FCX Deadline: Faruqi & Faruqi Reminds Freeport Investors of Lead‑Plaintiff Deadline (Jan. 12, 2026)

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP — a leading U.S. securities‑litigation firm — said on November 30, 2025 that it is investigating potential claims against Freeport‑McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX). The firm is reminding investors who bought or acquired Freeport securities between February 15, 2022 and September 24, 2025 that they have until January 12, 2026 to seek appointment as “lead plaintiff” in the pending class‑action lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges that Freeport and certain of its executives violated U.S. securities laws by making false or misleading statements — or by failing to disclose — that the company had not taken adequate safety measures at its Grasberg Block Cave mine in Indonesia. According to the complaint: (1) safety protocols were insufficient; (2) the lack of proper precautions created a foreseeable risk of worker deaths; (3) that risk translated into regulatory, litigation, and reputational danger; and (4) as a result, previous statements about Freeport’s business, operations, and future prospects were materially false or lacked a reasonable basis. The class‑action was triggered after on‑site events at Grasberg: On September 9, 2025, Freeport suspended mining operations after “a large flow of wet material” trapped seven workers. Then on September 24, 2025, the company disclosed that two among the trapped workers had died, while the other five were still missing. Following those revelations, Freeport’s share price dropped significantly — first by about 5.9%, then by another 17% — inflicting losses on investors. Faruqi & Faruqi encourages any affected investors, as well as individuals with inside knowledge (including whistle‑blowers, former employees, or others), to contact the firm. There is no cost or obligation to express interest; those eligible simply must act before the January 12 deadline if they wish to try to lead the case. #FreeportMcMoRan #ClassAction #InvestorAlert #FCXlawsuit #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
