(Reuters) - Copper miner Freeport-McMoRan beat Wall Street estimates for quarterly profit on Thursday, helped by higher copper production and higher sales volumes.
On an adjusted basis, the Phoenix, Arizona-based company earned 39 cents per share for the three months ended Sept. 30, compared with average analysts' estimate of 34 cents per share, according to LSEG data.
