    Question

    Southern Copper Forecasts 48% EPS Surge Amid Sector Drawdown

    Direct answer

    Southern Copper closed at $200.57, declining 1.81% in the session. Over the trailing month, SCCO is down 2.06%, demonstrating relative stability compared to the broader Basic Materials sector which lost 6.74%. Analysts project third-quarter revenue to rise 29.08% YoY to $4.36 billion, with earnings per share expanding 48.15% to $2.00. The divergence highlights resilient cash generation among top-tier copper miners relative to diversified materials peers.
