What's Driving SCCO's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown

AI-extracted from SOUTHERN COPPER CORP/'s 10-Q filed 2026-04-30 — Q1 2026 (quarter ended March 31, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.

Southern Copper's Q1 net income surged 67% to $1.58B on 36% revenue growth driven by copper prices up 37.5% and stronger silver/zinc volumes.

Biggest Revenue Drivers

Total revenue: $4,251.4M+36.2% YoY

Copper$2,982.6M+22.6% YoY

Higher LME copper prices (+37.5%) partially offset by lower sales volumes (-4.9%).

Silver$531.5M+201% YoY

Strong price increases (+157.9%) and higher sales volumes (+11.6%).

Zinc$145.0M+30.2% YoY

Increased volumes (+16.4%) and higher prices (+14.0%).

Largest Expense Items

Modest increase in administrative costs.

Margins: Operating margin expanded significantly, with operating income rising 61.5% to $2.48B as revenue growth of 36.2% outpaced operating cost growth of 11.6%, driven by stronger metal prices and improved by-product revenue contribution.

Watch Items from the Filing

  • Copper production declined 4.0% YoY to 508.3 million pounds, driven by lower grades at Cuajone, Toquepala, and Buenavista mines, indicating potential reserve depletion concerns.
  • Operating cash cost net of by-product revenues shifted to a credit of ($0.11) per pound from a cost of $0.77 per pound, highly dependent on volatile silver/molybdenum/zinc price surges that may not persist.
  • Eight lawsuits against Peruvian operations related to Tia Maria project remain pending; potential contingency cannot be estimated; Garcia Ataucuri labor shares case involves 8.5M shares with unresolved valuation.
