Description: SCCO Southern Copper December 03, 2025

Southern Copper Corp. (NYSE:SCCO) is a vertically integrated miner operating across Peru, Mexico, Argentina, Ecuador and Chile. Its portfolio spans open-pit and underground extraction of copper, molybdenum, zinc, lead, silver and gold; milling, flotation and concentration; smelting to blister and anode copper; and refining to high-purity cathodes, as well as by-product sulfuric acid and refined precious metals. Core assets include the Toquepala and Cuajone mines and associated smelter-refinery complex in Peru, plus the La Caridad and Buenavista copper complexes, concentrators, SX-EW plants and rod-making facilities in Mexico.

In 2023 SCCO produced roughly 1.2 million tonnes of copper, ranking it among the top three non-state copper producers globally, with an average cash cost of about $1.50 per pound-well below the industry median. The company’s net debt stood at $2.3 billion, yielding a leverage ratio of ~0.6× EBITDA, and it generated $1.9 billion of free cash flow, supporting a dividend yield near 5%. Key macro drivers are the accelerating demand for copper in electric-vehicle batteries and renewable-energy infrastructure, and the firm’s exposure to copper price volatility is partially mitigated by long-term off-take contracts in Peru.
