Stat of the Day: Worlds Largest Copper Producers

By -
In the financial world these days, information is loosely passed around as fact whether correct or not. Makes the following table interesting because a lot of people talk about copper and investing in the sector, but this has to be the first table I've seen in a while with the updated production leaders in the category based on 2010 production numbers.

Freeport-McMoRan Copper (FCX) has been a big on and off investment of Stone Fox Capital. They currently rank as the top independent producer and the 2nd overall behind Chile state owned Codelco. FCX has a big lead over BHP Billiton (BHP) as well. 

This list further highlights the focus on FCX as a proxy for copper. Without doing a lot of research, the other public companies listed only have a small focus in copper. Number 9 Southern Copper (SCCO) is the only other option that is at least investable on US exchanges. SCCO has a $30B market cap so it isn't that small considering the big difference in production as compared to FCX.



 Company                                Production
1.  Codelco                                  1,757
2.  Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc.      1,441
3.  BHP Billiton Ltd.                        1,135
4.  Xstrata Plc                                907
5.  Rio Tinto Group                            701
6.  Anglo American Plc                         645
7.  Grupo Mexico                               598
8.  Glencore International AG                  542
9.  Southern Copper Corp.                      487
10. KGHM Polska Miedz SA                       426
* according to London-based metals-consulting company CRU. Production numbers are in thousands of metric tons.

Aurora Cannabis: Deal Or No Deal 







By







-















    Aurora Cannabis was left out of the major deal making in 2018.   The cannabis company updated FQ2 guidance to revenues of $50 to $55 million with a continued focus on pure production growth.   The stock is down as the market is becoming less impressed with commodity farming operations due to the prime Oregon example.   The stock is below key resistance at $5.40 as medical cannabis patient totals failed to impress.       As the end of 2018 came and went,   Aurora Cannabis   ( ACB ) was a notable absentee from the deal making in the cannabis market. Just about all of the other major Canadian cannabis players got large investments or signed up powerful partnerships, but the related stocks didn't generally maintain rallies following the deals. Based on the early legalization data in Canada and Oregon, the best option for Aurora Cannabis might actually be selling production capacity while the Canadian market remains hot.

The Deutsche Bank analyst call on the meeting suggests the company still isn't ready to produce actual numbers from the generative AI demand.  C3.ai ( NYSE: AI ) shares  fell more than 8%  on Friday after investment firm Deutsche Bank reiterated its sell rating on the enterprise software company after it held its investor meeting. Analyst Brad Zelnick said the event "left a lot to be desired" as there were  no details on financials, "limited" updates on the company's operations and investors did not really attend the event, despite it being positioned as for them. "While we appreciate the vast opportunity presented by AI, the event did nothing to ease our skepticism on the true differentiation of the company's platform, its traction with custome
