Frequently asked questions
What is Southern Copper Corporation's revenue?
Southern Copper Corporation's trailing twelve-month revenue is $14.55B, and consensus projects about $24.90B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is SCCO?
In its most recent fiscal year, SCCO ran a gross margin of 56.67%, an operating margin of 52.17%, and a net margin of 32.30%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does SCCO generate?
SCCO produced $3.43B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is SCCO's balance sheet healthy?
SCCO holds $4.30B in cash and equivalents against $6.75B in long-term debt, on $11.04B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
