Freeport-McMoRan Inc. vs Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., side by side — the numbers that matter, in plain English. No “winner” hype; you decide.

| Revenue growth | -7.30% | 21.00% |
| Dividend yield | 0.75% | 0.63% |

Green = the more favorable figure for that metric (lower P/E, higher ROE, margin, growth and yield). Not a recommendation.
