- UBS lifted its target from USD 160.00 to USD 180.00 on October 8, 2026.
- Second-quarter revenue reached USD 4.29 billion, up 40.60 percent year over year, on July 22, 2026.

Southern Copper (ISIN US84265V1052) drew a higher UBS target of USD 180.00, up from USD 160.00 on October 8, 2026, as MarketBeat reports. The change keeps a Sell rating in place and puts analyst expectations against Southern Copper's strong second-quarter operating figures.
Three dated company milestones
On July 22, 2026, Southern Copper reported second-quarter revenue of USD 4.29 billion, a 40.60 percent year-over-year increase, and earnings per share of USD 1.99, according to MarketBeat.
Wells Fargo raised its Southern Copper target from USD 172.00 to USD 190.00 on October 6, 2026, while keeping an Equal Weight rating, the same MarketBeat table shows. UBS followed with its October 8 target change, making the analyst sequence the latest dated development in the stock's coverage.
What does the target change signal?
The answer is a sharper valuation debate rather than a broad ratings shift. MarketBeat lists 14 analysts, with seven Sell ratings, five Holds and two Buys; the average twelve-month target is USD 156.02, below the latest NYSE quote of USD 207.42 on October 13, 2026.
That gap matters because the business delivered powerful year-over-year growth in the second quarter, while the average target still reflects a cautious view of future copper prices, production and valuation. Southern Copper's second-quarter net income reached USD 1.67 billion, giving the operating performance a clear numerical counterweight to the bearish consensus.
Next reporting date
Southern Copper is scheduled to report third-quarter 2026 results on October 27, 2026, according to Drillr. The report will test whether higher copper prices can offset the production pressures discussed in the company's recent quarterly context.
