Freeport-McMoRan Inc. reported an insider ownership change involving John Joseph Stephens on July 1, 2026. The filing indicates that Stephens acquired shares of Freeport-McMoRan common stock under a prior election to receive company stock instead of cash for some or all of his annual retainer fee. The reported security was Freeport-McMoRan common stock. The filing characterizes the shares as acquired through compensation arrangements rather than through an open-market purchase, and no cash purchase price was disclosed in the provided document. The text also does not specify the number of common shares acquired in the transaction or list a transaction code. A key explanatory note states that Stephens’ post-transaction beneficial ownership includes 15,800 Common Stock Restricted Stock Units. The filing does not provide additional vesting terms, option exercise details, or a total beneficial ownership figure beyond that RSU inclusion note. The report was signed on Stephens’ behalf by Kelly C. Simoneaux under a power of attorney. Overall, the filing reflects a director or insider compensation-related stock acquisition, not a reported sale, signaling that Stephens received Freeport-McMoRan equity as part of his retainer arrangement.
