By Alex · Tickerpine
Freeport-McMoRan Inc. vs Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., side by side — the numbers that matter, in plain English. No “winner” hype; you decide.
| Metric | FCX | MLM |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $65.18 | $507.17 |
| Market cap | $93.60B | $36.02B |
| P/E ratio | 32.1 | 33.0 |
| ROE | 14.75% | 8.89% |
| Profit margin | 11.39% | 36.74% |
| Revenue growth | -7.30% | 21.00% |
| Dividend yield | 0.92% | 0.66% |
| Beta | 1.39 | 1.08 |
Green = the more favorable figure for that metric (lower P/E, higher ROE, margin, growth and yield). Not a recommendation.
