I look at Southern Copper as a commodity business: it mines, smelts and refines copper and other minerals, so its fortunes ride on copper prices and the economic cycle. The latest filings show real momentum. In fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-30, revenue was $4.3B, net income $1.7B and diluted EPS $2.01; in fiscal Q2 2025 revenue was $3.1B, net income $976.7M and diluted EPS $1.17. For FY2025, revenue was $13.4B, net income $4.3B and diluted EPS $5.24, up from FY2024 revenue of $11.4B, net income of $3.4B and diluted EPS of $4.21. The profitability is exceptional: FairStock calculates ROE of 49.90% and ROCE of 25.70%, with D/E of 0.68 and an Altman Z-Score of 10.33. That is a strong balance sheet. But the price is the problem. At $207.42 on 2026-10-13, the market cap is $173.1B. FairStock computes a P/E of 31.10, P/B of 14.12, EV/EBITDA of 17.50, FCF yield of 2.9% and a Graham Number of $47.38. The negative margin of safety of 337.78% tells me the market is paying dearly for cyclical earnings. The PEG of 0.43 and FairStock score of 74/100 acknowledge growth, but Graham would demand caution. I would want copper prices and free cash flow to keep confirming the premium before calling it a value investment.

In plain English: Southern Copper mines and sells copper and other minerals, mostly in the Americas. Its latest sales and profits are much higher than a year earlier, and it makes a lot of money relative to the money invested in the business. But the share price looks expensive compared with the value shown in its books and its profits, so it is not obviously cheap.
