurs in association with the Lavender Pit porphyry deposit (223 Mt grading 0.63% copper2).

Like Bisbee, Corral hosts widespread CRD mineralization spatially associated with Jurassic felsic intrusions emplaced into favourable Paleozoic carbonate rocks. While there is no assurance that Corral hosts mineralization similar in size or grade, these geological similarities support the Company's belief that the Project has the potential to host both styles of mineralization.

Technical Review Refines Porphyry Targeting

As part of the Company's integrated exploration program, Intrepid completed a comprehensive review and relogging of drill core, together with targeted field investigations aimed at refining its understanding of the Project's porphyry potential. This work included characterization of alteration styles, veining, intrusive lithologies and mineralization, supported by portable X-Ray Fluorescence ("pXRF") analyses and evaluation of porphyry vectoring indicators across the Project.

The review has strengthened the Company's geological model through the identification of multiple porphyry-style features, including intrusive-related alteration, quartz-sericite-pyrite ("QSP") alteration, stockwork veining, molybdenum-bearing mineralization and porphyry-style vein textures. These observations, combined with geological mapping, surface sampling and structural interpretation, have helped refine priority target areas that will be further evaluated through the upcoming IP survey and planned porphyry drill program.

Upcoming IP Survey

The next phase of the exploration program will include an approximately 65 line-kilometre IP survey, scheduled to commence in early August. The survey is designed to identify chargeability and resistivity anomalies that may represent sulphide-rich intrusive centres at depth and will provide an important dataset for refining the location and orientation of planned drill holes.

Planned Drill Program

Following completion and interpretation of the IP survey, Intrepid expects to commence its September drill program, with approximately half of the planned 10,000m drill campaign dedicated to testing porphyry targets. The remaining drilling will continue to evaluate and expand the extensive CRD mineralization previously identified across the Project.

Teck Resources Investment Narrative Recap

To own Teck today, you generally have to believe in its copper led growth story while accepting exposure to metals price swings, project execution risk and capital intensive expansions. The Trail critical minerals agreement adds a government backed growth option but does not displace the near term focus on stable operations at core copper assets and disciplined project spending, where cost inflation and delays remain the most important near term risk to the business.

The Trail announcement sits alongside Teck’s upcoming Q2 2026 earnings release on 23 July, which many investors will watch for updated guidance on capital spending, cash flow and operating performance. Taken together, the Trail agreement and the next earnings update could shape how investors weigh Teck’s copper focused narrative against its emerging role in critical minerals processing and the financial demands of expanding that capability.

Yet investors should also be aware that cost inflation and project delays could still pressure cash flows and returns…

Teck Resources' narrative projects CA$12.7 billion revenue and CA$2.0 billion earnings by 2029. This requires flat yearly revenue growth and roughly CA$0.1 billion earnings increase from CA$1.9 billion today.

Uncover how Teck Resources' forecasts yield a CA$85.00 fair value, a 7% upside to its current price.

Exploring Other PerspectivesTSX:TECK.B 1-Year Stock Price Chart

Some of the lowest analysts were already projecting revenue to fall about 7.6% a year and earnings to drop toward CA$354.4 million, a far more pessimistic view than the baseline narrative, and this Trail agreement might eventually challenge or reinforce that outlook depending on how you judge regulatory and project execution risk.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – June 30, 2026) – Rokmaster Resources Corp. (TSXV: RKR) (OTCQB: RKMSF) (FSE: 1RR1) ("Rokmaster" or "the Company") is pleased to announce results from diamond drilling on the Hanson Property completed in April 2026.

The Hanson Property is a part of the Company's Nechako Project, which totals 28,238 hectares (282 km2) across four properties located in west-central British Columbia. The Nechako Project features multiple exploration targets for significant porphyry Cu-(Mo±Au) mineralization and high-grade Au-Ag vein systems in the southern portion of the productive Stikine terrane (Figure 1).

A small inaugural drill program, totalling 393.0 m in two drillholes, tested the Wilson Target within the Hanson Property. This program represents essentially the first drill test of a strong and broad soil molybdenum anomaly and coincident IP anomaly initially detected by Endako Mines in 1973. Endako Mines did complete two shallow drillholes in 1978 after a five-year hiatus in exploration. Drillholes H9 and H10 were completed to depths of only 62.5 m and 37.8 m, respectively, and were directed away from the central high resistivity anomaly. (Figure 2).

Field work completed in 2025 found that the Stern Creek granodiorite underlying the Wilson Zone hosts potassic secondary biotite alteration related to narrow mm-scale vein-hosted molybdenite mineralization on surface. An outcrop was found near the center of the Wilson Zone geochemical and geophysical anomaly, with brecciated clasts of Stern Creek granodiorite and porphyritic quartz monzonite, the primary target for this drill program.

Drillhole H26-02 intersected intrusive breccia with meter-scale intervals of foliated granodiorite and non-foliated porphyritic quartz monzonite from top of the hole until a larger stock of quartz monzonite was encountered between 30.6 and 44.0 m. Below the lower contact of that unit, the remainder of the drillhole consisted of foliated granodiorite with varying degrees of chlorite alteration, persistent potassic alteration, and molybdenite mineralization hosted in quartz B-veins down to the end of the drillhole.

Notable molybdenite mineralization in dense cm-scale quartz veins was intersected in drillhole H26-02 with an assay of 0.518% Mo (0.864% MoS2(1)) over 1.20 m (59.0-60.2 m). The surrounding interval near the lower contact of the quartz monzonite also hosted cm-scale quartz-molybdenite veins and elevated assays with a weighted average of 0.051% Mo (0.085% MoS2) over 18.2 m (42.0-60.2 m).

For comparison, the average grade in the 2025 mineral resource estimate(2) on the currently inactive Endako Mine (Canada's largest Mo Mine), located 23 km south of the Hanson Property, is 0.072% MoS2 for 335.6 Mt in the measured and indicated category. This estimate used a cut-off grade of 0.040% MoS2 and a price of USD$22.50/lb Mo. Rokmaster also intersected a larger interval of 0.023% Mo (0.038% MoS2) over 71.0 m (42.0-113.0 m) cored in drillhole H26-02. This interval is close to the projected restart cut-off grade used in the Endako Mine PEA.

Drillhole H26-01 was collared approximately 900 m west of drillhole H26-02 and intersected Hanson Phase porphyritic tonalite hosting ~5% disseminated pyrite mineralization. This drillhole tested a circular magnetic low feature, elevated gold in surface samples, and the less exposed western portion of high chargeability anomaly. Drillhole H26-01 returned elevated copper results of 500-1,600 ppm Cu over meter-scale intervals throughout the hole, further confirming the pyrite halo around the core of the Wilson Zone.

There is potential for porphyry-style mineralization on the Hanson Property, at the Wilson Zone and at the Cyr Zone 2.5 km to the north. The Cyr Zone has similar geology with strongly sericite-altered and pyritic Stern Creek granodiorite hosting elevated gold, silver, copper, and zinc as indicated in historical sampling and drilling, which may indicate a less eroded porphyry system. The Buckley Zone, approximately 4.0 km west of the Wilson Zone, is defined by a large, strong molybdenum anomaly in soil samples taken over the Hanson Phase tonalite.

A new 1,534 hectare mineral claim called the Chaplin Property was recently approved 8 km south of the Hanson Property. The Chaplin Property is bisected by the mainline Trout Road and characterized by moderate overburden cover over mapped Stern Creek granodiorite. A 1969 induced polarization survey identified a strong IP anomaly(3) that is coincident with a magnetic low that remains undrilled (Figure 3).

John Mirko, President and CEO, comments:

"This first-pass, low-cost drill program at the Wilson Zone has added good value to the Hanson Property by intersecting notable porphyry-style molybdenite mineralization. The high-grade interval of 0.518% Mo over 1.20 m in drillhole H26-02 demonstrates that the system's ability to locally concentrate mineralization in higher-grade vein corridors within a broader envelope of lower-grade mineralization is similar to what has been described at the Endako Mine. The location of the 18.2 m interval returning 0.051% Mo, which exceeds the average grade at the Endako Mine, also supports further exploration potential in the geological context of the Wilson Zone. With extensive road access and nearby infrastructure we can continue advancing the Wilson Zone and the other underexplored Hanson Property targets efficiently. We thank all our contractors, including Hy-Tech Drilling, for safely and efficiently completing this small drill program. Intersecting this porphyry-style mineralization in the Wilson Zone is an excellent start and we look forward to additional drilling on prospective porphyry targets on the Nechako Project later this year."

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TECK.A and TECK.B, NYSE: TECK) (“Teck”) announced today that it has mailed a letter of transmittal and election form (the “Letter of Transmittal”) to each registered holder of Class A common shares and Class B subordinate voting shares of Teck (collectively, the “Teck Shares”) in connection with the previously-announced court-approved plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) under section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations Act, involving, among other things, the merger of equals of Anglo American plc (“Anglo American”) and Teck (the “Merger”).

The Letter of Transmittal explains how to exchange Teck Shares for the consideration under the Merger and, for eligible Canadian Teck shareholders, how to elect to receive the exchangeable share consideration under the Merger. Under the Merger, each Teck Share will be exchanged for 1.3301 ordinary shares (the “Anglo Shares”) of Anglo American (the “Exchange Ratio”), or, for eligible Canadian shareholders who so elect, the Exchange Ratio of exchangeable shares of Anglo Teck Exchangeco Limited (the “Exchangeable Shares”).

The Letter of Transmittal is for use by registered shareholders only. Beneficial (non-registered) shareholders whose Teck Shares are registered in the name of an intermediary such as a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company, trustee, nominee or other intermediary should not use the Letter of Transmittal but rather should contact their intermediary for instructions and assistance in depositing their Teck Shares and, if applicable, in making an election as to the form of consideration they wish to receive. Every intermediary has its own procedures with respect to depositing Teck Shares pursuant to the Merger and making an election and may have an earlier deadline. The table below summarizes the default settlement pathway for each category of Teck shareholder:

Shareholder Type Default Settlement Pathway
Registered Teck shareholders (holding a share certificate or DRS advice) Must deposit a completed Letter of Transmittal with Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the “Depositary”). Anglo Shares (as defined below) will be issued in certificated form in the shareholder’s name (or, for eligible Canadian Teck shareholders who so elect, Exchangeable Shares in DRS form).
Non-registered Teck shareholders holding through CDS Anglo Shares will be issued to CDS and credited to the same CDS participant account through which the Teck Shares were held. If you are an eligible Canadian Teck shareholder and wish to receive Exchangeable Shares, you must provide your election instructions to your Intermediary by their deadline.
Non-registered Teck shareholders holding through DTC Anglo Shares will be settled in the form of American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), credited to the same DTC account through which the Teck Shares were held. If you are an eligible Canadian Teck shareholder who holds Teck Shares through DTC and you wish to receive Exchangeable Shares, you must either (i) withdraw your Teck Shares from DTC and comply with the procedures described in this release for registered Teck shareholders, or (ii) instruct the transfer of your Teck Shares from DTC to CDS in advance of the Election Deadline (as defined below) and provide your election instructions to your intermediary by their deadline
   

Registered shareholders are strongly encouraged to read Teck’s management proxy circular dated November 3, 2025 (the “Circular”), including the appendices attached thereto and the documents incorporated therein by reference, before completing the Letter of Transmittal. Shareholders should also carefully review the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal. The Circular and a copy of the form of Letter of Transmittal are each available under Teck’s issuer profiles on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, EDGAR at www.sec.gov and on Teck’s website at www.Teck.com.The Letter of Transmittal outlines the necessary documentation and information required from each registered shareholder to obtain the consideration to which they are entitled under the Merger and, if applicable, make an election with respect to the form of consideration they wish to receive, as further described below. Registered shareholders should refer to the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal to ensure they provide the required documentation and information to the Depositary in order to validly deposit their Teck Shares and elect the form of consideration they wish to receive.

If a registered shareholder does not deposit a properly completed Letter of Transmittal prior to the deadline to make an election in respect of the consideration receivable in exchange for their Teck Shares pursuant to the Merger (the “Election Deadline”), or otherwise fails to comply with the requirements under the Plan of Arrangement and Letter of Transmittal with respect to such election and deposit of their Teck Shares, such registered shareholder will receive, upon delivery of a properly completed Letter of Transmittal together with certificate(s) if any representing their Teck Shares and all other required documentation, in respect of each such Teck Share for which no valid election was made, the consideration to which they are entitled in the form of Anglo Shares for such Teck Shares.

The election window is now open, and registered shareholders may begin depositing their completed Letters of Transmittal with the Depositary immediately. The Election Deadline has not been determined. Teck expects to announce the Election Deadline by news release not less than seven business days prior to the Election Deadline. Accordingly, once the Election Deadline is announced, there may be limited time to complete and deliver the Letter of Transmittal or to address any deficiencies in any delivered form. Registered shareholders who wish to make an election are strongly encouraged to submit their Letter of Transmittal as promptly as possible and are advised not to wait for the announcement of the Election Deadline before doing so.

Registered shareholders who have not deposited a duly completed Letter of Transmittal, together with the certificate(s) (if any) representing their Teck Shares and all other required documentation, with the Depositary will not be recorded on the register of holders of Anglo Shares and will not be entitled to vote or to receive any dividends or other distributions declared in respect of the Anglo Shares until they have done so. Further, if the Letter of Transmittal is not properly completed, executed and deposited, together with the certificate(s) (if any) and all other required documentation, before the day that is the third anniversary of the closing of the Merger, the right of any Teck Shareholder to receive the consideration for their Teck Shares pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement shall terminate and all consideration to which such former Teck Shareholder was entitled shall be deemed to have been surrendered and forfeited to Anglo Teck or ExchangeCo, as applicable.

Under current UK law, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax at a rate of 1.5% may apply where Anglo Shares are transferred after issuance into a clearance service (including CDS or DTC) or to the depositary bank for the ADR facility. Registered shareholders who currently hold certificated Teck Shares but intend to hold their Anglo Shares through CDS or in the form of American Depositary Receipts through DTC are therefore strongly advised to transfer their Teck Shares into CDS or DTC, as applicable, prior to completion of the Merger, and should review the Letter of Transmittal for further details.

Factors that may cause actual results to vary materially include, but are not limited to, the possibility that the Merger will not be completed on the terms and conditions, or on the timing, currently contemplated, and that it may not be completed at all, due to a failure to obtain or satisfy, in a timely manner or otherwise, required regulatory approvals and other conditions to the closing of the Merger or for other reasons, public perception of the Merger, market reaction to the Merger, the negative impact that the failure to complete the Merger for any reason could have on the business of Anglo American or Teck, the ability of Anglo American and Teck to successfully integrate and capture expected synergies, general economic and market conditions, including interest and foreign exchange rates, global financial markets, changes in government regulations or in securities, tax or other laws, industry competition, technological developments and other factors described or discussed in Anglo American’s or Teck’s disclosure materials filed with applicable securities regulatory authorities from time to time.

Southern Copper (SCCO) has been one of the most searched-for stocks on Zacks.com lately. So, you might want to look at some of the facts that could shape the stock's performance in the near term.

Shares of this miner have returned -8.5% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's -1.4% change. The Zacks Mining – Non Ferrous industry, to which Southern Copper belongs, has lost 3.6% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term?

Although media reports or rumors about a significant change in a company's business prospects usually cause its stock to trend and lead to an immediate price change, there are always certain fundamental factors that ultimately drive the buy-and-hold decision.

Earnings Estimate Revisions

Here at Zacks, we prioritize appraising the change in the projection of a company's future earnings over anything else. That's because we believe the present value of its future stream of earnings is what determines the fair value for its stock.

Our analysis is essentially based on how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to take the latest business trends into account. When earnings estimates for a company go up, the fair value for its stock goes up as well. And when a stock's fair value is higher than its current market price, investors tend to buy the stock, resulting in its price moving upward. Because of this, empirical studies indicate a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and short-term stock price movements.

Southern Copper is expected to post earnings of $1.90 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +55.7%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed +2.4%.

The consensus earnings estimate of $7.62 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of +45.4%. This estimate has changed +10% over the last 30 days.

For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $6.96 indicates a change of -8.6% from what Southern Copper is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed +6.8%.

Having a strong externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, offers a more conclusive picture of a stock's price direction in the near term, since it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. Due to the size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, Southern Copper is rated Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:

12 Month EPS

Projected Revenue Growth

Even though a company's earnings growth is arguably the best indicator of its financial health, nothing much happens if it cannot raise its revenues. It's almost impossible for a company to grow its earnings without growing its revenue for long periods. Therefore, knowing a company's potential revenue growth is crucial.

For Southern Copper, the consensus sales estimate for the current quarter of $4.26 billion indicates a year-over-year change of +39.6%. For the current and next fiscal years, $16.69 billion and $14.59 billion estimates indicate +24.4% and -12.6% changes, respectively.

Last Reported Results and Surprise History

Southern Copper reported revenues of $4.25 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +36.2%. EPS of $1.92 for the same period compares with $1.19 a year ago.

Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.26 billion, the reported revenues represent a surprise of -0.11%. The EPS surprise was +8.47%.

The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters. The company topped consensus revenue estimates three times over this period.

Valuation

Without considering a stock's valuation, no investment decision can be efficient. In predicting a stock's future price performance, it's crucial to determine whether its current price correctly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects.

Comparing the current value of a company's valuation multiples, such as its price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), to its own historical values helps ascertain whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, whereas comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of how reasonable its stock price is.

As part of the Zacks Style Scores system, the Zacks Value Style Score (which evaluates both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics) organizes stocks into five groups ranging from A to F (A is better than B; B is better than C; and so on), making it helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued.

Southern Copper is graded D on this front, indicating that it is trading at a premium to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade.

Bottom Line

The facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about Southern Copper. However, its Zacks Rank #3 does suggest that it may perform in line with the broader market in the near term.

Miners Hochschild and Fresnillo lead FTSE falls as gold pullback deepens Proactive uses images sourced from Shutterstock

Hochschild Mining PLC (LSE:HOC) and Fresnillo PLC (LSE:FRES) led London's mining sector lower on Thursday as falling gold and silver prices hit precious metals producers.

Hochschild fell 1.8%, Endeavour Mining PLC (LSE:EDV) lost 1.8%, Pan African Resources PLC (LSE:PAF) shed 1.5% and Fresnillo dropped 1.3% in early trading.

The declines came as gold slipped 0.6% to $3,975 an ounce, falling below the $4,000 mark for the first time since November, while silver fell 1.2% to $56.70 an ounce, having yesterday broken below $60 for the first time since December.

The weakness was concentrated among precious metals miners. More diversified groups were mixed, with Glencore PLC (LSE:GLEN) down 0.3%, Rio Tinto Ltd (LSE:RIO) little changed, Anglo American PLC (LSE:AAL) up 0.6% and Antofagasta PLC (LSE:ANTO) gaining 1%, helped by copper prices. Comex copper was up 0.6% to $5.9796 a pound.

Bullion has come under pressure as the US dollar strengthened to its highest level in more than a year as investors continued to price in interest rates remaining higher for longer. Higher rates raise the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets such as gold.

Patrick Munnelly, market analyst at Tickmill, said: "Gold is stabilising around $4,000/oz after briefly falling below that level for the first time since November. A stronger Dollar and higher-for-longer rate expectations have weighed on the metal, while the easing of Middle East risks has reduced safe-haven demand.

"The fact that gold is only stabilising, rather than rebounding strongly, suggests that the market is less concerned about geopolitical tail risk and more focused on real yields and the Dollar."

Chris Beauchamp, market analyst at IG, said the gold price was seeing its "largest pullback for four years".

"The parabolic move of late 2024, through 2025 and on into 2026 has firmly come unstuck. The bigger the party, the bigger the hangover, and gold is still working off its own exuberance… As the dollar keeps strengthening, there is more pain to come for gold."

Investors looking for stocks in the Mining – Miscellaneous sector might want to consider either Nexa Resources S.A. (NEXA) or Anglo American (NGLOY). But which of these two companies is the best option for those looking for undervalued stocks? Let's take a closer look.

There are plenty of strategies for discovering value stocks, but we have found that pairing a strong Zacks Rank with an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system produces the best returns. The Zacks Rank is a proven strategy that targets companies with positive earnings estimate revision trends, while our Style Scores work to grade companies based on specific traits.

Right now, Nexa Resources S.A. is sporting a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy), while Anglo American has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy). This system places an emphasis on companies that have seen positive earnings estimate revisions, so investors should feel comfortable knowing that NEXA is likely seeing its earnings outlook improve to a greater extent. However, value investors will care about much more than just this.

Value investors are also interested in a number of tried-and-true valuation metrics that help show when a company is undervalued at its current share price levels.

The Value category of the Style Scores system identifies undervalued companies by looking at a number of key metrics. These include the long-favored P/E ratio, P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a variety of other fundamentals that help us determine a company's fair value.

NEXA currently has a forward P/E ratio of 4.83, while NGLOY has a forward P/E of 21.51. We also note that NEXA has a PEG ratio of 0.31. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company's expected earnings growth rate. NGLOY currently has a PEG ratio of 0.50.

Another notable valuation metric for NEXA is its P/B ratio of 1.24. Investors use the P/B ratio to look at a stock's market value versus its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. By comparison, NGLOY has a P/B of 2.41.

These metrics, and several others, help NEXA earn a Value grade of A, while NGLOY has been given a Value grade of C.

NEXA stands above NGLOY thanks to its solid earnings outlook, and based on these valuation figures, we also feel that NEXA is the superior value option right now.

The Basic Materials group has plenty of great stocks, but investors should always be looking for companies that are outperforming their peers. Has Gerdau (GGB) been one of those stocks this year? Let's take a closer look at the stock's year-to-date performance to find out.

Gerdau is one of 248 companies in the Basic Materials group. The Basic Materials group currently sits at #3 within the Zacks Sector Rank. The Zacks Sector Rank considers 16 different sector groups. The average Zacks Rank of the individual stocks within the groups is measured, and the sectors are listed from best to worst.

The Zacks Rank is a proven system that emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions, highlighting a variety of stocks that are displaying the right characteristics to beat the market over the next one to three months. Gerdau is currently sporting a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy).

Over the past 90 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for GGB's full-year earnings has moved 9.3% higher. This means that analyst sentiment is stronger and the stock's earnings outlook is improving.

Our latest available data shows that GGB has returned about 15.2% since the start of the calendar year. Meanwhile, the Basic Materials sector has returned an average of 12.7% on a year-to-date basis. As we can see, Gerdau is performing better than its sector in the calendar year.

Another Basic Materials stock, which has outperformed the sector so far this year, is Anglo American (NGLOY). The stock has returned 26.4% year-to-date.

The consensus estimate for Anglo American's current year EPS has increased 54.3% over the past three months. The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Looking more specifically, Gerdau belongs to the Steel – Producers industry, a group that includes 17 individual stocks and currently sits at #38 in the Zacks Industry Rank. On average, this group has gained an average of 34.4% so far this year, meaning that GGB is slightly underperforming its industry in terms of year-to-date returns.

In contrast, Anglo American falls under the Mining – Miscellaneous industry. Currently, this industry has 72 stocks and is ranked #104. Since the beginning of the year, the industry has moved +22.3%.

Gerdau and Anglo American could continue their solid performance, so investors interested in Basic Materials stocks should continue to pay close attention to these stocks.

Southern Copper (SCCO) ended the recent trading session at $189.91, demonstrating a -1.57% change from the preceding day's closing price. The stock fell short of the S&P 500, which registered a loss of 0.37% for the day. Elsewhere, the Dow gained 0.29%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 1.33%.

Heading into today, shares of the miner had gained 7.38% over the past month, outpacing the Basic Materials sector's gain of 3.31% and the S&P 500's gain of 2.02%.

The upcoming earnings release of Southern Copper will be of great interest to investors. In that report, analysts expect Southern Copper to post earnings of $1.9 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 55.74%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $4.23 billion, up 38.73% from the year-ago period.

SCCO's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $7.62 per share and revenue of $16.54 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +45.42% and +23.22%, respectively.

Any recent changes to analyst estimates for Southern Copper should also be noted by investors. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As a result, upbeat changes in estimates indicate analysts' favorable outlook on the business health and profitability.

Our research suggests that these changes in estimates have a direct relationship with upcoming stock price performance. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.

Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has shifted 9.96% upward. Southern Copper is currently a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Investors should also note Southern Copper's current valuation metrics, including its Forward P/E ratio of 25.34. For comparison, its industry has an average Forward P/E of 26.09, which means Southern Copper is trading at a discount to the group.

We can also see that SCCO currently has a PEG ratio of 1.73. The PEG ratio is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but this metric also takes the company's expected earnings growth rate into account. The Mining – Non Ferrous was holding an average PEG ratio of 1.49 at yesterday's closing price.

How much a stock's price changes over time is important for most investors, since price performance can both impact your investment portfolio and help you compare investment results across sectors and industries.

FOMO, or the fear of missing out, also plays a role in investing, particularly with tech giants and popular consumer-facing stocks.

What if you'd invested in Southern Copper (SCCO) ten years ago? It may not have been easy to hold on to SCCO for all that time, but if you did, how much would your investment be worth today?

Southern Copper's Business In-Depth

With that in mind, let's take a look at Southern Copper's main business drivers.

Phoenix, AZ-based Southern Copper Corporation engages in mining, exploring, smelting, and refining copper and other minerals. The company conducts exploration activities in Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru.Southern Copper has the largest copper reserves in the industry and operates high-quality, world-class assets in investment grade countries, such as Mexico and Peru. Southern Copper reports results under three reportable segments. Each consist of a groups of mines with similar economic characteristics, type of products, processes and support facilities, regulatory environments as well as employee bargaining contracts.Peruvian operations (around 36% of the company's revenues) includes the Toquepala and Cuajone mine complexes and the smelting and refining plants, industrial railroad and port facilities that service both mines. The Peruvian operations produce copper, with significant by-product production of molybdenum, silver and other materials.Mexican Open-Pit (58% of revenues) includes La Caridad and Buenavista mine complexes, the smelting and refining plants and support facilities, which service both mines. The Mexican open pit operations produce copper, with significant by-product production of molybdenum, silver and other materials.Mexican underground operations (6% of revenues) (IMMSA unit) includes five underground mines that produce zinc, lead, copper, silver and gold, a coal mine which produces coal and coke, and several industrial processing facilities for zinc, copper and silver. The geographic breakdown of the company’s sales is as follows – Americas (50% of revenues), Europe (32%) and Asia (18%).Approximately 80% of the company’s revenue come from the sale of copper, 6% from molybdenum and 10% from silver and zinc. Bottom Line

While anyone can invest, building a lucrative investment portfolio takes research, patience, and a little bit of risk. If you had invested in Southern Copper ten years ago, you're probably feeling pretty good about your investment today.

A $1000 investment made in June 2016 would be worth $7,331.28, or a gain of 633.13%, as of June 22, 2026, according to our calculations. This return excludes dividends but includes price appreciation.

Compare this to the S&P 500's rally of 262.13% and gold's return of 212.32% over the same time frame.

Analysts are anticipating more upside for SCCO.

Southern Copper reported a 4% decline in copper production in the first quarter 2026 due to lower ore grades at Peruvian operations. Even though grades are expected to improve through the year, the company expects copper output for 2026 at around 915,400 tons, which implies a 5% year-over-year decline. The company also anticipates declines in molybdenum, silver and zinc production. However, stronger metal prices are likely to cushion the impact on revenues. Rising energy and labor costs could weigh on near-term margins. Copper demand continues to be robust, supported by the global shift toward clean energy. An anticipated supply deficit should provide additional price support. The company expects to take its copper production to 1.6 million tons backed by its planned investments exceeding $20.5 billion across Peru and Mexico over the decade.

The stock is up 7.38% over the past four weeks, and no earnings estimate has gone lower in the past two months, compared to 4 higher, for fiscal 2026. The consensus estimate has moved up as well.
