Analyst EstimatesAnalyst InsightsCompany FundamentalsCommodities & Raw Materials

Morgan Stanley downgraded Freeport-McMoRan to Equal Weight from Overweight and cut its price target to $66 from $70, citing a slower-than-expected production ramp at the Grasberg Block Cave mine in Indonesia. The note signals near-term execution risk for one of FCX's key assets and points to softer production expectations. The move is notable for the stock but is unlikely to have broad market impact.
