Southern Copper: the business
Southern Copper mines copper in Peru and Mexico, and its parent Grupo Mexico owns most of its shares.
What tends to move it. Copper prices and Peruvian political and social risks drive earnings, and it pays a large dividend.
Where the case gets weaker. Copper prices falling would hit earnings directly given how concentrated the business is in that one metal, and social unrest or new mining regulations in Peru have disrupted operations there before and could do so again without much warning.
