Southern Copper’s $20 Billion Expansion Plan—and Why the Market Is Watching Tia Maria Closely!
Southern Copper Corporation’s latest financial performance offers a complex landscape for potential investors, characterized by both robust growth and emerging challenges. The company achieved unprecedented figures in net sales, adjusted EBITDA, and net income in 2025, underlined by a significant rise in by-product production and improved metal prices, particularly for copper, zinc, silver, and molybdenum. On the positive side, Southern Copper reported record net sales of $13.4 billion, up 17% from 2024, largely attributed to increased production volumes and improved prices across its product portfolio. The company achieved a record EBITDA of $7.8 billion, representing a 22% increase from the previous year, and net income surged to $4.3 billion, up 28% from 2024, driven by higher net sales and precise cost control. The strong performance in metal prices was evident, with copper prices on the London Metal Exchange rising by 21% year-on-year.
