Southern Copper stock (ISIN US84265V1052) traded at USD 195.91 on September 19, 2026, with a market capitalization of USD 163.46 billion. The move came after Southern Copper reported Q2 FY26 EPS of USD 1.99 and revenue of USD 4.29 billion, both still anchoring the valuation debate.

Q2 numbers still matter

According to MarketBeat, Southern Copper's Q2 result on July 22, 2026 came in at USD 1.99 EPS, which beat the consensus estimate of USD 1.93 by USD 0.06. The same report said revenue reached USD 4.29 billion, up 40.6 percent year over year.

That pair of figures matters because the margin profile stayed high: MarketBeat also cited a net margin of 35.87 percent and return on equity of 49.04 percent. For investors, the key question is whether that earnings power already justifies the stock's elevated multiple.

Analysts stay cautious

MarketBeat said the stock has a consensus rating of Reduce and a consensus target price of USD 146.84, based on 15 analysts. In the same note, Barclays had a target price of USD 164.03 with an underweight rating, while UBS set USD 158.10 after cutting its objective from USD 143.28.

Scotiabank reiterated an underperform rating and lifted its target to USD 138.34 from USD 133.40, and JPMorgan raised its target to USD 129.94 from USD 125.49 while keeping an underweight view. The spread is clear: the market price on September 19, 2026 stood well above those targets.

Stock still prices in a lot

Southern Copper changed hands at USD 195.91 on September 19, 2026, against a 52-week range of USD 108.34 to USD 223.88. That leaves the stock in the upper half of its annual band and close enough to the high to keep valuation in focus.
