An update from Southern Copper ( (SCCO) ) is now available.
On June 16, 2026, Southern Copper Corporation priced a US$1.25 billion offering of 5.350% senior unsecured notes due 2036 in an underwritten, registered public transaction expected to close around June 24, 2026. The notes will be general unsecured obligations ranking pari passu with the company’s existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated debt, reflecting continued use of capital markets to fund its long-term growth.
Net proceeds will be used by its Peruvian branch, Southern Peru Copper Corporation, Sucursal del Perú, to help develop the Tia Maria project, finance its capital expenditure program and support general corporate purposes including working capital. The funding is set to bolster the group’s Peruvian growth pipeline and capital spending plans, potentially reinforcing its production capacity and competitive position in the global copper industry while signaling sustained investment in large-scale projects.

Spark’s Take on SCCO Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, SCCO is a Outperform.
The score is primarily supported by exceptional profitability and strong, improving cash generation alongside easing leverage. This is tempered by a relatively full valuation for a cyclical copper business and a near-term governance/continuity overhang from the sudden CEO loss and leadership transition, while technicals remain constructive.
