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

|---|---|---|
| Price | $72.31 | $484.30 |
| Market cap | $103.84B | $34.39B |
| P/E ratio | 35.4 | 31.4 |
| ROE | 14.75% | 8.89% |
| Profit margin | 11.39% | 36.74% |
| Revenue growth | -7.30% | 21.00% |
| Dividend yield | 0.83% | 0.69% |

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