Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE:FCX)’s Chief Executive Officer Richard Adkerson said Freeport had no plans for big M&A deals. Freeport is focused on internal developments versus M&A to grow, "high hurdle" for outside opportunities. Adkerson assured that resolution of Indonesian environmental issues will not disrupt operations or add significant cost to operations. Freeport has no plans to sell the company, recent media coverage "mischaracterized" stock response on M&A question said Adkerson. Freeport sees big M&A deals unlikely with current global uncertainties, "don't consider it something that we would look at in the near-term, given our share price" said Adkerson.
