Southern Copper: The Tia Maria Greenlight Changes Everything (Rating Upgrade)
SCCO
Published: October 30, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Southern Copper Corporation delivered another quarter of strong execution, maintaining EBITDA margins near 60% and one of the lowest cash costs in the industry, supported by higher by-product output and disciplined spending. The long-awaited approval of the $1.8B Tía María project in Peru reduces political risk, strengthens SCCO's growth pipeline, and positions the company to add over 500,000 tons of copper capacity by 2030. SCCO stock valuation remains demanding, with EV/EBITDA around 15x and P/E near 27x, but record profitability (ROE ≈ 39%, net margin ≈ 30%) makes the premium more defensible than in previous quarters.
