Southern Copper Financials
Southern Copper (SCCO) reported $13.4B in revenue for fiscal year 2025, up 17.4% from the prior fiscal year. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios.

A high-margin asset base is turning recent sales growth into disproportionately larger profit and cash while still funding heavier reinvestment.
Between FY2023 and FY2025, revenue increased35.6% , but net income climbed78.7% ; that spread means the recent recovery was not just bigger sales, but a cost structure that let more of each added dollar reach the bottom line. That reading is reinforced by operating margin expanding from42.4% to52.2% while SG&A remained a very small share of revenue, so overhead did not absorb the upswing.
