Southern Copper Corp/, founded in 1952, is a Chemicals & Materials company based in Phoenix, United States. Its directors and officers file their transactions with SEC (Form 4). Over the twelve months to 18 October 2026, 45 filings were filed, from 9 insiders.
The flow runs one way only: 18 sales worth €2.9M, from 3 insiders, and no purchase. Biggest ticket of the year: €1.7M, sold by Contreras Lerdo de Tejada Leonardo and made public on 3 February 2026.
Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 4 days. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify.
With 45 filings in twelve months, the company is more active than the median of 22 filings across the 5,458 companies we follow on the same exchange. Looking back to 2016, when coverage begins, insiders filed 2 purchases and 56 sales.

Southern Copper Corporation (ticker: SCCO) is a major integrated mining company listed on the NYSE in the United States. For investors, it stands out as one of the most important publicly traded copper producers in the U.S. market, with a business model centered on mining, concentrating, smelting, and refining base metals. The company is incorporated in Delaware and has its principal executive offices in Phoenix, Arizona. Its modern corporate history was shaped by the combination of Southern Peru Copper Corporation and Minera México; the acquisition of Minera México, completed on April 1, 2005, created a large-scale Latin American mining platform with significant operating depth. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1001838/000110465926021492/scco-20251231x10k.htm?utm_source=openai))
Southern Copper’s core earnings engine is built around four principal products: copper, molybdenum, silver, and zinc. The group operates through three reporting segments: Peruvian operations, Mexican open-pit operations, and Mexican underground mining operations. This structure gives SCCO a diversified production base and a meaningful by-product mix, which can help support margins and partially offset commodity price swings in copper. The company emphasizes an integrated value chain from ore extraction to marketable metal products, with by-products playing a material role in overall economics.

From a competitive perspective, Southern Copper is differentiated by the scale of its resource base and by its position as a large, established copper producer in Latin America. Its geographic footprint is concentrated mainly in Peru and Mexico, giving investors direct exposure to global copper demand tied to electrification, power grids, industrial production, and infrastructure spending. The company also highlights its environmental and social commitments, as well as long-dated growth projects such as Tía María in Peru, which management describes as a landmark investment for the Arequipa region.

Recent developments matter for the investment case. The 2025 annual report points to higher net sales, supported by stronger by-product volumes and favorable metal prices. Copper output in 2025 was broadly in line with the annual plan, while zinc and silver production increased. In April 2026, the company announced the unexpected passing of President and CEO Oscar Gonzalez Rocha, a governance event that investors will likely monitor closely. Overall, SCCO remains a benchmark NYSE-listed copper name in the United States, with an investment profile that is highly sensitive to copper cycles, by-product pricing, and operating performance in Peru and Mexico.
