Freeport-McMoRan stock falls 3.44 percent before the bell

At the close on September 23, 2026, Freeport-McMoRan stock had fallen 3.44 percent as copper-sector selling pressure persisted. The company also declared a USD 0.15 dividend payable November 2, 2026.

Freeport-McMoRan stock closed at USD 43.26 on the NYSE on September 23, 2026, down 3.44 percent. The decline followed broader selling across copper equities as copper markets consolidated after recent gains. TradingKey attributed the move to profit-taking, copper-market volatility and operational cost concerns.

September 23, 2026 in numbers

Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (ISIN US35671D8570, NYSE: FCX) traded between USD 42.52 and USD 44.68 before ending at USD 43.26. The 3.44 percent loss compared with a 0.8 percent decline in the S&P 500, which closed at 7,706.03 on the same session date. The stock therefore underperformed the broad US index by 2.64 percentage points.

Copper-sector weakness provided the clearest session context, while elevated costs and the Grasberg ramp-up limited buying interest. Investing.com reported that the board declared a USD 0.15 per-share cash dividend payable on November 2, 2026, to shareholders of record on October 15, 2026.

Dividend date ahead

The dividend payment date is November 2, 2026, with the record date set for October 15, 2026. The September 23 session also left the stock below its prior close while the S&P 500 posted a smaller percentage decline.
