Starbucks, Freeport-McMoRan, Constellation Energy And More On CNBC's 'Final Trades'

As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-presidential-election">Election Week 2024</a> is upon us, Wall Street is geared up for sector-specific shakeups, with JPMorgan's Bill Peterson spotlighting a decisive split in potential stock moves.
With a Democratic win likely to power up the clean energy sector and a Donald Trump victory poised to boost steel, the stakes are high for investors in metals, mining and clean tech.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Harris Win: Green Light For Clean Tech Rally?</h1>
Should Vice-President Kamala Harris take the White House, expect a boost across clean tech stocks, especially those linked to electric vehicles (EV) and hydrogen.
Peterson points to EVgo Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVGO#NASDAQ">EVGO</a>), ChargePoint Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHPT#NASDAQ">CHPT</a>) and lithium players like Lithium Americas Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LAC#NYSE">LAC</a>) and Piedmont Lithium Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLL#NASDAQ">PLL</a>) as likely to benefit from sustained clean energy initiatives.
Stocks like Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) could also rally, riding on investor confidence that government spending won't dry up for sectors heavily backed by the Inflation Reduction Act and the Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Win: Steel's Comeback With A Dose Of Protectionism</h1>
A Trump victory could be a bullish setup for the steel sector, especially for domestic players like Nucor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>), Steel Dynamics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>), and Cleveland-Cliffs Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>), which would benefit from protectionist policies supporting U.S. steel pricing.
Peterson highlights that Trump's stance against the proposed acquisition of U.S. Steel by Nippon Steel Corp (OTCPK: NISTF) could keep the spotlight on domestic operators, while Trade Expansion Act Section 232 tariffs could make U.S. steel prices attractive.
Kaiser Aluminum Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KALU#NASDAQ">KALU</a>) stands to gain over Constellium SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSTM#NYSE">CSTM</a>) if more tariffs come into play, thanks to Kaiser&#8217;s U.S. footprint.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Rare Earths &amp; Base Metals: Supply Security Takes The Stage</h1>
Regardless of the outcome, Western supply chain security remains a hot-button issue, favorably positioning rare earth and graphite players like MP Materials Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MP#NYSE">MP</a>) and GrafTech International Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EAF#NYSE">EAF</a>).
For base metals, names like Alcoa Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AA#NYSE">AA</a>) and Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>) may see an impact from intensified China tariffs, with pricing ripple effects dependent on global stimulus responses.
With the election outcome set to shape market dynamics, these sectors have distinct paths forward. For now, it's a wait-and-see game for investors in metals, mining, and clean tech.

Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>) closed Wednesday&#8217;s trading session 1.26% lower at $47.92 as the market further digested its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41453243/freeport-mcmoran-beats-q3-estimates-gold-sales-soar-copper-production-stabilizes">third-quarter earnings results</a>.
The leading copper miner reported slightly lower earnings per share, coming at $0.36 instead of the expected $0.37, while soundly beating the consensus revenue estimates of $6.44b, with an actual $6.79.
The response from institutions has been mixed.
<ul>
<li>Raymond James raised the price target to $57 from $55, maintaining an Outperform rating.</li>
<li>RBC Capital Markets maintained a Sector Perform rating with a price target of $58.</li>
<li>Scotiabank (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNS#NYSE">BNS</a>) maintained a Sector Perform rating with a price target of $52.</li>
</ul>
Raymond James analyst Brian MacArthur issued an optimistic view on the miner, quoting sales of 1 billion lbs of copper and 550 Koz of gold in Q3. He noted management&#8217;s expectations to reach 4.1 billion lbs and 1.8 Moz of gold for 2024 and a cash cost of $1.58 per lb of copper.
Meanwhile, the RBC Capital Market highlighted strong free cash flow (FCF), driven by higher copper and gold prices. The firm estimates Freeport can generate $4.8 billion in FCF for 2025, yielding a 7% return at current spot prices.
&#8220;Freeport continues to benefit from high copper and gold prices,&#8221; RBC noted, emphasizing the company's significant leverage to these metals, particularly with copper comprising 75% of its revenue.
While acknowledging strong financials, RBC noted some near-term risks related to Freeport&#8217;s Indonesian smelter, which suffered a fire in October. This could delay production ramp-up into 2025. Furthermore, the smelter issue could require an extension of Freeport&#8217;s concentrate export permit, which expires at the end of the year.
While RBC projects a price target of $58, the potential upside scenario goes as high as $80.
Scotiabank&#8217;s reaction to Freeport-McMoRan's (FCX) Q3 2024 earnings was neutral, though it recognized the company&#8217;s stronger-than-expected performance. Scotiabank's estimate was lower than the market consensus, at $0.30.
Despite the positive earnings, Scotiabank maintained its &#8220;Sector Perform&#8221; rating on FCX, highlighting a &#8220;relatively balanced risk-reward&#8221; profile, but slightly reduced its 12-month price target from $52 to $52.
Analyst Orest Wowkodaw noted that the multi-year production guidance remained unchanged, with copper cash cost guidance in line with prior expectations. Scotiabank pointed out that the multi-year production guidance remained unchanged, with copper cash cost guidance in line with prior expectations.
It is worth noting that Wowkodaw downgraded Freeport-McMoRan to Sector Perform from Outperform on September 30, citing recent share price appreciation and the negligible implied return to its target for the downgrade after its shares rose 28% through September.

Raymond James Maintains Outperform on Freeport-McMoRan, Raises Price Target to $57

Wall Street traded lower for the second consecutive day on Tuesday, as investor sentiment turned cautious with the U.S. presidential election <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-elections">just two weeks away. </a>
Concerns over U.S. fiscal policies and potential shifts in economic direction fueled the pause in risk-taking.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) upgraded its U.S. growth forecasts for 2024 and 2025 in the latest World Economic Outlook, while also flagging rising concerns about the country's debt trajectory, warning that with current large fiscal deficits, &#8220;the U.S. public debt is not stabilized.&#8221;

Michael Ballanger of GGM Advisory Inc. sends his thoughts on the current state of the market, looking at oil, copper, gold, and silver.
The USD Index futures are down 0.167% to 102.915 this morning with the 10-yr. (-1.39%) yield down to 4.068% and 30-yr. (-0.27%) down at 4.37%.
The metals are mixed with gold (+0.27%) and silver (+0.43%) higher, but copper (-1.11%) is down to $4.35/lb. Oil (-3.74%) is sharply lower, trading at USD $70.88/bbl. Stock futures are higher, with the DJIA futures up .04% and the S&amp;P 500 futures (+0.04%) up, while NASDAQ futures are up by 0.04%. Risk barometer Bitcoin is up $702 to $65,704(+ 1.08%).
<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/20241015103121_1.png" style="height:354px; width:779px" />
Due largely to the &quot;Seasonal MACD Buy Signal&quot; issued by The Stocks Trader&#39;s Almanac yesterday, the Best Six Months of the trading year have just kicked into gear, with the major averages at or near all-time highs. The DJIA hit an all-time high yesterday at 43,139, with the S&amp;P 500 hitting its ATH last Friday.
The NASDAQ Composite hit an ATH on July 11 at 18,671 and remains 169 points away. The Russell 2000 (small cap index) hit its ATH back in October 2021, with the ETF&nbsp;trading at $230.72 and is now $7.83 points away. Considering that September and October are seasonally weak months, it has been a statistical anomaly to be registering ATHs in mid-October during a presidential election year, but then again, this entire market is a &quot;statistical anomaly&quot; in many respects as I indicated last evening with those four charts. There was a time when one could use historical market patterns to time entries and exits, but with the algobots now controlling well over 70% of the volume on the NYSE, these historical norms are becoming less relevant every year.
Nonetheless, the markets are quickly approaching overbought territory and as can be observed from the chart of the S&amp;P, it is trading a full 11.1% above its 200-dma, which is &quot;overextended&quot;, to put it mildly. I have to respect seasonality, so if there has been no meaningful drawdown by the end of this week, I will be looking to add a few calls in anticipation of a year-end rally.
<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/20241015103148_2.jpg" style="height:639px; width:684px" />
<h2>Copper</h2>
I am posting the copper chart this morning and drawing your attention to the 100-DMA at $4.36/lb. With the price now beneath that level at $4.35 along with the overnight low of $4.3317, a close below the 100-dma sets up a test of the convergence zone between the 50- dma @ $4.27 and the 200-dma @ $4.24. That should be enough to take Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fcx#NYSE">FCX</a>) back below the gap it created after the Chinese stimulus package was announced that took the stock from $45 on the close the prior session only to open $3.00 higher the following day at $48.10.
I was uneasy about selling the FCX calls and half of the shares back in the $51.50 range a few weeks back, but sometimes the discipline one acquires after being beaten like a common farm animal so many times pays off. I cannot count the number of times I stayed in a position that moved from a win to a loss because I failed to heed the old adage, &quot;When conditions change, one must change.&quot; When copper went into overbought conditions in late September, conditions changed. Hopefully, they are about to change again for the better.
