As previously reported, Morgan Stanley upgraded Freeport McMoRan to Overweight with a $29 price target. The firm has reduced concerns about financing due to ramping volumes and cost declines. Morgan Stanley believes Freeport McMoRan's copper growth projects are near an inflection and production increases will drive a 28% volume increase at a lower cost and reduced capex. The company is also considering a sale of public equity for a minority interest in its oil and gas subsidiary that could unlock additional value and generate further funding and reduce debt in the energy business.
