#7 - Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE:FCX)
Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE: FCX) - Freeport-McMoRan is garnering a lot of attention from investors. One of the reasons for this is what seems to be a resolution for a deal surrounding its flagship mining property in Indonesia. That and the fact that CEO, Richard Adkerson, has announced a willingness to sell the company. That will always raise eyeballs. However, while that looks unlikely at this time, one thing that looks positive for the company is their fundamentals. All in all, with a market capitalization of around $17.7 billion, the company appears to be largely undervalued, and a look inside the numbers shows that the stock might be poised for a lift. The company’s most recent earnings report showed a healthy balance sheet with debt on the decline and a positive free cash flow of $827 million. The company also showed a slight increase in year-over-year earnings and sales and shareholders were able to retain $1.46 billion (or $0.60 per share). In the next fiscal year, the company is forecasting total earnings per share that would justify a stock price around $15.07 per share, well above where it is currently trading around $12 per share.
